Rockstar Event Lead needed for Nation's Largest Supper Club

Washington DC

Description

We're Tasting Collective (tastingcollective.com), the nation's leading private supper club community on a mission to transform the traditional restaurant experience into one that is all about fostering human connection. We've been hibernating for the past year and a half (thanks a bunch COVID!), but we're officially gearing up for our nationwide relaunch to resume our events in the 12 cities that we operated in before the pandemic. Finally! With this in mind, we're looking for a rockstar Event Lead in DC to help host our chef-led dining events at DC's very best restaurants. As Event Lead, you will be the face of the Tasting Collective brand at our events. You will interface with acclaimed chefs, restaurant managers, and our customers to make sure our events run seamlessly and are successful. Your responsibilities will include setting up our event equipment at restaurants (PA System, menus, etc.), configuring seating charts, welcoming attendees upon their arrival, emceeing during our events, and breaking down equipment post-event. The ideal candidate will be incredibly dependable, hyper-organized, detail-oriented, outgoing, personable, self-confident, and comfortable delegating tasks/managing people. The ability to work independently, in a high-energy/fast-paced environment (restaurants!) is essential. Past work experience in event coordination, theater/performance production, and/or TV/Film production is a big plus, but not essential. Past experience working in restaurants doesn't hurt either but is by no means a requirement. Oh, and ideally you're passionate about food/restaurants and creating awesome experiences too! To apply, reply to this posting with your resume AS AN ATTACHMENT and a brief cover letter in which you explain why this role was made for you. Also, make sure the subject line of your email is "DC Event Lead Applicant". Note, this is NOT a full-time position.
