Rehearsal Studio Operations

Rehearsal Studio Operations (Midtown West)

compensation: To be determined depending on experience

employment type: part-time

job title: Rehearsal Studio Operations

We’re seeking a versatile and motivated Live Sound Engineer to join our team. This is a dynamic, hands-on role that goes far beyond just running a soundboard. You’ll be the bridge between musicians and the studio, ensuring sessions run smoothly from start to finish — both technically and operationally.

In this role, you’ll work directly with artists to deliver high-quality live sound, while also MANAGING FRONT DESK RESPONSIBILITIES, bookings, payments, and general upkeep of the studio space. It’s a perfect opportunity for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, loves solving problems on the fly, and wants to stay deeply connected to NYC’s music community.

If you're comfortable balancing tech work with customer service, can keep calm under pressure, and genuinely enjoy supporting musicians, you'll excel here. You won’t be sitting still — you'll be mixing, scheduling, fixing, cleaning, and creating a great experience for everyone who walks through our doors.

Core Responsibilities

Live Sound & Technical Setup

-Operate and manage analog and digital mixing boards during live rehearsals.
-Set up and test audio equipment (microphones, monitors, DI boxes, cables, amps, etc.).
-Monitor and adjust sound levels in real time to meet the needs of musicians.
-Understand and implement proper audio signal flow and stage layout for different setups.
-Collaborate with artists to understand their sound preferences and deliver tailored mixes.

Front Desk & Client Interaction

-Act as the first point of contact for clients—both in person and via phone/email.
-Use booking software to manage and coordinate appointments.
-Confirm sessions, prevent scheduling conflicts, and maintain an organized calendar.
-Process client payments (cash, card, and online), handle walk-ins, and keep accurate transaction records.
-Respond to client inquiries with a helpful, professional, and upbeat attitude.

Maintenance & Facility Support

-Maintain cleanliness of all studio spaces, including bathrooms and common areas.

- Preference given to candidates with mechanical/technical skills, including amp and pedal repair, soldering, and basic equipment.
-Perform handyman tasks (e.g., replacing light bulbs, securing loose cables, organizing gear).
-Conduct regular checks on equipment and studio spaces to ensure functionality and safety.
-Report or resolve any technical or facility-related issues promptly.

Required Skills & Qualifications

-Live sound experience is non-negotiable: you must have hands-on experience running live sound in a studio, rehearsal, or performance setting.
-Proficiency in operating both analog and digital mixing boards is essential.
-Solid understanding of live sound equipment and troubleshooting.
-Computer proficiency is a must (Google Workspace, booking systems, Sheets, Word, Excel).
-Ability to multitask under pressure, especially during peak studio hours.
-Strong interpersonal skills—you're just as comfortable helping a rock band check in as you are troubleshooting gear for a jazz band.
-Strong work ethic and attention to detail, especially with time management, client service, and cleanliness.
-Comfortable doing physical tasks: lifting gear, cleaning, organizing equipment.
-Reliable and punctual—we depend on every team member to keep operations running smoothly.
-Must be available to work PM shifts and both Saturday and Sunday.

What We Offer

-A vibrant, creative work environment where music is central to everything we do.
-Opportunities to connect and collaborate with NYC’s diverse music community.
-Hands-on experience with a wide range of gear and setups.
-The chance to learn and grow in both technical and operational aspects of live sound.

Please Note

-THIS IS A REHEARSAL AND LIVE SOUND FACILITY, NOT A RECORDING STUDIO. THIS ROLE DOES NOT INVOLVE RECORDING, PRODUCING, OR MIXING RECORDED MATERIAL.
-It’s a multifaceted, customer-facing role that requires energy, flexibility, and initiative.
-We are not considering candidates without prior sound engineering experience.
-We are not considering anyone unavailable for weekends and PM shifts.
-All staff are responsible for maintaining cleanliness in the studio.

To Apply

Please send your resume along with 3 references. Applications without both will not be considered. If we feel you’re a good fit, we’ll reach out to schedule an interview.
