Who we are
Semafor is a global news platform for an increasingly complex world in which consumers are overwhelmed by too many news sources and unsure what to trust. We are building Semafor to enable world-class journalists to deliver reporting and insights with rigor in journalistic forms that ensure a new level of transparency. Our editors and reporters distill the most important stories from all over in formats that uncover the forces shaping the stories, explain the interests behind polarizing narratives, and replenish the stock of shared facts. As a global platform, Semafor recognizes that smart people can disagree and that informed readers need to understand alternative points of view from competing centers of power and culture in a multi-polar world.

About this Role
Semafor is seeking experienced professionals in strategic communications, corporate relations, journalism, protocol, or executive engagement to support our flagship live journalism events in a contract role, ranging from 20 hours/week to full-time. This role involves white-glove coordinating with VIP event participants (CEOs, C-Suite executives, government leaders and dignitaries), managing logistics, and providing editorial and programming support. You will work as an independent contributor while collaborating closely with our content, programming, and events teams. The ideal candidate is highly organized, independently motivated, and exceptionally responsive — someone who anticipates needs before being asked, and remains calm and professional under pressure.
While this is a remote role, there is an expectation of on-site staffing and participation at Semafor’s flagship events as needed. Preference to candidates based in Washington DC or New York.
