Events Manager

Company Description

• OUR NATIONAL CONVERSATION (OurNationalConversation.org, or ONC
• for short) is a nonpartisan political conversation site devoted to balanced
• and civil conversations designed to make America a better country.
• Republicans, Democrats and Independents –all are all welcome at ONC.
• Our motto: “less hate, more debate.”
• We are largely powered by Gen Z students – America’s future leaders – who
• produce articles, events, podcasts and more. Experienced professionals
• mentor our students.
• Though many applaud our mission, OUR NATIONAL CONVERSATION is not
• well-known.
• It’s time to change that. We need to add more excitement to our mix. Our
• students tend to be very earnest policy wonks – kinda dry – and we need to
• do more to produce content that can go viral. Both types of content are
• complementary and compatible

Job Description

• We are looking for 2-3 event managers. These individuals will produce ads
• to publice our events; they will manage our EventBrite page; they will make
• sure all the technology is working the day of our events. If someone in the
• audience gets out of line, we need you to boot that person off the system as
• quickly as you can. You will need to know Zoom, EventBrite and MailChimp
• (or be willing to learn).
• There is no pay at this time. That said, you WILL get excellent hands-on
• experience and the chance to really build your resume. Our former interns
• tell us all the time what a great internship we offer.
• Who knows? Maybe this will be your big break. We won’t know till we try.
• Be ready to commit to four to 10 hours a week. We are completely remote
• and use Slack, Google Drive and Zoom to communicate. There are two,
• one-hour mandatory meetings each week. We operate on a semester basis;
• if you can commit to at least two or three semesters, that’s a big plus.
• Please send a 2-4 paragraph cover letter along with a resume and any links
• to video clips or social media posts you think are relevant. Tell us “Why
• you?” – and why ONC appeals to you.
• We look forward to hearing from you
