Job Summary

We are seeking a high-performing, relationship-driven VIP Manager to lead VIP programming across two of our Nashville venues: Experience Zuzu, an upscale Asian dining restaurant and club, and The Valentine, one of the most established honky-tonks on Broadway.

This is a guest facing, performance based role with significant earning potential.

What You’ll Be Doing (Key Responsibilities)

•       Own the VIP table experience from pre-sale to night-of execution at both Zuzu and The Valentine

•       Build and manage your own network of clients, nightlife connectors, and high-value guests

•       Proactively drive reservations, upsells, and repeat business through strategic outreach and presence

•       Collaborate with internal teams (F&B, marketing, events) to maximize revenue and elevate service

•       Track and convert general admission guest lists, particularly for targeted time windows and activations

•       Represent the Elia Group brand with professionalism and personality, both in and out of the venues

•       Play a foundational role in shaping and scaling the VIP program as new properties open

What We Expect of You

At ELIA, we use our unique experience and contributions to deliver more than value – we set new standards! We seek someone that is looking for more than a job – we want to work with someone who is as passionate as us about what we do and how we go about doing it.

Your success with us requires these qualifications:

•       A hospitality pro with experience in VIP sales, nightlife management, or event hosting

•       Charismatic, proactive, and relentlessly guest-focused

•       Energized by a fast-paced, late-night environment

•       Excited about working on commission and tying success directly to performance

•       Organized, accountable, and confident in managing relationships at every level

•       Comfortable working nights, weekends, and special event dates

Competitive Salary and Great Benefits

• Vision insurance
• Dining Discounts
• Paid time off
