Resident DJ – The St. Regis Downtown Dubai

POSITION SUMMARY

The St. Regis Downtown Dubai is seeking a charismatic and musically versatile Resident DJ to elevate the ambiance across its signature restaurants and lounges. The ideal candidate will bring a refined musical sensibility, aligning with the brand’s luxury positioning while creating vibrant, memorable experiences for our discerning guests. This role requires a deep understanding of mood-setting, guest engagement, and seamless integration of music into the dining journey.

No matter what position you are in, there are a few things that are critical to success – creating a safe workplace, following company policies and procedures, upholding quality standards, and ensuring your uniform, personal appearance, and communications are professional. Our Experts will be on their feet and moving around (stand, sit, or walk for an extended time; moving over sloping, uneven, or slippery surfaces), managing the menu (read and visually verify information), and taking a hands-on approach to work (move, lift, carry, push, pull, and place objects weighing less than or equal to 25 pounds without assistance and 50 pounds with assistance; reach overhead and below the knees, including bending, twisting, pulling, and stooping). Doing all these things well (and other reasonable job duties as requested) is critical for Guest Service Support Experts – to get it right for our guests and our business each and every time.
