  • Collaborating with Theater Operations and Front of House teams to ensure smooth patron entry and badge validation
What We're Looking For:
  • Strong in-person customer service skills
  • Ability to stay calm, courteous, and solutions-oriented under pressure
  • Detail-oriented with solid organizational habits
  • Reliable and punctual with the ability to follow meal and rest break policies
  • Experience handling cash and using POS and/or ticketing systems (Agile Ticketing experience a plus)
  • Team players with a passion for film and events
  • Preference for people based in the Bay Area

Our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Commitment:

We strive for a culture where people feel like they are valued, can bring their whole selves to work free of oppression, injustice, harassment or discrimination, and that they experience belongingness through a common purpose. We are taking steps to ensure that the California Film Institute is a safe and equitable space for staff members, filmmakers and audiences alike by incorporating inclusivity, diversity and accessibility measures into our business plan and tangible KPIs to hold ourselves accountable to serve and engage diverse audiences through our work. We are also working to examine racial justice internally in order to drive self-discovery and best inform how we can change practices and utilize our voice and position within the community.

CAFILM is an equal opportunity employer to all. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment.
