About the Role

Studio of Legends is looking for a Lounge, Events & Revenue Manager to take ownership of our private lounge and event space in Downtown Toronto.

This is not simply a floor-manager position.

We are looking for someone who can operate the space, build a strong hospitality team, generate bookings, develop events and increase revenue.

Our lounge operates differently from a traditional restaurant or nightclub. The space serves our existing studio clientele while also hosting private bookings, birthdays, listening events, corporate events, networking events, themed nights, live entertainment and other experiences.

The right person will be given the opportunity to help turn the lounge into a consistently profitable operation.
