Job Description
Nectar Lounge, established in 2004, stands out as Seattle's premier indoor/outdoor music venue and a cherished cornerstone of the city's vibrant live music scene. Renowned for hosting a diverse range of performances, Nectar Lounge has contributed significantly to Seattle’s rich musical tradition by showcasing local, national, and international musicians across various genres. The venue offers an inviting environment where people from all walks of life can enjoy live music in an engaging and friendly atmosphere. Nectar Lounge’s latest expansion, Hidden Hall, extends its legacy as a hub for live music, offering additional stages and spaces that continue to nurture Seattle’s dynamic music culture. Together, Nectar Lounge and Hidden Hall represent a collective commitment to supporting artists and music fans alike, creating unforgettable experiences night after night.
We are currently seeking dedicated and vigilant Security personnel for both Nectar Lounge and Hidden Hall. The Security role is a critical position that ensures the safety and well-being of all guests, staff, and performers within these bustling live music environments. Working as part of our team means you become a crucial part of Seattle’s music tradition, safeguarding an atmosphere where everyone feels welcome and secure.
The primary responsibility of the Security position is to create and maintain a safe environment by enforcing venue policies and applicable liquor laws. This includes welcoming guests warmly, verifying IDs for age compliance, and monitoring alcohol consumption to prevent intoxication-related issues. Key tasks also involve securing points of access to prevent unauthorized entry, employing observation skills to identify potential disturbances, and using effective de-escalation tactics when necessary to manage conflicts calmly and professionally. Security staff play an essential role in protecting not only the patrons but also the employees by escorting staff safely to their vehicles at the end of shifts. This position requires individuals who are attentive, approachable, and capable of quick decision-making to handle unpredictable situations effectively.
Given the nature of live entertainment venues, the Security role demands flexibility in work hours, including evenings, weekends, and holidays, to align with the event schedule and business needs. The position offers a competitive hourly wage of $20.30, recognizing the importance and responsibility entrusted to our security team members. Candidates interested in joining Nectar Lounge and Hidden Hall’s dedicated workforce should possess relevant work experience and a resume that demonstrates their capability to manage safety in dynamic, high-energy environments.
We strongly encourage applications from Women, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ individuals who are under-represented in the live music industry, as we strive to foster an inclusive and diverse workplace that reflects our community’s vibrant culture. If you are passionate about supporting live music and ensuring a safe space for all attendees, consider applying for this exciting opportunity and become part of Seattle’s ongoing music legacy.
