Operations & Events Manager

About the role

Basils, a live-music portfolio relaunching out of Yerevan and a subsidiary of Stamina, is hiring an Operations & Events Manager to run day-to-day execution across the portfolio, working directly alongside the founder. The role covers the calendar, vendor and sponsor relationships and on-the-ground production for events, freeing the founder to focus on capital raising, partnerships and strategy. It is a hands-on, builder role for someone who wants ownership over several live projects at once.

Key responsibilities

• Event production: plan and run a full-scale concert with a chamber orchestra (targeted for March 2027), including venue, budget, programme, sponsors and ticketing.
• Build and run a recurring club night or house series (3-4 times a year) with local DJs, from line-up booking through logistics.
• Lead on-the-ground production for an annual jazz festival around International Jazz Day (April 30), including artist coordination, ticketing, marketing handoff and post-event wrap-up.
• Venue and location: drive the search for Listening Bar's permanent home, scouting locations and evaluating size, cost and foot traffic.
• Partnerships and vendors: coordinate with Gorgeouz Beats' artist partner on event planning and a long-term partnership agreement; work with the podcast co-host on a content calendar and cross-promotion; liaise with the marketing partner to keep deliverables on schedule.
• Operating rhythm: own the cross-project calendar, keep boards and pipelines up to date, run quarterly reviews per project and flag issues early.

Required profile

• 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 vendor/sponsor relationships end to end.
• Organised enough to run five projects on different timelines at once.
• 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, experience with ticketing platforms and event marketing, and a genuine interest in jazz, live music or hospitality.
