• Administrative Support: Build detailed show info sheets, manage ticketing scanners, coordinate student usher event schedules, and evaluate front-of-house procedures to suggest creative process improvements.

• Team Leadership & Mentorship: Supervise and guide the student usher staff on a per-show basis, fostering a supportive, inclusive, and professional growth environment for student workers.

• Accessibility & Safety: Coordinate venue accessibility layouts for patrons, ensure compliance with ADA standards, manage facility safety regulations, and safely secure facilities before and after events.
  

Required Qualifications:

• Three to five years of experience in a guest experience or front-of-house role within a performing arts or theater environment, including some supervisory experience.

• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with a high level of diplomacy when interacting with touring personnel, promoters, and the public.

• Outstanding organizational skills and the ability to remain calm, focused, and solution-oriented under pressure.

• Tech-savviness, with proficiency in Google Suite/Microsoft Office and a strong interest in learning event systems (such as Smartsheet, Etix, FileMaker, or When-to-Work).

• Absolute flexibility to work a seasonal schedule consisting of nights, weekends, and holidays dictated by the college's exciting academic performance calendar.
