A Typical Day as a Event Builder

We strive to provide the ultimate experience for every guest in our care

• Setting the Scene Everything beautiful, safe, and appealing through the Event Center. You’ll receive hands-on training, orientation of all spaces, and a mentor colleague to guide you in your earliest days with us. You’ll be responsible for following BEO Setup instructions and ensuring that all events are set up according to exactly what the guest requests.
• Then Making it Disappear Each What goes up, must also come down. After the completion of events, you'll be responsible for upholding KAJ's high standards of cleanliness and organization. On the reverse side of setup is teardown when the revelry ends.
• A Team of Spirit Makers One of the best parts about this role is working with colleagues who share your passion, drive, and commitment to service. While many times you manage the bar area on your own, you'll work closely with other departments and together, make a lasting impression with the guests about the space, the people, and their experience through food and beverage.
• Helpful, with a Side of Hustle There’s never a dull moment in this role, as you are on your feet and moving most of the time. You’ll log steps and maintain your physical health by actively moving up to eight hours per day and sometimes lifting up to 60 pounds. You and your teammates will consistently support each other to lend a hand as needed to ensure we’re delivering the KAJ experience every day, with every guest.

KAJ is for day makers, time takers, and big picture see-ers. By fostering a sense of family, comfort, and ritual, we’re inspiring our guests to achieve whatever they face when they leave our lobbies. KAJ communities are dynamic and built for people who thrive on delivering great experiences. While KAJ is a revenue and reviews-based business, we’re more into relationships. People over all else. We’re a “yes and”-type organization, indefinitely.
