Description
A rare Nashville-based opportunity to join the City Winery marketing team as we reimagine the future of live music and hospitality. It's been a hectic but exciting year at City Winery, and we've never been busier: developing best-in-class safety protocols, launching an exclusive livestreaming concert series, creating new virtual wine tasting experiences, and rapidly expanding our ecommerce business, to name just a few recent projects and oh - did I mention that we're getting ready to launch a new website? Does that sound exhausting? Do you want to get involved anyway? This just might be the job for you.
We're all wearing many hats these days, so we're looking for someone who is ready to roll up their sleeves with us, roll with the pandemic punches, and be an all-star local marketing lead for Nashville plus a whole lot more. City Winery is committed to being an industry leader in helping to bring back live music and hospitality safely - and we're looking for the right person to help us make that happen.
A Cover Letter and Resume are required to apply for this position.
