  • Lead smart and repeatable event logistics and planning across events that can be tailored and/or optimized to meet organizational and division goals

  • Manage logistics for POLITICO Live events, including, but not limited to, venue selection, audio-visual deliverables, creative design, budgeting, marketing and promotional activities, event load in and out, attendee flow and other onsite operational needs

  • Support POLITICO Live by working across internal departments, including editorial, sales, marketing, design, and also external stakeholders such as clients, speakers, and vendors to plan and produce live and virtual events for the organization

  • Collaborate with key stakeholders to understand strategies and execute ideas that come to life at POLITICO Live’s events; build timelines, manage agendas, communicate updates, and lead planning calls to ensure key stakeholders are aligned on event timelines and goals

  • Drive exceptional project management standards for events, including the ownership of timelines and templates, creating and advancing best practices and communicating effectively across internal and external stakeholders

  • Maintain a strong understanding of industry trends and developments; recommend enhancements to improve the totality of the experience and production; support Live team leadership to drive forward new initiatives and mandates with the team

About Us. 

POLITICO illuminates the forces shaping global power. Since 2007, we have delivered intelligence that anticipates tomorrow's headlines, not reports on yesterday's news. As politics has increasingly become the defining force of our era, our work has never been more vital. 

Cabinet secretaries and Ministers start their mornings with our analysis. CEOs shape strategy around our reporting. Advocacy leaders rely on our insights to move policy. We deliver the straightforward facts and clear-eyed analysis they need to navigate the most complex political landscape of our lifetimes. 

Our 1,100+ publishing professionals across the world's key democratic capitals—Washington, Brussels, London, Paris, Berlin, Sacramento, and New York—form the world's premier politics and policy newsroom. We tell the story of how power really works by explaining who wields it and how they plan to exercise it, connecting dots others miss and delivering scoops from sources others don't even know exist. 

Innovation has always been a core tenet of our story. At launch, we bet that depth would trump scale, that talent would trump traffic, and that politics would become central to modern life. In 2011, we made another bet and launched POLITICO Pro to help decision-makers understand the business of government, transforming both how they shape government action and the business of journalism itself. 

These bets have made POLITICO the most successful digital news startup of its generation and the indispensable resource for leaders who shape the future. Today, we are a rarity in media: a growing, profitable, and sustainable news organization. 

POLITICO is a subsidiary of Axel Springer SE, a family-owned transatlantic media company headquartered in Berlin and New York. Axel Springer is dedicated to shaping the future of journalism in the free world, believing that a free and informed society is essential to democracy. The company’s guiding principles - first articulated as The Essentials by founder Axel Springer in the aftermath of World War II - remain a cornerstone of the company’s foundation today. Learn more about Axel Springer.
