Event Host - Chicago, IL

Event Host

Circuit is the premier tech-enabled amenities provider. Circuit provides amenity services to residential and corporate locations across the United States. At Circuit, we believe in the power of community, striving to create connections and experiences that engage and bring people together.

We are hiring freelance event hosts to assist with on-site events in apartment communities within the Chicago area. Events focus in the areas of health/wellness, and culture/arts. Event host shifts are offered 1-3 times a month. Each event is between 1.5 - 4 hours in length. Weeknight events are after business hours, weekend events vary in timing. This is a fun opportunity to earn a bit of extra income while working in a relaxed and professional environment.

Your general role as an event host is to assist in the execution, supervision, and completion of Circuit events. While most every event is unique, the following is what you may expect to see as routine at a Circuit event.

• Arrive to event location 45 minutes prior to event official start time
• Take & share photos of event set-up prior to and throughout the event
• Notify key players of your arrival (food vendors, class instructors, bartenders, etc.)
• Be sure event is set up according to the Event Execution Form (which will be provided 48 hours in advance)
• Handle any last-minute updates and/or onsite issues - retrieving ice, providing paper towels, etc.
• Throughout the duration of the event, checking in on guests and vendors alike to be sure needs are met
• At close of event, return room to original set up. Ensure trash and other items have been stored properly
• Typically, event breakdown lasts 30 min-1hr.

Qualifications and required skills:

• Prior experience in a customer facing role such as event management, restaurant work, or retail is ideal. Additional training will be provided, but a basic skill set of customer service abilities is expected.
