GRAFF LAB STUDIO

is a fast-growing creative events company where art, music, culture, events, and high energy collide. One day you may help lead a packed birthday party. The next, you're managing a graffiti workshop, school program, camp, corporate team-building event, or special activation. We're looking for more than someone who can work a shift. We're looking for someone who can help run a studio. This position is designed for a strong leader who can take ownership, manage people, solve problems, maintain high standards, and create an incredible customer experience. You don't need to be a professional artist. You do need to be dependable, organized, confident with people, and ready to lead. For the right person, this role is intended to become a pathway to Studio Manager as

GRAFF LAB STUDIO

continues to grow. What You'll Be Responsible For As an Assistant Studio Manager, you'll work alongside studio leadership to keep the location operating at a high level.

Your responsibilities will include:

Leading staff during parties, workshops, camps, and events Helping manage daily studio operations Opening and closing the studio when assigned Making sure events start on time and are properly staffed and prepared Assigning responsibilities and holding team members accountable Maintaining excellent customer service standards Handling customer questions and resolving issues professionally Training, coaching, and motivating team members Supporting employee scheduling and event coordination Monitoring supplies and communicating inventory needs Maintaining studio cleanliness, organization, and presentation Making sure staff follow company procedures and studio standards Problem-solving in real time when things don't go according to plan Communicating important issues and updates to management Helping build a positive, energetic, accountable team culture Stepping in wherever needed to keep the studio running smoothly What Management Means Here We don't believe management means standing around telling people what to do. Our managers set the pace. You'll be expected to notice problems before someone asks you to fix them, communicate clearly with your team, stay composed during busy events, and take ownership of the customer experience. When the studio gets busy, you're the person helping bring structure to the chaos. We're looking for someone who can eventually be trusted to run a successful shift — and ultimately a successful studio — without constant supervision. Who We're Looking For We care more about your leadership ability and mindset than whether you have an art background.

Reliable and punctual Naturally proactive Comfortable leading a team Organized and detail-oriented Strong communicators Confident working with both kids and adults Calm under pressure Comfortable giving direction and feedback Customer-focused Positive but professional Able to make decisions and solve problems Willing to jump in and help rather than saying, "That's not my job" Interested in growing into greater responsibility Experience in any of the following is a major plus: Hospitality Restaurants Event management Camps Fitness studios Retail leadership Childcare Education Customer service Team management Entertainment or experiential businesses
