PIRATE STUDIOS

Pirate Studios is the world's leading provider of rehearsal, DJ and recording facilities with studios in the UK, Ireland, Germany and the USA and exciting plans to expand. This is a rare opportunity to be part of a global team that is building something extraordinary.

About the role:

We're launching an exciting new role at our Bushwick location: Studio Host. As a Studio Host, you’ll be the welcoming face of Pirate for every guest who walks through our doors. Your mission is to deliver an amazing on-site experience, make sure customers feel supported, and keep things running smoothly. If you're passionate about music and people, this is for you.

What you'll be doing:

Every shift is a blend of hospitality, organisation, and music culture. Here’s a snapshot of your role:

• Customer Champion – Greet and check in guests, verify bookings, and help them navigate the space.
• Studio Support – Reset studios between bookings, manage supplies, and help with minor tech issues.
• Ambassador on the Floor – Stay visible and available in the communal areas, offering support and gathering feedback.
• Safety & Security – Monitor CCTV in collaboration with our remote team, report incidents, and ensure safety protocols are followed.
• Clean & Tidy Vibes – Keep our spaces fresh, functional, and welcoming—from the lobby to the studios and everything in between.
• Team Player – Collaborate with the Site Manager and support with maintenance, customer concerns, and marketing events when needed.

What We’re Looking For:

We’re after someone who thrives in a people-first, fast-paced environment. You’ll be confident working solo late at night, but also love chatting with artists, problem-solving on the fly, and being part of something bigger.

Essential Skills and Experience:

• Experience in customer-facing, front of house or concierge roles (hospitality, retail, events, etc.)
• Confident, warm, and approachable — you're the kind of person people feel good around
• Strong multitasker who stays calm under pressure
• Excellent communicator — both spoken and written
• Basic understanding of music gear
• Reliable, responsible, and cool-headed in challenging situations

Desirables:

• Experience with incident reporting or facilities systems
• Familiarity with music spaces, studios, or equipment
• Awareness of Health & Safety standards (or happy to be trained)
• Comfortable assisting with basic tech troubleshooting

Why Join Pirate Studios?

• Be Part of Music Culture – Work where creativity happens, and interact with the next generation of creators.
• Flexible Evening Hours – Perfect for those with daytime commitments.
• Training Provided – We set you up for success from day one.
• Make a Real Impact – This is the first role of its kind in New York — help shape what studio hosting means for our community.

Location: Bushwick, NY
Schedule: 8PM–Midnight (Thurs–Sun), with occasional overtime until 3AM
Hours: 16 hours/week
Pay: $30/hour | $24,960 per year

Every day brings new challenges and opportunities to collaborate, innovate, and make an impact. Alongside these rewarding parts of your role, we offer:

• Free studio hours
• 33 days PTO, increasing to 36 days with length of service (inclusive of federal holidays/ prorated for part-time hours)
• 2 Duvet days – to press the pause button and reset mentally, no questions asked.
• 4 weeks of fully paid sick leave
• Generous parental policies

We are looking to fill this position quickly, so if you’re interested don't delay your application as we will close the job advert when we have sufficient applications.

The position is a non-exempt at-will position and subject to US employment verification.
