Venue Manager

The Venue Manager (VM) will manage all aspects of Two Forty Thirty , a unique New York City Private Venue & Art Gallery. The VM will work alongside the Managing Partner, Michael Cerbelli, as well as the Managing Director, to oversee a portfolio of high-end events. The ideal candidate must work independently and professionally, communicating directly with clients to plan and execute corporate, social, and brand events, as well as TV & Movie Productions, and non-profit events, to name a few.

The VM is responsible for leading the sales development, event planning, and execution of events that take place at Two Forty Thirty , while also ensuring that the venue is kept in pristine condition. Having the ability to multitask, delegate, and follow up will be a major key to success. The VM will be working alongside team members, clients, and strategic partners to drive an event from brief to delivery.

They must be creative and enjoy working within a small, dynamic environment that is fast-paced and demanding, yet fulfilling.

The ideal individual will have the ability to exercise good judgment in a variety of situations, with strong written and verbal communication and organizational skills, while having the ability to maintain a realistic balance among multiple priorities and be quick to reply to leads and client needs. They will have the ability to work independently on projects from conception to completion and must be able to work under pressure at times to handle a wide variety of activities and confidential matters with discretion.

The VM will lead all scheduled events, projects, vendors, and resources, while sourcing the right talents, both internally and externally, to fulfill projects to the highest standards. They create timing plans and budgets within our time and tracking system, assume responsibility for the review and approval process of creative output, and ensure the projects they own will run on time and within budget.

The premier candidate will need to be great with creative teams and vendors alike, hardworking, and passionate about creativity and producing the best events. Someone who really respects and understands that although creativity needs freedom, it also needs to follow a framework and process to allow it to thrive.

The VM should have an owner’s mentality while having meticulous attention to detail and be responsible for the overall look and feel of Two Forty Thirty . They should have excellent communication and organizational skills, understand the importance of the profitability of projects for the agency, and will need to prove themselves as organized in the day-to-day running of multiple prestigious projects.
