About The Role

In 2025, Relentless is running compensated relational programs in multiple battleground states using Rally. Our programs will hire thousands of low turnout voters to become relational organizers in their communities and mobilize their friends and families to vote. We’re looking for an enthusiastic, flexible, and dependable Senior Events Manager to help power and scale our virtual program events.

Relentless programs specialize in activating low turnout, high-opportunity voters through energetic, educational, and community-focused virtual events that move participants to action and change their relationship to democracy. Our virtual events provide participants with an experience of enthusiasm, support, and confidence for the work they are doing—so they can continue to be trusted messengers to their communities.

The Senior Events Manager will oversee the execution and operation of virtual events for all participants in our 2025 programs. The Senior Events Manager will directly report to the Deputy Director of Participant Experience.

A great Senior Events Manager is someone who is excited to direct an energetic and adaptable virtual events program that engages, informs, and activates participants to view themselves as empowered messengers to their communities. A good fit for this role is someone who is excellent at problem-solving on their feet and coordinating multiple moving pieces to meet changing needs and priorities. You’re a good fit for this role if you are skilled at connecting and communicating with people from diverse walks of life and passionate about leading & improving teams and systems to enhance the participant and staff experience.

This is a full-time, remote, and temporary position with an estimated start date of August 5th, 2025 and an end date of November 21, 2025.
