About the Role
FEE seeks a detail-oriented, highly organized coordinator with a passion for creating world-class educational experiences that awaken and inspire further exploration of and advocacy for the ideas of freedom. The Educator Engagement Associate keeps the gears turning behind our work with educators, students, and Economics Clubs nationwide. You will ensure data is accurate, resources reach educators on time, and events run seamlessly while gaining hands-on exposure to curriculum development, educator outreach, and event planning. This role sits at the operational heart of FEE's educator engagement strategy, supporting the programs and pathways that move teachers and students from first contact toward deep, lasting alignment with the principles of a free society.
This is an entry-level role, ideal for someone early in their career who is highly organized, enjoys systems and follow-through, has a grasp of classical liberal economic concepts, and an interest in contributing to world-class educational experiences that awaken educators and their students to a lens-changing understanding of economic freedom and equips and inspires them to teach others.
No specific degree is required, though familiarity with history, political philosophy, and economic theory is helpful. Comfort with spreadsheets, AI technology, CRM tools, and written communication is essential.
There is room to grow into curriculum development, educator outreach strategy, or program management roles based on interest and performance.
