I’m looking for a curious, resourceful, organized person to work directly with me as we expand Metro Private Cinema.
I’m Tim League, co-founder of Alamo Drafthouse, Mondo, Mutant, Fantastic Fest, NEON, and most recently, Metro Private Cinema. Metro combines private cinema suites with exceptional food, drinks, and hospitality. Our first location is open in New York, and we’re building Metro #2 at the historic Baker School in Austin, Texas.
We’re a small team, so this role involves a little bit of everything: executive support, marketing, social media, film booking, and helping coordinate the construction and opening of our Austin location. Some days will involve creative work and research. Others will involve spreadsheets, scheduling, project follow-up, or heading to the construction site to help solve a problem.
What you’ll do
- Help manage my calendar and daily priorities.
- Assist with Metro’s marketing, email campaigns, and social media.
- Support film booking, programming research, and distributor communications.
- Track projects, organize information, and follow through on outstanding tasks.
- Help coordinate vendors, purchases, and logistics for the Metro Austin construction project
- Jump into new projects and handle the practical details that keep a small business moving.
Who you are
First off, you love movies and are excited about helping grow an innovative cinema brand. You must live in Austin, Texas. You’re organized, dependable, tech savvy, and comfortable figuring things out. You write clearly, pay attention to details, and follow through. You’re excited to contribute ideas and equally willing to tackle routine work.
Ideally, you bring some experience in marketing and social media, a working knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite, and confidence with Excel. You don’t need to arrive knowing how to do everything, but you do need curiosity, initiative, and a willingness to learn.
What you’ll learn
You’ll work closely with me, learn the ropes of building and operating a business, develop new skills, and take on challenges in unfamiliar areas. As you grow, you’ll have opportunities to take on more responsibility.
Past assistants have gone on to become CEO of Mutant Industries and VP of Global Content Acquisition at Chroma. I’m looking for someone with drive, intelligence, and a serious work ethic, and I want this role to help lay the groundwork for great things ahead.
