Events & Experiences Manager

The MINA Group
Washington, DC Full Time
POSTED ON 10/1/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 10/25/2025
Acqua Bistecca is a restaurant where wood-fired steaks and pristine local seafood take center stage, all through the lens of refined Italian influence. The menu reflects a balance of land and sea—’ACQUA’ and ‘BISTECCA’—celebrating the bounty of the mid-Atlantic and the warmth of the grill. From simply grilled local Chesapeake tile Fish to delicately charred steak brushed in red Lambrusco butter, each dish is rooted in tradition yet reimagined with elevated, modern touches.
  About the Role

At Mina Group, we believe that a restaurant is more than a place to dine — it’s a stage for unforgettable experiences. The Restaurant Events & Experiences Manager plays a critical role in bringing that vision to life. This position is responsible for curating and converting high-value guest opportunities — from VIP bookings and large parties to on-site activations, brand partnerships, and community outreach. Working closely with the General Manager and the Revenue & Relevance team, this leader ensures our dining rooms are filled with the right guests, the right energy, and the right experiences to maximize both visibility and profitability.

This is a dynamic, cross-functional role that requires equal parts strategy, stamina, and floor presence. You’ll own the large-party and private dining pipeline, lead marketing activations, and elevate every guest interaction with creativity, confidence, and poise.

What We Offer
  • Competitive salary 3% commission on event sales
  • Health, dental, and vision benefits
  • Paid time off and company holidays
  • Dining privileges across the Mina Group portfolio
  • Career growth and leadership development opportunities
  • A culture of innovation, mentorship, and excellence in hospitality
Our Ideal Candidate is:

Fearless when it comes to building relationships with tastemakers, concierges, and high-value guests. You thrive in fast-paced, high-pressure environments, and you bring energy and stamina to every service. You have a sharp business mind with a hospitality heart — able to balance revenue goals with unforgettable guest experiences. Whether it’s turning a simple booking into a memorable event, designing a new activation, or welcoming a VIP on a packed evening, you are ready to lead with confidence, creativity, and grace.

What you bring to the table:
