Stand Together · Arlington, VA · 2 wk ago
Marketing$100k–$120k/yrFull-time
How You Will Contribute
- Convening & Event Execution Plan and run the gatherings.
- Design and execute convenings, workshops, and activation touchpoints — whether in regional markets or within national partner networks — from logistics to facilitation to follow-through.
- Establish a rhythm of touchpoints that keeps the community active and connected without burning people out.
- Own relationships with venues, vendors, and logistics partners. Make every gathering run smoothly so the experience is the only thing leaders remember.
- Capture what comes out of the room. Document stories, connections, and insights from each event and feed them back into the team and the platform.
- Managing and supporting online community circles, including setting up and organizing spaces, moderating discussions, and driving member engagement.
- Build leader-to-leader connections. Make the introductions, identify the common ground, and create peer relationships that persist beyond any individual event.
- Support leader onboarding. Help new leaders integrate into the BTP community — making sure they know who else is in the network and what they can do together.
- Track community health. Monitor who is showing up, who is bringing others, and who is ready to play a larger role in the network.
- Identify emerging leaders. Spot community members who are ready to step into a more active role and connect them with opportunities within BTP.
- Coordination & Partner Support
- Coordinate closely with your Sr. EM. Serve as the execution layer for activation strategy — whether that's coordinating with Radius leads in regional markets or working inside national partner networks with organizational counterparts.
- Support implementing partners. Help local partners or organizational partners run their own activations within the BTP framework, lowering the lift for them to participate.
- Serve as the link between the Sr. EM, Radius teams or partner organizations, and the leaders in each market or network.
- Coordinate with the other Community Manager on opportunities where regional and organizational leader communities can intersect.
What You Will Bring
- Demonstrated experience planning and executing events or convenings for community, civic, or professional audiences — you know how to make a room work across different contexts and scales.
- Strong relationship-building instincts — you are the kind of person people are genuinely glad to see, and the connections you make outlast the events you run.
- Cross-cultural fluency — genuine comfort and curiosity across diverse communities and cultural contexts.
- Comfort managing multiple markets, timelines, and logistics streams simultaneously without losing sight of the relationships underneath.
- A genuine belief in the mission — you understand that what you are building is not a program, it is a community, and that distinction matters in how you show up.
- A builder's mindset — comfort operating without a complete playbook and contributing to the one being written.
- Willingness and ability to travel. Regional track — Frequent. Regular in-market presence across priority cities is expected. Organizational track — Regular. Partner convenings, affiliate events, and network gatherings.
- Enthusiasm to contribute to Stand Together's vision and principled approach to solving problems, and a commitment to stewarding our culture, which champions values including transformation and innovation, entrepreneurialism, humility, and respect.
