Head of Intelligent Leisure & Programming Production

520 Fifth Ave, NY NY 10036

JOIN US...

Upstairs, our clubhouse is dedicated to Intelligent Leisure, with three floors of dining, cultural programming, and spaces for our members to spend their free time intentionally and well. From our traditional sit-down restaurant to the vinyl listening room, there’s a little something special for every personality. Down at Bedrock, the club’s fitness and wellness destination, we’ve cultivated a hub of Physical Culture–two levels of premium gym facilities, aquatics, spa, and recovery experiences. Together, Moss and Bedrock create a holistic environment where members can move, restore, and connect in a refined, community-focused setting.

Intelligent Leisure is a foundational pillar of the Moss New York membership experience. It serves as the intellectual and cultural engine of the Club—convening ideas, people, and experiences that deepen member engagement, strengthen community, and differentiate Moss in the private club landscape. 

The Head of Intelligent Leisure & Programming Production is responsible for setting the strategy, curating the content, and leading the execution of Moss’s intellectual and cultural programming. This role blends cultural fluency, programming judgment, member instinct, and production rigor. It is accountable for ensuring that Intelligent Leisure meaningfully contributes to membership value, engagement, retention, and Moss’s broader brand positioning. 

This is a senior leadership role. It is not primarily a hosting, editorial, or social role—though all three are components of success. Ownership, judgment, follow-through, and operational excellence are paramount. 

This position reports directly to the Co-Founders of Moss New York.

 

COMPENSATION:

The salary wage for this position is $130,000 - $150,000 per year, depending on experience.

  • Ensure deadlines, budgets, run-of-show timelines, and follow-up actions are consistently met.
  • Communicate clearly with leadership on programming performance, key learnings, and recommended adjustments.
  • Continuously refine programming strategy and execution based on data, feedback, and organizational priorities.
