BOOKINGS MANAGER - GRINDSTONE THEATRE SOCIETY
Job Description:​
Grindstone Theatre Society is seeking a motivated, self-directed, and results-driven individual to lead our Venues Department.
This position is responsible for maximizing venue utilization, driving booking and ticketing revenue, developing new business opportunities, and ensuring the successful coordination of events across Grindstone's venues.
The Bookings Manager plays a central role in the organization's financial sustainability by focusing on two key priorities: maintaining full, productive venue calendars and maximizing attendance at booked events.
Serving as the primary point of contact for clients, internal teams, and prospective partners, the manager oversees the full booking process, builds strong client relationships, actively pursues new rental and presenting opportunities, and identifies programming partnerships that increase venue activity and revenue. As the department leader, this position supervises bookings and ticketing staff, establishes sales targets, monitors booking and attendance performance, and ensures effective departmental workflows and communication.
The manager collaborates closely with Technical, Front of House, Education, Marketing, Artistic Programming, Finance, and Executive teams to ensure events are well coordinated, effectively promoted, and financially successful. The position also contributes to strategic planning, venue pricing, departmental policies and procedures, operational improvements, and key performance indicator (KPI) development.
Success in this role is measured not simply by the number of bookings secured, but by how effectively Grindstone's venues are utilized, how well events are attended, and how strongly the Venues Department contributes to the organization's artistic mission and financial sustainability.
