Sourcing Specialist
Boost your chances before you apply.
Flok
Arlington, TX, US
Summary
You will manage the end-to-end venue sourcing process, from assessing client needs and running RFPs to negotiating contracts. You are responsible for building proposals, analyzing venue options, and delivering a complete, contract-ready venue kit for each project.
Job Description
About us
We plan corporate retreats end to end for growing companies, offering a la carte solutions across the event-management process. Our delivery network is independent operators who own their projects and pick their work, backed by a team that handles account management and technical support so you can focus on the craft.
What this role is
You own venue sourcing from brief to signed contract. You run multiple RFPs at once, pull and analyze your own comps, negotiate the deal, and hand planning a clean, contract-ready venue. This is autonomous, project-based work for someone who runs their own book, not a support seat on a sourcing team.
What you will own
- Assess client needs and translate them into a sourcing brief
- Research venues, build and analyze proposals, present recommendations
- Negotiate rates and concessions through to signed contract
- Run concurrent RFPs across multiple client programs
- Document the timeline and deliverables; assemble the full venue kit
What we are looking for
- You have carried a number: a quota, commission, or full ownership of a contract line
- Background as a hotel group sales manager, convention services manager, CVB national sales manager, or sourcing manager at a third-party firm (HelmsBriscoe, ConferenceDirect, HPN Global) or a DMC/TMC
- You have sourced single-property programs with room blocks above 200, where the venue set is small and the negotiation is on space as much as rate
- You pull your own comps and run RFPs without being walked through them
- You decide on thin information and move, rather than waiting for direction
- You want flexible, autonomous, project-based work
Your team's time is too valuable for an average retreat. We design retreats that drive real results.

With Flok handling every detail, from strategy to execution, you can focus on what matters most: connecting with your people and moving your business forward.
