ABOUT GAIN MOMENTUM
Gain Momentum is a training and operations platform working behind the scenes of nightlife, festivals and cultural events. We bring education, practical experience and a community of event professionals together. Our goal is to strengthen the people who keep events running. We believe good work starts with good preparation. That's why we invest in training, clear communication and giving our crew the knowledge and tools to work with confidence.

THE ROLE

A good club night is about more than what's happening on stage or behind the decks. Behind every event is a team making sure visitors feel welcome, spaces remain safe and the operation runs smoothly.  We're looking for people to join our allround club crew, supporting different venues and events across Amsterdam.

As an Allround Club Crew Member, you're one of the people keeping things moving on the floor. You're approachable, observant and ready to step in when needed. No two shifts are exactly the same, but your responsibility remains the same: contribute to a safe, welcoming and well-organised event.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Depending on the venue and assignment, your responsibilities may include:

• Welcoming visitors and providing information or assistance
• Supporting entrance, ticket scanning and cloakroom operations
• Monitoring visitor flow and keeping entrances, exits and walkways accessible
• Keeping public areas clean, organised and presentable
• Identifying unsafe situations and informing the appropriate team
• Working alongside venue management, security, awareness and other event staff
• Supporting opening, closing and general club operations
• Following venue procedures and reporting relevant incidents

You are not expected to solve everything yourself. Knowing when to involve the right person is part of doing your job well.

WHO ARE YOU?

You don't need years of experience, but you do need a professional attitude.

• Reliable, punctual and prepared
• Friendly, approachable and respectful
• Calm and solution-oriented under pressure
• Aware of your surroundings and the people around you
• Comfortable working independently and within a team
• Clear and professional in communication
• Open to feedback and willing to develop
• Available for evenings, nights and weekends

Professionalism is part of the job. You arrive ready to work, stay sober during your shift and follow the venue's rules and procedures.

HOW WE WORK

At Gain Momentum, preparation and communication are part of every assignment.  Before your shift, you're expected to read your briefing, familiarise yourself with the event and venue, and make sure you understand your responsibilities. On arrival, you report to the designated manager or coordinator. During your shift, you communicate clearly, follow agreed procedures and ask for support when necessary. Before leaving, you check out with your manager, confirm your working hours and breaks, and share relevant feedback.

WHAT WE OFFER

• Flexible freelance assignments within nightlife and cultural events
• Access to the GM digital learning environment, including checklists, shift preparation tools, briefings and practical resources
• Guidance and support from experienced event professionals
• Opportunities to develop your skills through training and practical experience
• Clear communication and defined responsibilities
• A professional crew community that values teamwork and personal development
• Opportunities to grow towards coordination, stage management or other event roles

JOIN OUR CREW

Whether you're new to the event industry or already experienced on the floor, we're interested in people who take their work seriously and want to keep learning.

ABOUT GAIN MOMENTUM
Gain Momentum brings education, operations and community together within the event industry. We work behind the scenes of clubs, festivals and cultural productions, supporting the people who make events happen. Our approach is built around preparation, practical knowledge and professional teamwork. We want our crew to understand not only what they're doing, but also why it matters.

THE ROLE

A busy bar needs more than people who can pour drinks. It needs a team that communicates, keeps an overview and looks after visitors and colleagues, even when the pressure rises. We're expanding our hospitality crew and looking for people who enjoy working in nightlife and take pride in good service. As part of our bar crew, you contribute to a welcoming atmosphere while keeping the operation organised, efficient and safe.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Prepare and organise your bar station before opening
• Serve drinks efficiently, accurately and with a welcoming attitude
• Handle payments and follow venue procedures
• Keep your workstation clean, stocked and organised
• Monitor supplies and communicate shortages in time
• Follow hygiene, food safety and responsible alcohol service procedures
• Recognise situations where visitors may need assistance
• Work closely with bartenders, bar supervisors, floor crew and venue management
• Support opening, closing, cleaning and handover procedures
• Communicate operational issues and incidents to the appropriate manager

Good service isn't just about speed. It's about consistency, awareness and teamwork.

WHO YOU ARE

• Friendly, service-minded and approachable
• Reliable, punctual and responsible
• Comfortable working in busy nightlife environments
• Able to stay organised and focused under pressure
• Clear in communication and attentive to your surroundings
• A team player who supports colleagues when needed
• Professional in appearance and behaviour
• Available for evenings, nights and weekends
• Open to learning and receiving feedback

Previous bar or hospitality experience is an advantage. For suitable entry-level assignments, we also welcome motivated people who want to develop their skills.

HOW WE WORK

We believe good preparation creates better shifts. Before every assignment, you review the event briefing, venue information and relevant procedures. You arrive on time, ready to work and familiar with the expectations of your role. During your shift, you work sober, follow responsible service procedures and communicate with your supervisor when something needs attention. You don't leave your workstation without arranging a proper handover. At the end of your shift, you check out with the manager, confirm your hours and breaks, and share relevant feedback.

WHAT WE OFFER

• Flexible freelance assignments at clubs and events
• Access to the GM digital learning environment, with checklists, briefings, guidelines and preparation tools
• Opportunities to improve your hospitality and bar skills
• Practical guidance and feedback
• Clear responsibilities and an operational point of contact
• A professional, supportive crew community
• Opportunities to develop towards more independent or coordinating roles

JOIN OUR CREW

We're looking for people who enjoy the energy of nightlife while taking responsibility for the work behind it.
