The Architectural League seeks a highly engaged, energetic individual who is deeply interested in architecture and the built environment to serve as Program Manager. As an integral member of the League team, the Program Manager works closely with the Program Director to organize the League’s ambitious programming, including lectures, competitions, mentorship programs, publications, exhibitions, and other projects. League programs create stimulating opportunities for the presentation and discussion of significant work; encourage the development of young designers; promote equity and inclusion in architecture; and address critical issues in the built environment.

The Program Manager’s responsibilities center on the planning and production of the League’s annual programs—including Current Work, Emerging Voices, the League Prize, and other series—including researching program participants; coordinating publicity materials and preparing content for the website; receiving competition submissions and organizing materials for juries; managing payments to program participants; and serving as logistical liaison to program participants, including speakers, firms, schools, and students.

Candidates should be available to begin working remotely on June 15, 2021 with a projected return to working in the League office immediately after Labor Day. This is a full-time position.

While the League staff is currently working remotely, we anticipate returning to our office and therefore the Program Manager must be located in, or willing to relocate to, the New York City region. We cannot pay relocation expenses. The salary range for this position is $52,000 to $57,000, depending on experience. Benefits include health insurance and paid time off (vacation, sick days, personal days), as well as a subsidized unlimited monthly Metrocard once work ceases to be remote. We strongly encourage people of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, people with disabilities, and others who may contribute to the diversity of perspectives on the League staff to apply.

Requirements

The position requires a well-organized individual who is enthusiastic about working with others and has strong attention to detail. Demonstrated interest and job experience related to architecture and the built environment are required, as are excellent interpersonal and writing skills. Ideally, the Program Manager will have experience in event planning and logistics. The Program Manager will be expected to work at League evening lectures and occasional weekend programs, whether online or in-person. A successful candidate should have basic skills in WordPress and, ideally, moderate to advanced skills in Adobe Creative Suite, specifically Photoshop and InDesign. Familiarity with Zoom is preferred and video editing skills are a plus.
