What are the responsibilities and job description for the City Host position at Base?
About Base
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.
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.
What You Will Do
Hospitality, fine dining, theater, private clubs, event production, weddings, restaurants. Anywhere you have run real rooms for discerning people. The common thread: you held the room and they came back.

What You Will Do
- Own the room from open to close. Set the space before anyone arrives. Lighting, music, place cards, flow. The room has to look phenomenal before the first Member walks in.
- Welcome Members at the door. Know who is coming. Use their name.
- Work the room. Open the event, manage energy, handle transitions, close with intention. Whether it is a 20-person dinner or a 60-person social, you hold it.
- Run the full range. Experiences, socials, orientations, dinners, seasonal events. You adapt the format. The standard stays the same.
- Hold the standard. If something is off, a crooked chair, a dim corner, an awkward seam in the music, you fix it before anyone notices.
- Tear down. Leave the venue better than you found it.
- 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, the venues, the neighborhoods. You know 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. You show up every time, prepared, on standard.
- Detail obsessed. You catch what others miss.
- Genuinely curious about people. You remember names, stories, who was here last time and who wasn't.
