PragerU is the world's leading conservative nonprofit that is focused on changing minds through the creative use of digital media. Taking full advantage of today's technology and social media, we educate millions of Americans and young people about the values that make America great. We’re proud to be voted “Best Place to Work in Los Angeles” by LA Business Journal.

About the Chief of Staff Opening:

We are looking for an experienced executive who has served in a Chief of Staff and/or high-level Executive Assistant capacity to help optimize our organization's ongoing operations, procedures, and metrics, particularly with a marketing/production focus.

The ideal candidate is humble, willing to roll up their sleeves in a growing organization where no job is too small or too large, and can work closely with the CEO (to whom this role reports) on day-to-day operations. We need someone skilled in anticipating issues, preventing problems before they arise, and effectively ‘directing traffic’ within the organization.

Duties and Responsibilities:

• Review the CEO and team/production calendar daily/weekly, and anticipate/optimize for work operations taking into account CEO & team needs, availability, and highest priority projects.
• Work with program teams on ensuring we are optimizing for the best metrics on a weekly/monthly/quarterly basis - particularly marketing and production teams.
• Draft/proofread the most important internal/external communications for accuracy and impact, and take part in creation of our annual/bi-annual reports.
• Structure and organize our quarterly board meetings including onsite coordination and BOD member attendance and communication as needed.
• Work with content production/marketing team to increase operational efficiency wherever needed - whether content reviewing, messaging, and in general keeping projects moving forward.
• Foster process for strategic planning as needed, and ensure alignment between programs and fundraising/office of the CEO.

Successful Candidates Will Possess:

• 5-7+ years of high-level experience, including working with companies of 100+ staff and $50M+ revenues.
• Impeccable writing/communication skills, organizational skills, project management skills.
• Zero ego, and highly professional judgment - know when to pull CEO in for guidance and when to make quick decisions and move things forward.
• Hunger/driven to succeed - this role works closely with the CEO and thus requires an individual who has the same level of hunger to succeed, passion for the cause/company and will put in the time/effort as needed for a ‘Company First’ mentality.
• Strong passion for our vision/mission, strong Conservative, pro-American values and knowledge of our digital footprint.
• Passion for PragerU’s mission.
