F&B Event Manager in California at Singer Drivers Club at Willow Springs Raceway

F&B Event Manager

Singer Drivers Club | Willow Springs Raceway | Mojave Desert, California

ABOUT SINGER DRIVERS CLUB

Singer Drivers Club (SDC) is a world-class private motorsport and lifestyle club at Willow Springs Raceway — the fastest road in the West since 1953. Set deep in the Mojave Desert, SDC hands its members the keys to six legendary circuits, elite driver coaching, concierge-level service, curated food and beverage, and an expansive outdoor pursuits program. This is more than a track. It's a founding-team opportunity to build something rare from the ground up — a club that fuses raw performance, real adventure, and genuine community at a standard set to rival the finest private clubs in the country. For the right person, this is the chance to help write the standard rather than inherit it.

SDC joins a distinguished family of private clubs and communities that includes Yellowstone Club, Moonlight Basin, Spanish Peaks, and Crazy Mountain Ranch — some of the most extraordinary member destinations anywhere. To build a career inside a collection this ambitious is a rare thing: the standard you help set here connects to a much larger world of remarkable places and the people who bring them to life.

THE ROLE

The F&B Event Manager brings SDC's events to life — from an intimate member dinner to a large-format trackside gathering under the Mojave sky. You own each event end to end: planning, logistics, budgeting, staffing, and flawless day-of execution.

You'll build event proposals and BEOs, manage timelines and floor plans, coordinate rentals and vendors, and run the room on event day. Because our events pull in the kitchen, valet, and concierge, you'll lead teams that don't report to you and make them move as one.

You'll partner with members on everything from menus to décor to flow, translating what they want into a plan the whole team can execute. When something goes sideways mid-service — and it will — you solve it before the guest ever notices.

This is a member-facing role in a private club. Relationships are the job: you'll become the person members trust with their most important celebrations, and the reason they book the next one.
