Job Description

Sporcle Events is the nation's largest trivia company, known for delivering exciting, engaging, and competitive trivia nights at a variety of local bars and restaurants. With a reputation for combining entertainment with the joy of learning, Sporcle creates an engaging atmosphere where players compete to show off their random facts knowledge and enjoy a lively social experience. The company emphasizes community, interaction, and fun, making each trivia event more than just a game but a memorable night out for participants. Sporcle prides itself on fostering a dynamic workplace where outgoing and energetic hosts can thrive as the centerpiece of each trivia night.

Currently, Sporcle is hiring an outgoing and reliable host to run weekly trivia nights in Portland, Oregon. This part-time role offers a unique opportunity to get paid for leading trivia events and keeping the crowd engaged and energized from start to finish. Hosts will receive comprehensive paid training to ensure they are comfortable and confident in their roles, learning how to manage the event effectively, work with venue staff, and enhance the player experience. The pay ranges from $25.00 to $32.00 per hour, starting at $80 per night, with the chance to take on additional events and bigger gigs based on performance and availability.

The host is expected to bring personality and enthusiasm to each event, communicating clearly and confidently using a microphone, managing the pace of the game, setting up and breaking down equipment, and solving minor technical issues. Sporcle seeks individuals who are dependable, tech-comfortable, quick thinkers, and comfortable engaging with a crowd. While prior experience in hosting, public speaking, teaching, or event coordination is beneficial, it is not required. The role requires punctuality, the ability to transport equipment weighing approximately 35 pounds, and a commitment to completing paid online training prior to hosting.

This position is ideal for individuals who enjoy being on a mic, have a knack for trivia, and love being at the center of social gatherings. Sporcle values inclusivity and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer, encouraging candidates from all backgrounds to apply. The role offers part-time hours, approximately three hours per event, typically one evening per week, with flexible scheduling across the week. Benefits include a 401(k) retirement plan, and the company maintains a professional work environment with standards to follow during the hiring and hosting process.
