General Manager, Mitsi

This concept is confidently understated and quietly powerful, aiming to redefine the tone of nightlife in Los Angeles. In a city often dominated by nostalgia, ego, and exclusivity, we’re carving out space for something more grounded—something that reflects what LA is and is becoming.

There’s no velvet rope, no performative hospitality—just sharp execution, intelligent energy, and a modern approach to timeless classics. Our drinks are rooted in the familiar but reimagined with subtle twists and quiet edge. We don’t chase trends or replicate the past—we create experiences for those shaping LA’s present and future

As General Manager, you’re not just running a room—you’re setting the tone, managing the business, and bringing the brand to life every night. This is a hands‑on leadership role for someone who moves fluidly between service and strategy. You’ll oversee the guest experience, lead the front‑of‑house team, manage bar operations, and work closely with the Senior General Manager to gain fluency in the financial side of the business.

You’ll also partner with a lead host who manages the guest list and pacing, but you’ll play an active role in shaping the feel of the space—ensuring the cocktail lounge continues to attract a vibrant, thoughtful, and creatively minded crowd aligned with its spirit.
