• Coordinate with DJs, vendors, and partners to create high-energy experiences
• Oversee execution on event nights to ensure smooth operations and guest satisfaction

• Lead from the floor during peak shifts and major events
• Ensure compliance with all alcohol, safety, and operational standards

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience in event planning, promotions, or nightlife programming
• Ability to execute high-volume events and manage fast-paced service environments
• Strong leadership and team development skills
• Hands-on, proactive management style with strong floor presence
• Experience with scheduling, inventory, and operational controls
• Excellent communication, organization, and problem-solving skills
• Familiarity with the Charlotte nightlife scene is a major plus

• Base Salary: $65,000–$75,000 (DOE)
• 50% employer-paid health coverage
• Growth path to General Manager and multi-unit leadership
• High-visibility role with direct exposure to ownership
• Opportunity to shape and lead a dynamic nightlife concept

• Event-driven role with direct impact on revenue and guest experience
