Overview (cont.)

Lead the Energy. Set the Vibe. Own the Rooftop. We’re seeking a Rooftop Bar Manager to take the reins of a vibrant, high-energy rooftop bar located atop a sleek, modern hotel in the heart of Midtown Manhattan. This is a hands-on leadership position — perfect for a hospitality professional who thrives on the floor, leads with presence, and knows how to create unforgettable guest experiences from golden hour to last call.

From curated cocktails and stylish design to panoramic city views, this venue blends luxury, nightlife, and bold creativity — and we need a leader who can match the energy.

What We’re Looking For

You’re a bar-savvy leader with a background in polished, high-volume hospitality environments — ideally with experience in corporate-style operations. You know how to build systems, train staff, and keep standards high — but you’re just as comfortable behind the bar or working the floor when the night calls for it. You're driven, charismatic, and ready to shape the rooftop into one of NYC's go-to destinations.

Key Responsibilities

Provide hands-on leadership during service — engaging with guests, supporting staff, and setting the tone each night
Oversee all bar operations, including inventory, ordering, scheduling, and cost control
Recruit, train, and mentor a dynamic team of bartenders, barbacks, and servers
Develop and maintain high standards of guest service and beverage presentation
Partner with hotel leadership on marketing, events, and programming
Manage administrative duties such as payroll, compliance, scheduling, and reporting
Ensure full adherence to DOH, SLA, and internal service standards
Report directly to the Hotel General Manager

Ideal Background

3+ years in a bar or lounge management role in a high-volume, upscale environment
Strong floor presence and ability to lead by example
Excellent knowledge of cocktails, spirits, wine, and bar operations
Experience working in a corporate or hotel setting a major plus
Natural leader with excellent communication, team-building, and organizational skills
Committed to guest satisfaction and creating a memorable atmosphere
