Full Job Description

Louisville Public Media, a storied and dynamic public media company, seeks a Community Engagement & Events Manager to lead LPM event production and community engagement work, delivering high-quality, mission-aligned experiences — from large-scale public events like WFPK Waterfront Wednesdays to intimate gatherings with donors.

Reporting to the Chief Operating Officer (COO) and working closely with content and revenue teams, this person ensures events support audience acquisition, fundraising, and relationship-building for a dynamic public media organization.

LPM’s strategic priority is to grow awareness and deepen connection across Greater Louisville — building real relationships with communities that haven’t yet seen themselves in what we do. This role carries two connected areas of work: community engagement and event production. Together, they involve showing up consistently and intentionally in neighborhoods through recurring events, partnerships, listening sessions, and community forums; cultivating new partnerships with civic institutions, businesses, and industries; and creating civic and cultural experiences that bring Louisville together.

Events include on-site receptions and performances as well as off-site gatherings that require excellent project management, collaboration, problem-solving and customer service skills. Over time, this work turns first-time attendees into loyal audiences and members, diversifies revenue streams, and fulfills LPM’s mission of serving our diverse community.

What You’ll Do

Lead community engagement and event production efforts that build LPM’s visibility, deepen relationships, and advance our mission across Greater Louisville
Ensure events and community initiatives support audience acquisition, engagement, fundraising, and strategic goals
Pursue new partnerships with civic institutions, businesses, and neighborhoods not yet connected to LPM
Grow LPM’s reach and presence — particularly in communities that haven’t yet seen themselves in what we do— through partnering with existing events and initiatives and developing our own
Help position LPM as a trusted community convener and civic leader
Foster an environment of diversity, equity, and inclusion that upholds the organization's values and strategic goals.

Essential Duties
Community Engagement and Presence

Builds and maintains relationships with community organizations, venues, artists and neighborhood partners
Coordinates a consistent presence across Louisville and Southern Indiana neighborhoods, including communities and populations LPM is working to reach and engage with
Creates opportunities and events for community input and listening sessions
Partners with the Business Partnership Team to design sponsorship packages and plays a role in identifying potential event sponsors, vendors and partners
Represents LPM at community events as a convenor, producer, facilitator or participant
Works with the Development Coordinator to identify volunteer opportunities and schedule volunteers for events as needed

Events Planning and Production

Leads the planning and production of LPM events, working with the COO, LPM program leads and the revenue team
Own the event planning process, managing timelines, budgets, logistics and on-site execution
Coordinates with venues, vendors, volunteers and staff to promote and execute LPM events
Works in tandem with Waterfront Park and WFPK staff to plan and execute WFPK Waterfront Wednesdays
Support major donor and member engagement through tailored, high-quality experiences that align with LPM’s mission and brand
Coordinates with the Marketing Coordinator to promote events, develop event materials and maximize attendance and impact
Track event outcomes, attendance, costs, and engagement to inform future planning

What We'll Do

Compensate you at a range of $55,000 - $65,000 annual salary
Invest in your professional growth through individual direction and training
Keep you connected with our highly collaborative industry
Provide you with an excellent benefits package that includes generous paid time off, health insurance, and 401(k)
Invite you into a culture that is supportive, transparent, experimental, and accountable
Provide a flexible workplace environment where you'll divide your time between the office for meetings, team one-on-ones, and collaboration; and out in the community connecting with current and prospective partners

Key Qualifications

Required Experience

3+ years experience in successful event coordination and execution of events of all sizes.
Must have excellent written and verbal communication skills
Demonstrated ability to prioritize and execute required tasks
Team-oriented work style with strong relationship building and interpersonal skills
Must be highly organized with strong project management skills and the ability to juggle multiple projects at a time
Reliable transportation and valid driver’s license with insurance
Must be able to work occasional non-standard and weekend hours

Preferred Qualifications

Some experience in concert production is preferred
Knowledge of public event planning (obtaining permits, security, ticketing, and rentals)
Demonstrated ability to balance editorial integrity with sponsor/donor needs

Physical Requirements

Occasional local travel is required
The ability to lift, transport, set up, attend to, dismantle and remove tables, chairs, signage, small tents, and other items necessary for event execution

Is this you? Please send your resume, cover letter, and three references to [email protected].

Louisville Public Media is an equal-opportunity employer that actively seeks diversity in its workplace and offers an excellent benefits package. If this role excites you and you meet many but not all of the requirements, we encourage you to apply.
