Event Associate, HQ Events & Experiences

Stand Together is a philanthropic community that helps America’s boldest changemakers tackle the root causes of our country’s biggest problems, from education to the economy, broken communities, and toxic division, among dozens of other pressing issues. We provide our partners with access to resources including funding, thought leadership, a network of peers, and a playbook for applying proven principles to transform lives and society.

As an Event Associate, HQ Events & Experiences, you will own the planning and execution of high-quality meetings, events, and experiences at Stand Together’s Ballston Exchange headquarters. You will partner closely with internal teams across the Stand Together community to understand their objectives, translate those goals into thoughtful event experiences, and coordinate the people, spaces, technology, hospitality, and other capabilities needed to bring each event to life.

From initial discovery through event execution and follow-up, you will serve as a trusted event partner—anticipating needs, navigating changing priorities, and helping internal business partners create experiences that foster connection, collaboration, and meaningful progress toward Stand Together’s vision. This approach reflects Stand Together’s emphasis on empowering people, creating value for others, and enabling bottom-up contributions toward a shared vision.

Our Values: Working for an organization within the Stand Together philanthropic community is different from many other places. The culture is deeply rooted in Principle Based Management® (PBM®), a framework guided by the principles that drive human progress, such as dignity, openness, and bottom-up empowerment. PBM® empowers employees to be entrepreneurial, to innovate, and to continually drive transformation.

We believe diversity fuels creativity, broadens knowledge, and helps drive success. That is why we’re proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer and strive to treat all employees and applicants with honesty, dignity, and respect.

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.

For this role, the anticipated base salary range is $70,000–$85,000 per year. This role may also be eligible for additional bonus compensation designed to align total compensation with an employee’s overall contribution to the organization.

Our Principles-Based Management™ (PBM) compensation philosophy is grounded in an individualized approach that rewards the long-term value each person creates for the organization. Compensation decisions are informed by a variety of factors, including relevant experience, capabilities, demonstrated skills, role responsibilities, and expected contribution. Consistent with this approach, base salary may vary within or outside of the anticipated range based on these considerations.
