A well-established advocacy and lobbying organization with a focus on international affairs is looking to engage a highly organized Project Manager at the coordinator-level. We’re seeking an individual who brings experience in creative or media project management AND/OR live event production, for a four-month-long assignment that will be focused on managing program elements for the organization’s annual conference.

We can provide plenty of additional details regarding the employer, to the most well qualified applicants.

The payment terms for this engagement are structured differently than most temporary assignments. Instead of being paid only for the hours you work (which is the staffing industry norm), you will paid a weekly rate that will not differ from week to week. The rate will be based on the assumption that you are working 40 hours each week, but it will not be reduced if the employer's office is closed or if you take scheduled and approved time off. This policy extends to all individuals we engage to work for this particular client. The engagement also offers a limited overtime differential. Overtime will be calculated under a federally mandated formula that indicates different rates each week, depending on how many hours were worked during that week. We will be glad to provide a clear verbal overview of this payment methodology and documentation regarding the overtime policy to the most well qualified applicants.
