  • Support speaker onboarding, including confirmations, bios, and technical preparation
  • Manage day-of-event logistics, including run-of-show coordination and troubleshooting
  • Assist with post-event follow-up, attendance tracking, and feedback collection

  • Demonstrated interest in human rights, social justice, nonprofit work, or event planning
  • At least one year of experience in event coordination, project management, communications, or a related field (professional, academic, or volunteer)
  • Ability to manage multiple tasks and deadlines in a remote, start-up environment
  • Comfortable communicating with diverse stakeholders, including speakers and partners
  • Familiarity with virtual event platforms, Google Suite, and collaborative tools such as Slack preferred
  • Experience with event promotion, outreach, or registration platforms is a plus
  • Degree or coursework in Event Management, Communications, Nonprofit Management, Human Rights, or a related field is preferred

Compensation and Commitment

This is a volunteer, virtual opportunity with an expectation of approximately 4–6 hours per week. A minimum six-month commitment is required.
