Manager In Training - Dania Pointe

LIVE THE ISLAND LIFE

In 2016, we launched our first Marlin Bar in Coconut Point, Florida as a laid back space where locals and travelers could gather casually over food and drink. Two years later, a second oasis opened its doors in the mecca of mid-century modernism: Palm Springs, California. Since our guests are asking us for more, we are adding several throughout the United States over the next few years (and beyond). The Marlin Bar is the perfect spot to enjoy frozen cocktails, light fare or organic soft-serve ice cream where friendly service and casual vibe are always the catch of the day.

SET THE COURSE

The Marlin Bar is a relaxed refuge, where our guest can unwind with a cocktail, light fare, and simultaneously enjoy some retail therapy.

The Marlin Bar Manager in Training is a temporary assignment from several weeks to several months and will shadow the Marlin Bar General Manager focusing on both retail and hospitality operations. This is a training role with the intention of training team members for potential future openings (which may require location to another Marlin Bar location within the U.S.). Serving in this temporary role is not guarantee that an individual will receive a General Manager position.
