As part of the company's portfolio, SKYLIGHT is one of the premier venues that embody the brand's dedication to quality and client-focused service.

The role of Assistant Client Concierge (ACC) at 828 Venue Management Company is crucial in delivering an exceptional client and guest experience while supporting the brand's reputation. This part-time position primarily involves working closely with clients from setup through event completion to ensure seamless execution and professional service. The ACC assists with guest and vendor coordination, manages event timelines, supports ceremony rehearsals, and oversees decor setup and breakdown. Beyond front-of-house event assistance, the position may include administrative support, preparing client deliverables, and contributing to social media efforts to highlight venue features and events.

This role demands an individual who can handle high-energy environments, coordinate effectively with multiple parties, and provide exceptional customer service under pressure.

The work schedule includes evenings, weekends, and a dedicated team office day on Wednesdays, accommodating the typical demands of the event industry. Candidates must be at least 21 years old and possess up-to-date local alcohol certification as events often involve alcohol service. The position offers hourly compensation, paid bi-monthly, with eligibility for overtime, though the company does not guarantee a set number of hours or events. This opportunity is ideal for individuals seeking part-time work with the possibility of increased hours and responsibilities based on event volume and venue performance.

828 Venue Management Company prides itself on inclusivity and equal opportunity employment, encouraging a diverse range of candidates to apply. The company values diversity in its workforce, ensuring a welcoming environment for all employees regardless of race, gender, age, or other protected characteristics. Joining the 828 team means becoming part of a company dedicated to unlocking unique and memorable experiences through outstanding service and dynamic venues.

In summary, the Assistant Client Concierge role is a vital component of the client experience at 828 Venue Management Company.
