About the role

University of California Merced is seeking a Banquet Captain to provide on-site leadership for catered and served events, coordinating timelines, setup, service, and breakdown. You will oversee staff, food staging, equipment, and vehicle coordination while ensuring high levels of customer service and safety compliance. The role requires strong supervision skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage diverse events across campus venues.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
