Job Description
Dinner Lab is a membership-based dinner club that provides a platform for up-and-coming chefs to create their ideal menu for one evening. We have two dinners a week—each with a different chef, menu, and location. We remove the trappings of the traditional restaurant and strip back the dining experience to its most raw and essential form through three key ingredients:
We are all about connecting diners with local chefs, companies we admire, and places we love to create a community that shares the common bond of food and drink.
Our organization is expanding quickly; we are actively searching for team members who will grow with us and continue to provide unique dining experiences for our guests.

Dinner Lab is looking for a Market Manager in Nashville to engage with the local market, and drive event and membership sales. This person will work closely with the local Event Manager and Chef de Cuisine, as well as our corporate Membership Relations team to manage member engagement and sales in the Dinner Lab Nashville market.
We want someone who is willing to throw themselves into the mix and get their hands dirty, and ensure that we have a critical mass of members in each market. Multi-tasking is a MUST. There are a million moving parts that need to be juggled—with professionalism, excitement, and passion—in order to achieve the best results for our members, our staff, and our company. You’ll need to be a fast learner, quick on your feet, and an impeccable problem solver.
Dinner Lab is a fast moving, ambitious start up, that requires hard work and dedication. We sell an experience that only happens once, and you need to be able to deal with an ever-changing catalog of chefs from all over the country, foodies who have an incredibly high bar for new experiences and cuisines, and a management team that is crazy about improving our guest experience every day.
