at Visions2030
๐ข About Visions2030
Visions2030 is a forward-thinking organization that explores imagination, systems change, technology, and global futures through unique convenings, conferences, and cultural initiatives. Working here means being part of a team that shapes conversations around the future, blending creativity with strategic thinking in a remote, flexible environment.
About This Role
As a Part-Time Program Coordinator, you'll be the operational backbone of Visions2030's eventsโmanaging timelines, communications, and logistics for both in-person and virtual programs. This role is impactful because you'll directly enable thought leaders and collaborators to focus on content while you ensure every detail runs smoothly, from invitations to travel arrangements.
๐ก A Day in the Life
A typical day might start by checking emails and updating the RSVP tracker for an upcoming virtual convening. You'll then draft a program description for a new event, coordinate with a speaker on their travel logistics, and follow up with participants via email. Later, you'll hop on a Zoom call with the team to align on timelines for the next conference.
