Bring the joy of movies back.
The Sunset Theater is looking for an Assistant Manager who understands the flow of a village movie house — someone who can keep things running smoothly when it’s quiet, and step up confidently when the lobby is buzzing. Nights, weekends, and holidays are when we’re at our busiest, and we need someone who’s excited to be part of the action when it counts.
We’re a thoughtfully programmed indie theater showing everything from first-run blockbusters to hidden indie gems, and everything in between. It’s a place where locals and visitors gather for great movies, great cocktails, and a truly one-of-a-kind experience.
Must haves:
- Previous experience managing a team (including scheduling and shift coverage)
- Previous experience in hospitality or event planning (other hospitality focused industry)
- Strong communication and proven problem-solving skills
- Comfort with Google Workspace (especially Docs and Sheets)
- Technical proficiency with computers and comfortable with troubleshooting high end systems like our projectors
- A calm, confident presence who can lead by example
- Skilled at conflict resolution (making unhappy guests happy again)
- Familiar with Adobe Suite (Photoshop, InDesign, Premiere)
- Available nights, weekends and holidays
Bonus point:
- Experience with non-linear editing, like Premiere, Final Cut or Davinci Resolve
- A genuine love of movies and shared experiences
What you’ll do:
- Support the GM and senior team in day-to-day operations
- Manage and schedule Concierge staff
- Handle guest needs
- Monitor projection and audio systems to ensure optimal viewing experience and address any technical issues
- Inventory tracking and ordering
- Facilitate venue cleanliness and appearance to ensure a best-in-class experience
- Keeping energy high, service sharp, and the vibe just right
- Assist with onscreen content creation
- Address disruptions within the theater (we take the NO side talking and NO cellphones seriously)
- Manage cash handling and ticketing processes, to ensure accurate financial reporting.
Who should apply:
This is a fantastic opportunity to grow with a brand-new theater and help shape its future. We're looking for a motivated, dependable leader who thrives in a dynamic, guest-focused environment and brings creativity, energy, and a commitment to everything they do. If you love working with people, enjoy the buzz of a busy venue, and are excited to be part of something new and exciting, we’d love to meet you.
