Core Responsibilities 1. Hospitality Leadership & Guest Experience (Primary Focus) Own and champion the overall hospitality approach for the venue. Serve as the lead host and guest-facing presence, operating from the Welcome Booth while maintaining awareness of the entire campus. Communicate daily specials and merch deals to guests to drive revenue. Set the tone for warmth, clarity, and professionalism from guest arrival through departure. This includes appropriate music vibe and volume and proper lighting at all times. Actively circulate the venue as needed to troubleshoot guest concerns, resolve issues, and elevate experiences in real time.

Grow revenue through deploying mobile bartenders and customer service offerings, and drive customer experience by ensuring customer service is proactive, including all roles from retail staff and bussers. 3. Venue & Event Operations Act as site lead when the GM is off-site, with full responsibility for on-the-ground execution, in addition to when GM is on site as directed. Ensure the campus is fully prepared for daily operations, community programming, and ticketed concerts. Coordinate venue transitions between daytime operations and show nights. Support and collaborate with the Event Production Manager on show execution, guest flow, and issue resolution. Assist with venue rearrangements, guest flow planning, and safety oversight as needed. Pro-actively ‘see the unseen’, e.g no paper in the bathrooms, missed spills, or opportunities to go above and beyond to surprise and delight guests. 4. Team Leadership & Support Foster a cohesive, upbeat, and guest-first culture across all teams. Serve as a trusted leader on the floor—approachable, decisive, and calm under pressure. Mentor department leads and front-line staff, offering real-time feedback and support. Assist with staffing coordination, schedule support, and on‑site training execution. Help resolve staff concerns in the moment and elevate appropriately when needed. 5.

Clear communicator who brings calm, clarity, and decisiveness during busy moments. A true team connector who enjoys aligning people and departments toward a common goal. Self-starter with a strong work ethic and a hands-on, solutions-oriented mindset. Curious, eager to learn, and generous in sharing knowledge with others. Balanced confidence and self-awareness, with respect for both guests and teammates. This role is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of hospitality, operations, and live experiences—and who takes pride in being the person that both guests and staff trust when it matters most. #J-18808-Ljbffr Levitate
