About The Position

Base is a platform for in-real-life social connection and community. Our Members are accomplished people who have built careers, families, and reputations. They come to Base for what their calendars are missing: regular, in-person time with peers they actually want to know. The gathering is the product. The City Host is the person who makes the gathering work. 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.
