    About Breakout

    At Breakout, a Techstars-backed company, we're facilitators of strategic fun, building the global platform to help businesses develop strong company culture no matter where their employees are based.

    We believe that teams that have fun together are happier, perform better, and stick together. And, help companies like Adobe, Duolingo, and Dropbox build meaningful bonds through virtual and hybrid events that shrink the distances between us, physical and otherwise.

    We're Looking for Event Hosts / Zoom Managers

    As a Host/Zoom Manager at Breakout, you will guide teams through live virtual experiences that foster engagement and connection. Our experiences range from 15-minute icebreakers to 60-minute activities such as tie-dyeing, cookie decorating, and more. Depending on the length and complexity of the activity, you may serve as both the Host and Zoom Manager, or work alongside another team member. You are the stewards of our facilitated company fun in real time.

    • Collaborate with our team to prepare for, rehearse and execute events.
    • Facilitate events by following our scripts and giving clear instructions while still making it your own and adapting to the needs of the participants.
