We’re here to shake things up to bring our guest experience to the next level–with some flair, and a touch of showmanship. You'll have everything you need to shine - great location? Check. An epic rooftop bar? Best in the city! 200+ piece curated art collection? Yup, but we don't want to brag. We could go on. But we are missing one thing - YOU. What level of creativity, fun, beauty, and inspiration can you bring to the team? Can you match our moxie? We'd love to find out. To learn more, visit thevendue.com.
