City Innovation, Aspen Institute
Aspen Institute seeks an experienced program coordinator to assist with the execution of Bloomberg CityLab and expansion of the event to drive year-round dialogue and action on urban issues and solutions. Bloomberg CityLab, a project of the Aspen Institute and Bloomberg Philanthropies, convenes artists, academics, funders, and other public and private sector leaders focused on improving cities and spreading urban strategies that work. Since 2013, CityLab has occurred in New York, Los Angeles, London, Miami, Paris, Detroit, Washington, DC, and Amsterdam. This year’s event will take place in Mexico City. The multi-day gathering shares creative ideas and solutions with city leaders to create inclusive and thriving communities.
ABOUT THIS ROLE
This Program Associate will support the Director of City Innovation, Aspen Institute's existing partnership with the Government Innovation team at Bloomberg Philanthropies, and the Aspen CityLab team to develop and execute content for the annual Bloomberg CityLab event.

The ideal candidate brings an entrepreneurial and creative mindset with strong data and project management experience, and an appreciation for excellent customer service, detail, problem solving, and teamwork.
