About The Ned

The Ned and Ned’s Club are a global collection of hotels, clubs, spas, and restaurants for like-minded individuals to meet, work and have a good time.


The Ned launched in 2017 in the heart of the City, in the former Midland Bank headquarters. The Ned City of London houses Ned’s Club - a private members’ space, gym and rooftop - alongside a public spa, ten restaurants and bars and 250 hotel bedrooms.


Reporting into the Sound and Production Manager, you will:

  • Provide live sound engineering for any of the shows in The Nickel stage, The Parlour, or at a membership event
  • The Ned is a 100-year-old building and was originally designed as a bank, not a live music and entertainment venue, but you’ll make sure every performance feels like the room was made for it
  • Set up backline and PA systems for events, including managing sound checks
  • Be a point of contact for musicians on site at The Ned
  • Represent The Ned and assist freelance staff covering lighting or audio, including making sure health and safety guidelines are being followed
  • Protect our equipment by maintaining great working practices and doing general housekeeping of your storage areas

  • At least 3 years of relevant industry experience is preferred

  • Some of our performers are very high profile, so a degree of professionalism and confidentiality are essential
  • You’ll assist the sound and production manager with admin and organisation tasks, so analytical, problem solving, and communication skills are all needed
  • Any related skills, such as lighting experience, would be advantageous but not essential


What The Ned can give you:

  • Salary of up to £30,000 per year
  • Complimentary meals in our friendly team restaurant, Neddy’s including monthly payday breakfast
  • Exciting learning and development programmes to help progress your career
  • Exclusive rates at The Ned for staying and eating for you, your family and friends

  • Reward and recognition initiatives


At The Ned, we don't just celebrate our diversity, we challenge ourselves to do even better. The Ned is committed to being the best place to work, and ensuring that we have a leading diversity, equity and inclusion programme is central to making that vision a reality.
