Musical Operations Manager

About the role

Basils, a live-music portfolio relaunching out of Yerevan and a subsidiary of Stamina, is hiring a Musical Operations Manager to lead execution across five live-music projects, working directly with the founder. The role covers the event calendar, vendor and sponsor relationships and on-the-ground production, freeing the founder to focus on fundraising, partnerships and strategy. It suits a hands-on operator who wants ownership of several live projects at once.

Key responsibilities

• Plan and deliver a full-scale concert with a chamber orchestra (target March 2027), covering venue, budget, programme, sponsors and ticketing.
• Launch and run a recurring club night and house music series (3-4 events a year) with local DJs, from line-up booking to logistics.
• Lead on-site production of the annual jazz festival around International Jazz Day (April 30), including artist coordination, ticketing, handover to marketing and post-event wrap-up.
• Lead the search for a permanent home for Listening Bar, scouting locations and assessing size, cost and foot traffic.
• Work with Gorgeouz Beats' artist partner on event planning and a long-term partnership agreement.
• Build a content calendar and cross-promotion schedule with the podcast co-host, and coordinate with the marketing partner to keep deliverables on schedule.
• Own the cross-project calendar, keeping boards and pipelines current on deadlines, budgets, sponsor status and ticket sales, and run quarterly reviews for each project.

Required profile

• 3+ years running live events, venues or multi-project operations; hospitality, entertainment or festival production experience is a strong fit.
• Confidence managing a budget and vendor and sponsor relationships end to end.
• Strong organisation: able to run five projects on different timelines at once.
• Based in Yerevan or able to work from Yerevan.
• Fluent Armenian and English; Russian is a plus.
• Nice to have: existing relationships with venues, sponsors or the local music and DJ scene, experience with ticketing platforms and event marketing, and a real passion for jazz, live music or hospitality.
