Title: NextGen Program Coordinator
Location: Houston, Texas
Job Description:
CERAWeek by *** – the Global annual energy conference in Houston, Texas (www.ceraweek.com) – brings together global leaders to advance new ideas, insight and solutions to the biggest challenges facing the future of energy, the environment, and climate. CERAWeek is widely considered to be the most prestigious annual gathering of CEOs and Ministers from global energy and utilities, as well as automotive, manufacturing, policy and financial communities, along with a growing presence of tech. It has been described by the Financial Times as the ‘the Davos of energy,’ and by Politico as the “industry’s Super Bowl.” CNBC called it “the world’s preeminent energy conference.” CERAWeek was rated one of the top five overall “corporate leader” conferences in the world.
The Innovation Agora is a special program held at CERAWeek that focuses on the great new wave of innovation and disruptive technology and its impact on the energy future. Participants and speakers are a group of remarkable leaders and innovators from technology and energy companies, start-ups, universities, investors, and governments. The Agora features a range of sessions and experiences designed to stimulate new thinking and to explore disruptive technologies, models of innovation, and investment strategies. Sessions are dynamic and highly interactive, including dialogue and conversations with technologists, executives, and thought leaders, as well as presentations by entrepreneurs and innovators.
NextGen at CERAWeek is a strategic initiative designed to enhance collaboration between academia and industry and to attract top talent to the energy sector. It offers a platform for corporations to showcase academic partnerships and engage with promising students toward its workforce development, while faculty from universities can present critical research that requires funding. In addition to its networking opportunities, NextGen fosters private and public dialogue to advance purpose-driven research, connect students with employers, and convene senior officials to address the dual challenge of energy and climate.
Objective
As the ideal candidate, you have a background in event programming, production, and sponsorship coordination. Preferably, you are familiar with how universities function across departments, familiarity with their technology incubators and ventures, and understand various funding vehicles. You are passionate about enabling a future workforce and finding solutions to energy and climate challenges.
The role will require working collaboratively in a cross functional, matrix organization with professionals from the CERAWeek and Innovation Agora teams, as well as a broad network of senior executives, industry leaders and academic experts and administrators.
You need to be comfortable working in an agile, fast-paced and deadline-driven environment.
