ProPublica seeks an events associate to contribute to the development, growth and execution of a wide range of events and programs targeted toward audiences in the Midwest, South and Southwest. As ProPublica expands operations with reporting hubs in these three regions, you will work with the director of marketing to support live digital and in-person experiences that spark debate, encourage lively discussion and bring ProPublica’s investigative journalism to life.

What you’ll do here:

  • Work closely with the director of marketing to develop and implement creative, effective event concepts and series focused on ProPublica’s ambitious local reporting projects.

  • Work with reporters and editors to develop engaging, impactful events, from local community-based conversations to larger-scale national talks, constantly striving for innovative event models and engaging speakers.

  • Identify and engage local communities through research, email communications, social media marketing and other outreach strategies, in collaboration with engagement reporters/editors and other members of the communications team.

  • Help build strategic partnerships with cultural, educational and media organizations, collaborating on new vehicles for content engagement, audience growth and impact.

  • Manage event logistics, soup to nuts, including writing and design for promotional copy; travel and lodging arrangements; and day-to-day communications with staff, partners, speakers and vendors.

  • Create effective marketing plans that engage and motivate audiences, including the implementation of social media promotion, email marketing and online advertising

  • Take a playful, creative approach to identifying opportunities for collaboration and experimentation in the production of unique digital and live event experiences that further ProPublica’s mission.

We’re looking for someone with most of the following skills:

  • Demonstrated ability to plan events, with strategic approaches for target audiences and objectives

  • Excellent writing skills, including experience writing marketing or public relations copy

  • Experience building and maintaining relationships with a diverse network of individuals and organizations

  • Digital marketing proficiency in one or more of the following channels: email, social media and online advertising

Ideally, you also have experience working with some of the tools we use, including our content management system (Craft), email marketing system (Sailthru), events management and webinar software (Eventbrite, Zoom) and streaming video (YouTube Live).

We know there are great candidates who may not fit into what we’ve described above or who have important skills we haven’t thought of. If that’s you, don’t hesitate to apply and tell us about yourself.

About ProPublica
ProPublica is an independent, nonprofit newsroom that produces investigative journalism with moral force. We dig deep into important issues, shining a light on abuses of power and betrayals of public trust — and we stick with those issues as long as it takes to hold power to account. With a team of more than 100 dedicated journalists, ProPublica covers a range of topics including government and politics, business, criminal justice, the environment, education, health care, immigration, and technology. We focus on stories with the potential to spur real-world impact. Among other positive changes, our reporting has contributed to the passage of new laws; reversals of harmful policies and practices; and accountability for leaders at local, state and national levels. Investigative journalism requires a great deal of time and resources, and many newsrooms can no longer afford to take on this kind of deep-dive reporting. As a nonprofit, ProPublica’s work is powered primarily through donations. The vast bulk of the money we spend goes directly into world-class, award-winning journalism. We are committed to uncovering the truth, no matter how long it takes or how much it costs, and we... practice transparent financial reporting so donors know how their dollars are spent. ProPublica was founded in 2007-2008 with the belief that investigative journalism is critical to our democracy. Our staff remains dedicated to carrying forward the important work of exposing corruption, informing the public about complex issues, and using the power of investigative journalism to spur reform.
