Who You Are:
You’re a natural host and a confident leader who can efficiently run a busy bar while keeping a sharp eye on the bigger picture. You thrive in high-energy environments, calmly directing staff, setting the pace, and ensuring every service detail is on point. Whether it’s a lively party, a professional mixer, or a curated cultural event, you know how to create the right atmosphere and ensure everything runs smoothly, from setup to last call. You take pride in delivering exceptional experiences, ensuring protocols are followed, staff are supported, and guests feel seen, served, and delighted. You’ll work closely with our Experience & Culture Coordinator to bring each event to life—on time, on brand, and with just the proper pour.

Who We Are:
KWENCH is a premium multi-service work and culture club that provides individuals and businesses with office space, conference rooms, fitness facilities, creative studios, events, learning, community, and food all under one roof. Thus, members can conveniently engage in experiences that support a happy, curious, and connected lifestyle.

• Lead pre-event walkthroughs and quick team huddles to align staff, confirm details, and set expectations.

• Flag any issues or gaps in the event plan early and suggest creative, practical solutions.

• Create a polished and fun vibe where clients feel cared for and staff feel empowered.
