Events & Experiences Manager

About the Role

At Mina Group, we believe that a restaurant is more than a place to dine — it’s a stage for unforgettable experiences. The Restaurant Events & Experiences Manager plays a critical role in bringing that vision to life. This position is responsible for curating and converting high-value guest opportunities — from VIP bookings and large parties to on-site activations, brand partnerships, and community outreach. Working closely with the General Manager and the Revenue & Relevance team, this leader ensures our dining rooms are filled with the right guests, the right energy, and the right experiences to maximize both visibility and profitability.

This is a dynamic, cross-functional role that requires equal parts strategy, stamina, and floor presence. You’ll own the large-party and private dining pipeline, lead marketing activations, and elevate every guest interaction with creativity, confidence, and poise.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary + 2% commission on event sales
• Health, dental, and vision benefits
• Paid time off and company holidays
• Dining privileges across the Mina Group portfolio
• Career growth and leadership development opportunities
• A culture of innovation, mentorship, and excellence in hospitality

You thrive in fast-paced, high-pressure environments, and you bring energy and stamina to every service.

Whether it’s turning a simple booking into a memorable event, designing a new activation, or welcoming a VIP on a packed evening, you are ready to lead with confidence, creativity, and grace.
