City Cast DC, Events Manager
City Cast is hiring an Events Manager to build and run City Cast DC’s live events program. We’re DC’s fastest-growing local news operation, with a daily podcast, web articles, email newsletters, and social media content. Now we want to bring our audience together in person. We need a creative, well-organized, well-connected person who knows what’s happening in DC, knows what it takes to plan and execute a great event, and can help turn those events into audience growth and member loyalty.
You’ll report to the City Cast DC General Manager and work closely with our editorial team, our national marketing and membership teams, and City Cast’s product and operations teams. This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role. You’ll shape how DC experiences City Cast in person, from free public events that introduce new people to our brand to subscriber-only gatherings that make membership worth it.
Application Due: November 10, 2026
