Careers · Speed Date Tampa

Help Tampa Bay singles meet.

We’re looking for warm, organised people to host, plan and promote speed dating nights across Tampa Bay — from the Riverwalk and Ybor to Westshore, St. Petersburg and Clearwater.

Work with us

A social role with a very real result.

Speed Date Tampa has hosted in-person speed dating nights across Tampa Bay since 2008. Behind every good night is a host who greets each guest by name, seats them at their table, and keeps about ten five-minute dates rotating on time. If you like people, stay calm in a busy room, and take pride in a well-run event, we’d like to hear from you.

What our hosts & coordinators do

No two nights are identical, but the heart of the role is making guests comfortable and keeping the evening on schedule. Depending on the role, that can include:

  • Hosting speed dating nights in person, and on Zoom for our online events
  • Finding and building relationships with bars, lounges and restaurants around Tampa Bay
  • Running check-in, seating and the rotation on the night
  • Corresponding warmly with guests before and after events
  • Helping promote nights from Downtown and Hyde Park to Brandon, Wesley Chapel and St. Pete

Who we’re looking for

Friendly, punctual and confident in a crowd. Experience in events, hospitality or promotion helps, but reliability and a good manner matter most. Evening and weekend availability is essential — that is when our nights happen — and being able to get around the bay, bridges included, is a real plus. An interview with Speed Date Tampa ownership and a background check are part of the process, because every guest should feel safe and looked after.

How to apply

Ready to join? Send us a note through the contact form with a little about yourself, your availability, and which parts of the bay you could host in. We reply to every inquiry.

Why work with us
