Events Manager

Events Manager

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.

We are looking for 2-3 event managers. These individuals will produce ads to publicize 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.
