Join our dynamic and innovative team as a Community Manager for DC Bocce and help us shape the future of events and community building.

About us

The Regular is a social impact technology startup based in Washington, DC. We help people find communities they can join and connect those community's gatherings to Eatertainment experiences during empty times at local bars, restaurants, and other venues. As those repeat visitors come into businesses we help them engage to turn a higher percentage of them into the most important customer for any business - The Regular.  Our leadership team and advisors have held senior product, operations, and community building roles within Salesforce, AWS, Greenpeace USA, Niagara Water, and elsewhere while our Founder Brandolon Barnett is an author and speaker on social impact issues. As such we’re also a social enterprise dedicated to positive impact. All of our Host partners must sponsor a local charity in their community to receive 3% of all membership subscriptions.
