Job Description

Title: Guest Experience Lead at Pearl Street Warehouse

 

Role Summary:


You are the opening act. At Pearl Street Warehouse, the experience doesn’t start on stage—it starts with our Guest Experience Lead. You create the first spark of energy the moment someone approaches the door, turning a simple arrival into something people feel.

You’re equal parts host, vibe-setter, and deal-closer. You welcome people in, guide them through the space, and make it all feel effortless while actively driving business. You know how to read energy, build momentum, and turn foot traffic into a full house.

This isn’t about checking tickets. It’s about creating a moment people remember—and making sure they stay for more.
