Reporting to the Director of Fan Experience, the Fan Experience Manager serves as a key leader in delivering the Hall’s day-to-day guest experience by leading the team, setting the tone for hospitality excellence, and owning operational outcomes across assigned specialty areas.
Fan Experience Managers operate with elevated autonomy and direct accountability, serving as the primary day-to-day leaders for the Fan Experience department. Each manager owns a primary specialty area and carries rotating Manager on Duty (MOD) responsibilities based on operational need. While each manager leads and owns their specialty, the department is intentionally designed for fluidity. Managers are expected to actively support one another across all specialty areas and may transition between specialties over time to build collective depth, shared expertise, and the versatility to lead across the full fan experience. The ideal candidate is self-motivated, enthusiastic, and possesses an outgoing, guest-focused approach. This individual is someone who acts with sportsmanship, leads from the front, and makes game-changing plays for the fans and team members they serve.
We hold ourselves to the highest standard of guest experience excellence - the kind found in the world's most admired hospitality, entertainment, and service organizations. Our Fan Experience Managers are expected to bring that same intentionality, warmth, and care to every interaction at the Hall.
