• Support FOH and events team during high-volume moments (water station refresh, trash runs, quick resets, emergency supply pulls) as directed.

Luxury Standards & Problem-Solving

• Proactively identify and correct imperfections (scuffs, stains, wobbling tables, uneven spacing, wrinkled linens, damaged items).
• Report maintenance issues immediately and coordinate with management/engineering/vendor partners when needed.
• Handle special member/client requests professionally—communicating changes clearly to the Events team and Manager on Duty.

Organization & Inventory Care

• Keep event storage, linen areas, and equipment rooms organized, labeled, and “inspection-ready.”
• Assist with counts, restocking, and careful handling of club assets to prevent loss or damage.

Safety & Professional Conduct

• Every room is BEO-perfect, photo-ready, and set on time.
• Resets happen quickly with zero disruption to member experience.
• Storage areas are clean, organized, and equipment is treated like luxury assets.
• Communication is proactive—issues are surfaced early and solved fast.
• All other duties as assigned by leadership are completed efficiently.

Gravitas is built on elevated hospitality, discretion, and operational excellence. Housemen are trusted to protect the member experience by executing with urgency, precision, and pride—quietly delivering the behind-the-scenes excellence that makes service feel effortless.

Requirements

• Clear communication and a team-first mindset; ability to take direction and anticipate needs.
• Comfort working in a fast-paced, service-forward environment with high standards and frequent pivots.
