About Us

We're a livehouse — an intimate live music venue dedicated to bringing unforgettable performances to our community. From emerging local acts to touring artists, our stage is where music comes alive. We're looking for a detail-oriented, people-first Assistant Performing Artiste Manager to help us look after the artists who bring our shows to life.

The Role

As Assistant Performing Artiste Manager, you'll support the day-to-day management of performing artistes — from booking and scheduling to hospitality and on-the-ground coordination. You'll be the reliable point of contact that keeps artists comfortable, informed, and ready to deliver a great show.

What You'll Do

• Support the Performing Artiste Manager in coordinating artist schedules, rehearsals, and show-day logistics
• Liaise with artists, bands, agents, and managers on contracts, riders, and performance requirements
• Assist with artist hospitality — greeting artists on arrival, managing green room needs, and ensuring a smooth backstage experience
• Coordinate sound checks, stage timings, and run-of-show details with the production team
• Help prepare and track performance contracts, payment schedules, and artist paperwork
• Maintain and update the artist database, including contacts, availability, and performance history
• Assist in sourcing and shortlisting new performing talent for upcoming shows and events
• Act as an on-site liaison for artists during events, resolving issues quickly and calmly
• Support post-show follow-ups, including feedback collection and relationship maintenance with artists
• Help manage day-of-show logistics such as transport, accommodation, and per diem coordination for touring artists

What We're Looking For

• Minimum 3-5 years of experience in artiste management, event coordination, entertainment, or hospitality (music industry experience a plus)
• Strong organizational skills and comfort juggling multiple moving parts under time pressure
• Excellent interpersonal skills — you're calm, personable, and easy for artists to work with
• Good written and verbal communication skills
• Comfortable working nights/weekends around show schedules
• A genuine passion for live music, performing arts, and artist culture
• Ability to stay composed and solve problems on the fly during live events

Nice to Have

• Existing relationships with local artists, agents, or booking contacts
• Experience with contracts, riders, or basic event budgeting
• Familiarity with scheduling or artist management tools/software

Why Join Us

• Work directly with performing artists and be part of every show from start to finish
• A tight-knit, creative team that lives and breathes music culture
• Hands-on experience and mentorship in artiste and talent management
• Opportunities to grow with an expanding local live music scene
