Event Manager The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF), the world’s leading think tank for science and technology policy, seeks a highly motivated, highly organized professional who is both logistically minded and technically savvy to plan and execute its regular program of events and meetings, which are critical to the organization’s mission as a thought leader on technology and innovation issues. ITIF’s event programming includes both online webinars and in-person panel discussions, roundtables, and conferences, both on-site in our Washington, DC, offices and off-site at locations such as Capitol Hill and other capital cities around the world (requiring remote logistical support, not foreign travel). Reporting to the executive vice president of communications, the event manager orchestrates an average of six public and private events per month. This involves driving all event logistics in collaboration with policy analysts who are subject-matter experts; coordinating marketing efforts with communications managers; and personally managing and executing technical production from beginning to end. The position therefore requires efficient mastery of administrative logistics, including scheduling and contact database management; familiarity with email marketing, social media, and word-of-mouth marketing; experience managing webinars; and ability to manage in-person room staging and A/V operation. This is an external relations function that will provide the right candidate an opportunity to work at the fast-moving intersection of technology and public policy in Washington, DC, by staging events that help influence debates on important issues of the day. The position interacts with representatives of advocacy groups, companies, academics, and offices of government officials, among others. The ideal candidate will have previous professional experience in a fast-paced professional environment, plus strong technical proficiency with A/V equipment, contact databases, and email marketing platforms. The candidate will proactively manage multiple short-term and long-term deadlines simultaneously, taking ownership and responsibility for getting things done with an eye for professional quality and detail.
