Location: Lincoln

Type: Full-Time

The Venue:

Step into Lincoln's best-kept secret—a world-class immersive jazz club where every night is a performance, every drink a masterpiece, and every dish a journey back to the glamour of 1930s New York. This is more than a club—it's an experience, a destination, a stage for the extraordinary.

The Role:

We are seeking a visionary Artistic Director & Venue Manager to command both the creative and operational heartbeat of our club.

  • Operations Mastery: Oversee daily operations, ensuring world-class service, food, and cocktails. Manage staff across bar, kitchen, and front-of-house to maintain impeccable standards.
  • Elite Talent Leadership: Recruit, train, and lead top-tier bar and kitchen talent. Inspire a culture of excellence, precision, and creativity in every aspect of the venue.
  • Commercial Acumen: Monitor budgets, manage inventory, and maintain commercial awareness to ensure sustainable, profitable operations.
  • Booking & Systems Management: Oversee booking systems and event schedules, ensuring seamless coordination of all performances, private events, and reservations.
  • Guest Experience: Ensure every customer interaction—from cocktails to cuisine to service—is flawless, consistently exceeding expectations.
  • Marketing Collaboration: Work with marketing and PR teams to elevate the club's profile, making it Lincoln's most coveted nightlife destination.

Who You Are:

  • A proven leader with experience in artistic direction and venue management in jazz, live music, or immersive theatre.
  • A master of producing shows from concept to delivery, with attention to detail at every stage.
  • Commercially aware, capable of balancing creative vision with profitable operations.
  • Experienced in managing booking systems and coordinating complex schedules.
  • Passionate about high standards in food, cocktails, and service, inspired by the glamour of 1930s New York.
  • A dynamic communicator, motivator, and problem-solver who thrives in a fast-paced, high-expectation environment.
  • Flexible to work evenings, weekends, and during events.

Why This Role is Exceptional:

This isn't just a job—it's a chance to create Lincoln's most secretive and glamorous cultural destination. You'll lead the charge in crafting experiences that blend live jazz, immersive storytelling, and world-class hospitality, setting a new standard for entertainment and dining.
