About The Position

The June is seeking a creative, well-connected, and highly organized Programming & Strategic Partnerships Manager to build the calendar of experiences that define life inside the club, and the outside relationships that make that programming possible. This is a dual mandate: you'll source, curate, and produce the ongoing rhythm of dinners, DJ nights, speaker series, and curated evenings that keep members coming back, while also identifying and securing the brand, cultural, and community partnerships that elevate The June's presence and expand what's possible on our calendar. The ideal candidate has a strong point of view on culture, food, music, and design; a deep and active network; and the operational discipline to turn ideas into a fully realized, member-worthy calendar month after month.
