An exciting role for an ambitious event and product developer to take the lead in organising the first summit on party assistance in Europe and develop event-related products for PartyParty.
We are The Innovation in Politics Institute, an international non-partisan organisation that aims to strengthen democracy in Europe. To that end, we are building a community of the brightest minds in politics, from all democratic parties and on all levels of governance. Based in Vienna and Berlin, we have partners in over 15 European countries.
PartyParty is a key dimension of the Institute’s work. It is a media start-up that is becoming the go-to source for political professionals across Europe – providing actionable intelligence for those working in politics, parties and election campaigns. We tell the stories from the perspective of the people inside the machine rooms of politics, in a non-partisan, practical and cross-border way, identifying best practices through entertaining and engaging articles. Our main product at the moment is a weekly newsletter, with more to come.
