Job description

ASSISTANT DIRECTOR, CONFERENCES & EVENTS

THE FEDERALIST SOCIETY


The Federalist Society, a DC-based non-profit organization dedicated to informing the legal and public policy debate on a national level, seeks an Assistant Director of Conferences & Events. This position will support the Conferences & Events team in planning and executing multi-day conferences, smaller events, and meetings for our membership here in DC and around the country. The ideal entry level candidate will be organized, optimistic, and eager to learn.


WHAT YOU'LL DO:


  • Assist the C&E team in managing the logistics for a wide range of events, including conferences, meetings, and special gatherings.
  • Collaborate effectively with internal colleagues as well as members and vendors.
  • Track and log expenses and assist with aspects of the budget process as directed.
  • Ensure deadlines are met, communications are clear, and a customer service attitude is maintained throughout the planning and executing of events.
  • Use Salesforce to manage event registrations, track attendee data, and generate reports for internal stakeholders.
  • Prepare, track, and manage materials for conferences and events.
  • Participate in day-of logistics to assist with registration, member support, conference logistics, and troubleshoot as needed.
  • Provide general administrative support and perform other duties as assigned.
  • Work flexible hours, including evenings and weekends, as required; work from home days are available to balance out workload.
  • Travel 15-20% of the time in support of events outside the DC area.


WHAT YOU'LL NEED:


  • Bachelor's degree
  • Work experience in some sort of customer service role
  • Exceptional organizational and time-management skills
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills, both written and verbal
  • Comfort level with independent as well as collaborative projects
  • Ability to problem-solve under pressure and adapt to changing circumstances
  • Ability to foster and develop good working relationships with internal clients and a diverse group of stakeholders including students, colleagues, donors, lawyer volunteers, and VIPs
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite, especially Word and Excel, and Google Workspace
  • An appreciation for the principles of constitutional government, including the separation of powers, federalism, limited government, and the rule of law as essential to protecting individual freedom
  • Ability and willingness to travel and work non-traditional hours, including weekends and evenings

WHO WE ARE:


  • Founded in 1982, the Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies is a group of conservatives and libertarians dedicated to reforming the current legal order. We are committed to the principles that the state exists to preserve freedom, that the separation of governmental powers is central to our Constitution, and that it is emphatically the duty of the judiciary to say what the law is, not what it should be.
  • By providing a forum for legal experts of opposing views to interact with members of the legal profession, the judiciary, law students, academics, and the architects of public policy, the Society has redefined the terms of legal debate.
  • The Society is a membership organization that includes, among other things, Student, Lawyers, and Faculty Divisions. These Divisions include the thousands of law students participating in chapters at most ABA-accredited law schools as well as active chapters of legal professionals in more than a hundred cities across the country.


WHERE YOU'LL WORK:

We are located in the heart of the District of Columbia, three blocks from the White House and across the street from the Farragut West Metro Station.
