Events Manager

OVERVIEW The Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA) is hiring an Events Manager to lead the events where FGA builds relationships with lawmakers, donors, and partners. You'll shape each event from the first date on the calendar to the final cost report. In this role, you’ll negotiate venues and hotel contracts, build agendas with senior leaders, and run each event on-site from start to finish. This role is built for someone who loves crafting and producing events from the ground up: the planning, the details, and the payoff of a room that comes together. You'll own about 20 events per year, from small donor dinners to lawmaker fly-ins of 200-plus attendees, along with policy summits and all-staff meetings. When a flight gets canceled or a speaker drops out the night before, you stay calm, handle the curveball, and fix it before attendees notice. The ideal candidate brings at least five years running live events end to end, including hotel contract negotiation. Experience with lawmakers or VIPs is a plus. This role is fully remote, with travel two to three times per quarter. You'll lead planning for every event, but not every event requires you on site. COMPENSATION As Events Manager, you'll sit on the Communications team and report to the Internal Systems Director. FGA offers a competitive salary of $80,000–$100,000, depending on experience and qualifications, along with a benefits package that includes a six percent retirement match, health benefits, and generous pai
