Speaker Booking Assistant (US-based - Remote)

From Day One

About From Day One: The business landscape is changing fast. From Day One is a media outlet and conference series that helps companies navigate all that change in ways that put people first. Since our beginning in 2018, we’ve reached over 150,000 attendees, hosted over a thousand speakers, and produced conferences in more than 20 major U.S. cities–and counting. We take a unique, cross-disciplinary approach, convening leaders in CSR, HR, marketing, and communications, as well as civic leaders, authors, and journalists, to share business strategies that benefit workers, customers, and communities. We also publish reporting and opinion pieces by a network of notable journalists, led by the company’s editor in chief, veteran journalist Stephen Koepp. At From Day One, we hire people who have a high degree of self-motivation and the potential to grow into active leaders. We call team members like these “drivers”. If you are a passenger, From Day One will not be a good fit for you. As you apply, think about whether these attributes describe you: You motivate and energize colleagues rather than waiting for inspiration. You're relentlessly resourceful and take ownership rather than seeking excuses. . You look to consistently deliver great outcomes, and work to improve processes as you engage with them. You are excited about your work and bring urgency to your mission. You approach challenges with enthusiasm and optimism. Our work is driven by our mission to improve the relationship between business and society, and our efforts are intended to contribute to a brighter future. By maintaining this optimistic outlook, we not only motivate ourselves but also uplift those around us. We believe that believing that the future will be better is the first step towards making it better -- for others, and for ourselves personally. Please note that diversity and inclusion are absolutely core to our mission, and we are committed to those values in our hiring process. About This Role: The Speaker Booking Specialist will take a key role in researching, contacting, and securing bookings of editorial speakers for our events, typically notable authors, business executives, activists, and academics. Key tasks will include tracking progress towards booking goals, pitching potential speakers, updating and maintaining contact management systems, and managing the preparation process. Candidates must have the ability to engage in conversation and relay interest, passion and excitement when securing engagements. Requirements A minimum of 2 years professional experience in a related role Basic knowledge of business software such as MS Office products, Google For Business, or similar. Skill and experience with writing in a business context Outstanding organizational and time management skills Excellent verbal and written communications skills A 4-year college/university degree Benefits This is a full-time salaried position. Starting salary is $50,000 per year with opportunities for regular advancement and raises. This position is mostly remote but will require some travel to our conferences, which take place around the country and occur every few weeks during the fall, winter, and spring. From Day One offers a comprehensive benefits package, including health insurance (fully paid medical, dental, and vision coverage); competitive vacation policies, including summer and winter breaks; and an employee stock plan.

Executive Editor, Vox

Vox Media

An illustrious media company, Vox Media invites clients and team members to delve deeper into building connections with passionate, curious, and global audiences. Founded in 2003,

Vox is seeking an Executive Editor who will bring a clear vision, original ideas, and a deep understanding of the political and policy landscape. This leader will define what Vox’s politics and policy journalism should look like in 2026 and beyond, ensuring our work serves audiences outside the political bubble and connects meaningfully with the next generation of audiences. You will guide and elevate Vox’s politics and policy coverage across formats (text and audio, and also collaborating with video), manage a high-performing team of reporters and editors, and oversee our flagship Today, Explained and Explain It to Me podcast teams. This role calls for someone who excels at identifying the political forces shaping people’s lives — and translating that into sharp, clear, memorable explanatory journalism. The ideal candidate is someone who can set a vision for politics coverage that focuses on serving everyday people across the US, rather than Washington insiders — meeting them where they are, answering their questions, and covering the stories that matter to them and impact their day-to-day lives. They should also be an innovator who is eager to experiment with new mediums. They will directly manage text and audio teams, but also collaborate closely with the video team to help ideate on video story ideas and formats that reach and serve audiences who consume their news through social platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. They should be a strong, experienced people manager who is comfortable managing editors as well as reporters. They will be a key member of the newsroom leadership team, reporting to the Editor-in-Chief & Publisher. What You’ll Do Oversee three editorial teams in the newsroom: Politics, Policy, and Ideas; Today, Explained and Explain It to Me; and Even Better and Lifestyle. Shape vision and strategy for Vox’s political journalism in 2026 and the years ahead, centering audiences who feel overlooked or underserved by traditional political coverage. Direct daily, short-, and long-term editorial plans, managing the balance between bigger original pieces and shorter pieces that are responsive to news, and directing the team when it’s necessary to pivot from plans due to news. Develop coverage strategies that meet audience members where they are — including audiences newer to news, politically disengaged readers/listeners, and younger audiences with different expectations of how news should work. Ensure our journalism is accessible, relevant, and grounded in real-world questions and concerns, not just the narratives dominating political insiders’ conversations. Identify opportunities to grow reach and impact through new formats, collaborations, and storytelling approaches, and partner with other teams to execute on multiplatform ideas. Mentor team members at all levels, helping them develop ideas and angles, structure stories, and strengthen their reporting. Oversee editorial strategy and execution for Today, Explained and Explain It to Me, ensuring the shows meet Vox’s standards for clarity, depth, creativity, and broad accessibility. Strengthen collaboration between text, audio, and video teams to ensure cohesive, cross-platform political coverage. Work with senior leadership across teams to shape Vox’s priorities and coverage strategy around major political moments (elections, legislative cycles, global events, court decisions, etc.). Coordinate cross-newsroom efforts around major projects, tentpoles, investigations, and explanatory initiatives. What You’ll Bring
