Ideally, this candidate will be a results-oriented professional with events experience and a creative and critical thinker who has a very strong interest and capability in content development as it relates to the field of corporate philanthropy. Strong writing skills are a must for the development of program outlines, session descriptions, invitation copy, speaker notes, etc.
This position provides exceptional exposure to the corporate sector’s finest and most socially-aware business leaders and offers a candidate the chance to be part of a small but enterprising team.
Qualifications:

• Experience interacting with C-Level executives.
