Festival Venue Manager – Job Description
Venue Managers are responsible for the day to day running of their venues’ daily performance schedule, cleanliness and general presentation throughout.
It is your responsibility to ensure the safety and well being of the venue crew along with first class hospitality to make our performers and guests feel welcome, appreciated and at home. You will be asked to run a venue team of between 2 and 7 crew members with an intense schedule of 9 shows per day, with turnaround times being sometimes as little as 15 minutes.
A Venue Manager is really the front line of technical support and a great deal of responsibility is entrusted to ensure that Pleasance’s high standards are being met at all times. A perfect Venue Manager should be confident, approachable, mature, equipped with a positive attitude and have a real air of professionalism. This role demands an incredible amount of time management. It is vital that all our performances must start on time, all day, every day, and this predominately is down to you.
In addition to the above, customer service experience is essential as the Venue Manager will come into contact with the public on a daily basis and may be required to assist in resolving a multitude of queries or situations. A broad technical knowledge suited to the scale of venue you wish to apply for is desirable but not necessarily essential.
