Location: Washington, DC 20011
Description:
Benefits:
We're opening Ned's Club Washington DC in Summer 2024, and the General Manager is crucial to ensuring our success in this exciting new market.
Created in 2017 by Soho House Founder Nick Jones, The Ned originated in the former Midland Bank headquarters in London, designed by Sir Edwin 'Ned' Lutyens in 1924. The space includes private members' club Ned's Club and a private events floor, alongside ten restaurants and 250 bedrooms which are available to the public.
The Ned and Ned's Club expanded in 2022 to include The Ned NoMad in New York and The Ned Doha. Each property is slightly different depending on its location, but the ethos of The Ned remains the same; to create a space for like-minded professionals to meet, work and have a good time.
In late summer 2024, Ned's Club Washington DC is set to open its first standalone club, exclusive to members. Whether members are a leader in their field, a budding entrepreneur, or simply someone who enjoys the finer things in life, Ned's Club offers a welcoming and sophisticated environment for members to thrive and connect with likeminded individuals. Members share the commitment to respect and contribute to the success of their respective communities.
