KAP 2025-2026 - Events Coordinator - Pacific Legal Foundation
Event Planner job in Arlington, VA
The Koch Associate Program (KAP) is a career accelerator for early to mid-career professionals with a drive to tackle our country's most pressing challenges in more effective, principled ways. KAP equips associates with the tools, mindsets, and community to succeed as social entrepreneurs-individuals excited to find new and better ways to break barriers and eliminate injustice. Associates spend one day each week engaging in experiential learning with Stand Together Fellowships and work at one of our many partner organizations the rest of the week. Our curriculum is designed to supercharge your development and equip you for long-term success as you seek to have an impact on the problems that prevent people from realizing their potential.
You: A detail oriented, quick-thinking events professional who wants to design experiences that raise awareness and inspire support for important constitutional issues. You enjoy coordinating complex projects across the finish line and are an expert at channeling your creativity and determination into tangible projects like events. In short, you are confident, you are relentless, you elevate others, and you are a freedom fighter-the core values of Pacific Legal Foundation.
Them: Bureaucrats, city councils, mayors, governors, and federal agencies stripping Americans of their rights every day. There's a lot of government overreach out there, and it's backed by seemingly endless resources. But fortunately, like all lumbering giants, abusive government is most vulnerable when countered by individuals who act strategically and nimbly, take calculated risks, have each other's backs, and are confident in, and passionate for, the cause-the very sort of swashbucklers we employ in spades here at PLF.
Us: We fight back. Pacific Legal Foundation is the nation's first and most successful public interest law firm dedicated to vindicating individual liberty. PLF has an unmatched record in the U.S. Supreme Court, with 18 victories out of 20 cases heard by the Court. We also have nearly two hundred active cases across the nation.
We are a next-generation public interest law firm. What does “next generation” mean for a legal nonprofit? It means we aren't interested in doing the same thing as everyone else. We aspire to be the best player in a constantly changing game.
This role is ideal for someone with:
· At least two years of event planning or professional experience directly related to the responsibilities of the role (i.e., in a customer-focused industry). Internship experience qualifies.
· Experience managing complex projects involving both internal and external stakeholders.
· A propensity for offering solutions and asking questions, rather than remaining idle.
· An ability to multi-task and pay attention to details in an intense and highly visible work setting.
· A self-starter's mentality and a can-do attitude that thrives under pressure.
· A team-oriented, customer service mindset-ready and willing to assist others.
· Experience with Salesforce and Microsoft Office suite preferred.
Day to day, here's what you'll do:
· Collaborate across PLF teams to execute events ranging from webinars and networking receptions to complex, multi-day seminars and conferences.
· Develop and implement new ideas to level up event experiences.
· Manage on-site execution to ensure events run smoothly and exceed attendee expectations.
· Coordinate event materials and manage inventory.
· Serve as an external-facing representative of Pacific Legal Foundation at network conferences and events.
· Travel to PLF events up to 30% of the year (may include weekends).
GENERAL INFORMATION
Pacific Legal Foundation identifies and litigates important legal issues to set landmark precedents that will benefit Americans nationwide. Using strategic and principled litigation, communications, and research, we battle for freedom in the nation's courts and the court of public opinion.
As a national nonprofit organization, PLF has brick-and-mortar offices in Sacramento, California; Arlington, Virginia; and Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, although approximately half of the staff work from home offices across the country.
