There is a world of work to be done at a venue before and after fans descend for a show. The person in charge of getting it done is the General Manager, who supervises the day-to-day operations of Headliners Music Hall. With administrative, logistical, and creative duties in both the front- and back-of-house, there’s never a dull moment. This is a hands-on job. You will be expected to perform administrative tasks as well as supervising performances at night and on weekends.

Headliners’ General Manager is responsible for hiring, training, scheduling, and supervising in-house staff. Maintaining a diverse and equitable atmosphere is key to a happy staff and a successful venue. You will oversee the cleaning, maintenance and safety of the venue to ensure Headliners and its in-house gear and operations are in good working order so that artists and patrons have a positive and memorable experience.

The General Manager duty is to communicate and coordinate with performers and the venue production manager before and after shows. You must work closely with the tour. The General Manager will work with the production staff to schedule show labor and coordinate hospitality, book runners, or merch sellers etc for artists and their traveling party. You will work with the box office staff to reconcile ticket sales and settle the show with the tour manager. You will also execute artist contracts for all artists performing at Headliners.

You will come up with creative and profitable ways to fill open nights on the calendar, including scheduling theme nights, creating artist residencies, and planning other private events.

The General Manager will be the primary oversight for ownership for all profit and cost centers within the Headliners organization including bar sales, payroll, vendors and contractors. Additionally, you will work with our bookkeeper to manage show settlements, maintenance expenses, and payroll for our employees.
