Full Time Zoom Room Jobs (NOW HIRING)

SUMMARY:
A major non-profit organization with a focus on issues in the Middle East is looking to hire a Virtual Event Producer into a full-time, salaried, staff position with benefits. This individual will join an already robust Event Production, Programming & Technology team and will be involved in the development, coordination, and execution of virtual events via an in-house studio and control room.
