The posting

Who we are

Semafor is a global news platform for an increasingly complex world in which consumers are overwhelmed by too many news sources and unsure what to trust. We are building Semafor to enable world-class journalists to deliver reporting and insights with rigor in journalistic forms that ensure a new level of transparency. Our editors and reporters distill the most important stories from all over in formats that uncover the forces shaping the stories, explain the interests behind polarizing narratives, and replenish the stock of shared facts. As a global platform, Semafor recognizes that smart people can disagree and that informed readers need to understand alternative points of view from competing centers of power and culture in a multi-polar world. Want to join us? Read on.

About this Role

Semafor seeks recent college graduates with experience working in communications, on Capitol Hill, or within executive offices to support our flagship live journalism events in a temporary role to prepare our journalists, speakers, and attendees for participation at our flagship convening, Silicon Valley & The World. You will collaborate with our content, programming, and events teams to develop briefing materials, prepare background research, gather biographies, and organize key event logistical information. The ideal candidate is highly organized and has an extreme attention to detail, independently motivated, and exceptionally responsive. This is more than an administrative and operations role; it is a fast-paced command center position at the intersection of media, live production, and executive operations.

Your Responsibilities

  • Compile and synthesize complex logistical information.
  • Draft, format, and distribute briefing packets for VIP speakers, moderators, and attendees.
  • Research key talking points and gather speaker and attendee biographies.
  • Support Semafor’s events team with other duties as required in preparation for the event.

What makes you qualified

  • 1–2 years of experience in journalism, communications, Capitol Hill, or executive assistance in a high-velocity environment (Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience)
  • Impeccable judgment, comfort with ambiguity, and a calm, customer-service-driven composure when details change
  • Exceptional project management skills with the strongest attention to detail and an ability to manage multiple tasks, deadlines, and competing priorities
  • Strongest communication skills, both written and verbal
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office suite, especially Excel and Word, and Google Workspace

Compensation:

  • The hourly rate for this position will be $32.00 USD. Individual compensation varies based on job related factors, including business needs, experience, level of responsibility, and qualifications.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
