Elysian Bar in the Marigny seeking an Assistant General Manager

We are looking for an energetic and passionate Assistant General Manager (AGM) to support the General Manager in the daily operations at The Elysian Bar.

Inspired by the city’s Marigny neighborhood, The Elysian Bar is a beautiful public space, bar, and restaurant. Guests and locals can enjoy the offerings in the heart of the hotel: the former parlors, the little glass atrium, the iconic, “jewel box” bar, and a lush outdoor courtyard ringed by the church bell towers.

A successful candidate is a “creative problem solver”. To be a successful Assistant General Manager, you should eagerly participate in educational and training opportunities.

The AGM must be able to motivate and positively influence staff. A top candidate for this position must have strong leadership and organizational skills. The AGM should be firm, but also approachable.

We take hospitality seriously and expect all of our staff to have a genuine love of people and a serious passion for dining. This is truly a team environment with no barrier between “front” and “back” of the house so the ideal candidate is a natural leader who is capable of managing a team with kindness, respect, and accountability.

Current relationships with New Orleans wine/liquor vendors are a plus.
