- Help bring issues to life onstage: Identify and recommend speakers who can bring critical issues to life onstage, helping our audience better understand complex challenges in global development, and opportunities for collaboration.
- Manage speaker correspondence: Handle communications with a robust roster of speakers to confirm speaking details, schedule briefing calls, collect and share key assets, prepare event and podcast materials briefs and materials, and join speaker briefing calls that spark confidence.
- Provide strategic support: Support the senior editor and executive editor and EVP with both seeking and managing external speaking and moderation opportunities, coordinating logistics and scheduling, and developing presentations.
- Collaborate across teams: Partner with social media, marketing, and production teams, as well as the Office of the President, to ensure content flows smoothly from concept to execution, maintaining consistency across the entire event lifecycle.
- Keep organized: Maintain meticulous organization of project timelines, deliverables, and communication. Ensure all tracking tools and documents are up-to-date to support efficient event management.
- Support event coverage: Support any write-ups or video recaps from event sessions, providing input on what moments are most valuable and interesting for the Devex community.
Thrive in Our World:
- You possess strong editorial judgment and a keen sense for what matters to global development audiences, with experience editing and curating content that resonates.
