Nightclub and Event Manager

ABOUT US

The Rechabite hosts some of the hottest shows in Perth, spanning a diverse range of genres from live music to comedy, cabaret to dining and everything in between.

Nestled within the bones of a stunning century+ heritage building, at the nexus of Perth’s cultural hub and late-night epicentre, we combine a year-round calendar of entertainment with great food, drinks and hospitality across four levels.

We’re a well-resourced, experienced team that values creativity, collaboration and professionalism. We pride ourselves on being a safe, welcoming and inclusive place to work and understand that people who enjoy what they do are at the heart of a successful venue.

THE ROLE AT A GLANCE

We’re looking for a Nightclub and Event Manager who understands that great events are about much more than getting people through the door.

You’ll be responsible for overseeing the event experience across our two main event spaces, Goodwill Club (250 capacity) and Rechabite Hall (799 capacity), while acting as a key point of contact for event bookers, artists, organisers and guests.

Reporting to the Venue Manager, you’ll lead from the front, supporting our box office team as they welcome guests, manage ticketing and prepare spaces.

In addition, you’ll work with our programming and production team to look after booking clients, artists and organisers, ensuring worksheet requirements are delivered on time, backstage areas are maintained to a high standard and day-of needs are addressed.

·      Strong organisation and time-management skills, with the ability to juggle competing priorities in a busy environment.

·      An eye for detail and commitment to continuous improvement.

HIGHLY REGARDED

·      Previous experience in artist-liaison, box office and/or hospitality supervisory roles.
