El Gaucho Portland hosts are the first and last impression of the restaurant, and we take that role to heart. We are looking for warm, energetic professionals who lead with genuine hospitality and take real pride in making every guest feel welcome, seen, and cared for.
Hospitality is the heart of everything we do. From the moment a guest walks through the door to the moment they leave, you set the tone for their entire evening.

If you are a polished, positive professional with a heart for hospitality, we would love to hear from you.

Competitive wages, growth potential toward Lead Host, family meals, employee dining discount, medical/dental/vision (25 hours per week), sick pay, pet insurance, 401k with employer match (after one year of service), and the Employee Assistance Program available to all employees.
