TEDxSeattle is growing, and we are in search of a Co-Organizer (multiple positions possible) to help define the long-term vision for the TEDxSeattle Organization and build a team of volunteers and partner organizations to help execute on that strategy. As Co-Organizer, your goal would be to support multiple TEDx Seattle teams and ensure they are effective.
This role requires a balance of strategy and execution. You will often be expected to roll up your sleeves and take on individual tasks when they can't be completed by volunteers on the team. A successful leader in this role will be able to build highly effective and dependable teams
A good co-organizer should be able to:
- make difficult decisions that will impact large numbers of people (either volunteers or members of the TEDxSeattle community)
- help realign volunteers or hire new volunteers when team members step down from their roles.
- responsibly manage our budget and finances
Responsibilities include:
- Defining the strategic and organizational structure for TEDxSeattle
- Build programs and support systems for TEDxSeattle's ancillary teams (TEDxSeattleWomen, TEDxYouth@Seattle, and TEDxSeattle Salons)
- Set annual event strategy, including event format, location, speaker count, etc.
- Lead a team of managers and empower them to successfully lead their teams
- Be responsible for the overall P&L of the TEDxSeattle organization along with ancillary events
- Create programs to ensure that volunteers continually get value from their volunteer experience year after year
Qualifications include:
- 5+ years of leading large cross-functional teams
- 5+ years of planning and executing large-scale events
- 3+ years of leading teams of people managers
- 3+ years of overseeing P&L for a team or organization with six-figure annual revenue
