24 Carrots Catering and Events
Costa Mesa, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 4/17/2026

About 24 Carrots

We are a full-service, employee-owned, experiential caterer and hospitality group, committed to creating remarkable experiences for our clients while fostering a collaborative, engaged, and empowered workforce.

Job Summary

As an ideal candidate, you are a natural leader with a passion for hospitality and a high standard for service excellence. You thrive in dynamic, fast-paced environments and have a proven ability to lead, coach, and develop a team. You are organized, solutions-oriented, and deeply committed to delivering consistent, professional experiences. You can move seamlessly between planning and execution just as comfortable in a BEO meeting as you are leading a team on-site.

As a Service Manager, you are the operational backbone of our front-of-house service team. You are responsible for overseeing event execution, developing Leads and Service Staff, and ensuring every event meets 24 Carrots' standards from start to finish. You serve as the on-site supervisory leader for assigned events, coaching in real time and holding the team accountable to the highest level of performance.

This is a hybrid role that balances in-office collaboration with strong on-site presence dividing time between planning sessions, field oversight, and leading select events as needed. You will work in close partnership with the Senior Manager of Hospitality Training & Operations to support lead development, reinforce training initiatives, and drive a culture of accountability and service excellence.

If this sounds like you, we encourage you to apply!
