About the Role
You run Base events in your city. Experiences, socials, new-member orientations, dinners, seasonal events—whatever the city needs. You arrive early, set the room, greet every Member by name, work the room with confidence, and close it well. You make a venue feel like the right place to be.
Responsibilities
- Own the room from open to close. Set the space before anyone arrives—lighting, music, place cards, flow. The room must look phenomenal before the first Member walks in.
- Welcome Members at the door. Know who is coming and use their name.
- Work the room. Open the event, manage energy, handle transitions, and close with intention. Whether it’s a 20-person dinner or a 60-person social, you hold it.
- Run the full range of events: experiences, socials, orientations, dinners, seasonal events. Adapt the format while maintaining the standard.
- Hold the standard. Fix issues (e.g., a crooked chair, dim corner, awkward music transition) before anyone notices.
- Tear down and leave the venue better than you found it.
Qualifications
- Charismatic—people warm up to you fast. A peer, not a performer.
- Comfortable around accomplished adults. You belong in the room, not just working it.
- A lover of your city. You know the culture, venues, and neighborhoods where people want to be.
- Confident leading a group. You can hold 20 to 60 people without losing them.
- Reliable above everything. Events run on a recurring rhythm, and you show up every time, prepared, on standard.
- Detail-obsessed. You catch what others miss.
- Genuinely curious about people. You remember names, stories, and who attended last time.
Background
Hospitality, fine dining, theater, private clubs, event production, weddings, or restaurants—anywhere you’ve run real rooms for discerning people. The common thread: you held the room, and they came back.

- Comfortable on your feet for the duration of the event.

- Do not drink alcohol on shift if it is served at the event.
- 18 or older and eligible to work in the US.
