Night life Lead

About the Role

KYN is building the operating layer for city experiences from concerts and workshops to nightlife and micro-communities (tribes). We are now launching a dedicated Nightlife Category to work with leading restobars and venues to drive events, table bookings, loyalty programs, and repeat footfall.

This role is for someone who can build a business vertical from scratch not just manage events. You will own partnerships, monetization, and P&L for a cluster of venues.

Think of this as running a mini-startup inside KYN.

You will launch and scale KYNs nightlife business across partner restobars.

1 Venue Partnerships

• Identify and onboard 5+ restobars in Phase 1
• Structure commercial agreements with venues
• Understand venue economics (alcohol revenue, table spends, footfall patterns)

2 Event Monetization Models

Execute multiple ways of working with venues:

• KYN Marquee Events (New Years, Valentines, themed nights, etc.)
• 3rd Party Events (external promoters using KYN ticketing & marketing)
• Restobar-funded Events (events run using venue marketing budgets)
• Table booking offers & discounts
• Loyalty / Subscription / Tribe-based engagement via KYN App

3 Revenue & P&L Ownership

You will be responsible for:

• Ticketing commissions
• Event organizing fees
• Table booking revenues
• SaaS / loyalty / customer insights fees

You will track:

• Event performance
• Venue-wise revenue
• Marketing spends
• Break-even and profitability

4 Execution & Operations

• Coordinate with promoters, DJs, artists, and event partners
• Ensure events go live smoothly on-ground
• Manage event calendar across venues
• Work with marketing team on promotions

5 Retention & Community Building

• Build repeat audience pools (tribes)
• Use data from events and bookings to improve footfall
• Launch loyalty/subscription concepts with venues

It is for someone who thinks like:

• Understand how restobars make money (tables, covers, alcohol margins)
• Are comfortable negotiating with venue owners and promoters
• Can work nights and weekends when required
• Are strong with numbers and P&L thinking
• Are highly execution-focused and street-smart
• Can manage multiple venues at once

What Success Looks Like (First 36 Months)

• 5+ restobar partnerships activated
• Regular ticketed events running across venues
• Table booking pipeline live
• At least one marquee KYN-led nightlife event executed
• Clear revenue dashboard for the category
• Loyalty / repeat audience systems started

What Youll Learn

• How to build a category from zero
• Venue economics & nightlife business mechanics
• Multi-stream monetization models
• Community-led retention in nightlife
• Running P&L inside a fast-growing platform

Compensation

• Fixed salary
• Performance incentives linked to revenue
