We are seeking experienced, hospitality-driven Cocktail Servers to join our award-winning portfolio in New York City, including Carversteak, Rosevale Cocktail Room, and Starchild Rooftop, all located within the iconic Civilian Hotel. This is more than a role it is an opportunity to become part of a storytelling-driven hospitality experience, where every cocktail, every interaction, and every detail contributes to something far greater than service alone.

Our Cocktail Server's are not only technically skilled, but intuitive hosts - individuals who understand how to read a room, anticipate guest needs, and deliver moments that feel both personal and unforgettable. From curated cocktail programs to high-touch guest engagement, you will play an integral role in shaping the atmosphere and defining the experience across each concept.
This is an opportunity to work alongside award-winning chefs, beverage leaders, and a team that is deeply committed to excellence, growth, and innovation within the hospitality space. If you are passionate about your craft, thrive in a fast-paced, high-performance environment, and are driven to be part of something truly special in New York City, we invite you to join us in setting a new standard for modern luxury hospitality.
