This exciting opportunity is for a motivated and experienced individual to join Live Nation Entertainment's Venue Management and National Fans Services teams. The role is a pivotal leadership position, offering overall responsibility for facility operations and physical plant management. The successful candidate will collaborate closely with the market leadership team and report directly to the General Manager. This exempt position entails a diverse range of duties focused on managing all aspects of venue operations and maintenance. Responsibilities include overseeing front of house operations, preventive maintenance, third-party contracting, governmental compliance, staffing, and the seamless setup and teardown of events.

In this role, you will be instrumental in developing and managing budgets related to repairs, maintenance, and venue supplies, as well as supporting preparation of annual and quarterly operations budgets alongside the General Manager. You will ensure that facility equipment, such as crowd control devices, HVAC systems, elevators, and other infrastructure, remain in optimum working condition. The role requires performing routine housekeeping and grounds maintenance to maintain safety and cleanliness of the venue’s interior and exterior areas. Coordination with city officials, venue maintenance departments, and external contractors for repair and maintenance projects will also be part of your remit.

Compliance is critical, and you will be responsible for ensuring all licenses, certifications, and government reports are current and properly filed. Maintaining strong relationships with local municipalities, police, fire departments, and other relevant agencies is essential to this position. You will implement and enforce all Live Nation policies, procedures, and programs, guaranteeing adherence to company standards.

Another key focus is personnel management, including employee onboarding, training, recruiting, supervision of part-time staff across multiple departments (such as Security, Maintenance, Cleaning, Usher/Ticket Taker), and ongoing staff development programs. The position demands a commitment to providing a safe and enjoyable environment for both guests and employees. You will investigate and resolve guest complaints, maintain incident reports, manage pending cases, and attend arbitration hearings if necessary. Crucially, this role will require being present onsite for both show days and non-show operations to ensure smooth venue functionality.

Live Nation Entertainment prizes leadership that exemplifies strong management and communication skills, deep knowledge of venue operations and facility management, and experience liaising with public officials. The ideal candidate will have a minimum of two years' experience as a House or Operations Manager or in a similar role, with demonstrated ability to manage multiple departments and a large number of staff. Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications and familiarity with workday or timekeeping systems is advantageous.

This position comes with a competitive salary ranging from $62,000 to $78,000 USD based on qualifications and experience. Live Nation Entertainment promotes a fast-paced yet inclusive work environment with a commitment to equal employment opportunity, diversity, and accommodation for individuals with disabilities. If you are passionate, motivated, and eager to contribute to one of the leading names in live entertainment, this role is the perfect fit for you.
