We're Tasting Collective (tastingcollective.com), the nation's largest private supper club community on a mission to reinvent the traditional dining experience. Every month, we team up with top independent restaurants all over the country to turn their dining rooms into culinary stages upon which their chefs get to put on a show (and form meaningful human connections with our food-obsessed members). We currently operate our dining club in 16 cities, one of which is NYC, and we're looking for a talented Event Lead to help produce our chef-led tasting events at the city's best restaurants (in a part-time, but ongoing, capacity).
As our NYC Event Lead, you'll be the face of Tasting Collective at our events. You will interface directly with the city's most acclaimed chefs, restaurant staff, and our members to make sure our events run seamlessly. Your responsibilities will include setting up our event equipment at restaurants (PA/Microphone System, menus, etc.), configuring seating charts, welcoming attendees, emceeing the events/leading Q&A with Chef, and breaking down our equipment post-event.
The ideal candidate will be hyper-organized/detail-oriented, outgoing/personable, self-confident/comfortable delegating tasks & managing people, and, most importantly, SUPER dependable. The ability to work independently in a high-energy/fast-paced environment (restaurants!) is A MUST. Past work experience in event coordination, theater/performance production, and/or TV/Film production is a big plus. Past experience working in restaurants certainly doesn't hurt, but is by no means a requirement. Oh, and ideally, you're passionate about food/restaurants too!
Again, this is very much a PART-TIME POSITION, so if you need full-time work, this job is NOT going to be a fit for you. You're only working on event days, and we typically host 1-2 events monthly in NYC. But, on those days, it's a full day's work, so it won't work if you have a 9-5 in-office job.
