About Kirkendoll Management
Kirkendoll Management (KM) is a boutique hospitality management company that owns and operates restaurants and gentlemen’s clubs in the Southern United States and Aruba. KM’s headquarters in New Orleans, LA serves as the backbone for these establishments by providing day-to-day assistance with everything from operations and marketing to accounting and legal. Our mission is to empower our managers and staff on the ground to create the ultimate guest experience for our customers. Through its affiliate, Penthouse Global Licensing, KM is also the master licensor for PENTHOUSE, the iconic adult magazine and media company, and licenses its entire trademark portfolio in all classes and territories around the world.
At KM’s corporate headquarters, our executive leadership is divided into three divisions: Licensing, Nightclubs, and Restaurants, and our corporate Accounting, Administration, and Human Resources teams support all divisions. In addition to the daily management of our existing businesses, our corporate office is constantly focused on refining brand strategy, expanding operations into new markets, and finding innovative ways to improve our company and the hospitality industry in general.
ASSOCIATE
KM is seeking a full-time Associate to support our division leaders and executive team. The ideal candidate is a young professional interested in hospitality, finance & accounting, legal & licensing, marketing & advertising, human resources, and/or business strategy who is looking to gain valuable, hands-on experience.
