The Center sponsors basic, original scholarship and dialogue covering both international and domestic issues through its programmatic offices.
The Director, Events and Strategic Partnerships is located at the Wilson Center and leads the development, scheduling, coordination, and administration of all Wilson Center event programming.
The successful candidate must possess the capacity to think strategically coupled with the ability to excel operationally. The candidate for this role needs to be results oriented, have strong management skills, and work enthusiastically in a constantly changing environment.
