The Center for Global Development (CGD) is an independent, non-partisan, non-profit policy research organization in Washington, DC and London, UK that focuses on the issues and institutions that are critical to inclusive development. Since its creation in 2001, CGD has earned a global reputation as a highly effective “think-and-do tank”. Through rigorous empirical research and active engagement with the global policy community, we focus on the policy intersections of low- and middle-income countries and the governments, institutions, and corporations that can be partners in delivering greater progress.
Events are a vital communications tool to advance our mission, and CGD has a reputation for hosting dynamic, agenda-setting conversations with high-profile development policymakers and leading researchers. Each year CGD hosts around 100 live events, including high-level private roundtables, public panel discussions and conferences, and workshops in our on-site conference center, online, and at external sites.
The successful candidate will be a dynamic and hands-on implementer responsible for planning and producing a busy calendar of events from concept to execution. This will include program development, coordinating relevant logistics, and developing marketing content in collaboration with internal experts and external stakeholders in order to promote events. Successful candidates are self-starters, used to working in an agile, fast-paced environment; practical and detailed oriented and entrepreneurial; always looking for opportunities to extend our reach and elevate CGD’s voice.
