Operations & Events Manager, Basils

About Basils

Basils is a live-music portfolio relaunching out of Yerevan — five projects under one umbrella:

  • Robinson (a jazz & blues bar, the long-term flagship)
  • Listening Bar
  • The Jazz Tribute (an annual festival)
  • Gorgeouz Beats (live events, from an orchestra concert to club nights)
  • A new podcast

Basils started in 2024 and is now moving from a single events brand into a real, resourced business with its own operating plan.

Basils is an affiliated company of Stamina — an international sales and revenue growth firm that helps B2B companies build predictable pipelines and scale their sales performance. That means you'll be building inside a group that brings real commercial structure, systems, and business discipline to a creative portfolio.

About the role

We're hiring an Operations & Events Manager to run point on execution across the portfolio, working directly alongside the founder.

You'll own the calendar, the vendor and sponsor relationships, and the on-the-ground production for events — freeing the founder to focus on capital raising, partnerships, and strategy.

This is a hands-on, builder role for someone who wants real ownership over multiple live projects at once, not a single event.

What you'll actually be doing

Event production

  • Plan and run a full-scale concert with a chamber orchestra (targeted for March 2027) — venue, budget, program, sponsors, and ticketing, start to finish.
  • Build and run a recurring club night / house series (3–4 times a year) featuring local DJs, from lineup booking through logistics.
  • Lead on-the-ground production for an annual jazz festival timed around International Jazz Day (April 30) — artist coordination, ticketing, marketing handoff, and post-event wrap-up.

Venue & location

  • Drive the search for Listening Bar's permanent home — scouting locations, evaluating size/cost/foot traffic, and feeding that data into the business plan and budget.

Partnerships & vendors

  • Coordinate directly with Gorgeouz Beats' artist partner on event planning and the terms of a long-term partnership agreement.
  • Work with our podcast co-host on a content calendar and cross-promotion schedule tied to the other four projects.
  • Liaise with our marketing partner (an agency founder contributing website, social, podcast production, and event marketing as an investment in the business) to keep deliverables on schedule.

Operating rhythm

  • Own the cross-project calendar and keep every board/pipeline up to date — deadlines, budgets, sponsor status, ticket sales.
  • Run quarterly reviews per project and flag what's off-track before it becomes a problem.

What you'll need

  • 3+ years running live events, venues, or multi-project operations — hospitality, entertainment, or festival production background is a strong fit.
  • Comfortable owning a budget and a vendor/sponsor relationship end to end, not just executing a checklist someone else built.
  • Organized enough to run five projects on different timelines at once without dropping a deadline.
  • Based in or able to work from Yerevan.
  • Armenian and English fluency; Russian a plus.

Nice to have

  • Existing relationships with venues, sponsors, or the local music/DJ scene in Yerevan.
  • Experience with ticketing platforms and event marketing.
  • A genuine interest in jazz, live music, or hospitality — this isn't a role you can fake enthusiasm for.
