The PR Coordinator will manage the publicity and logistics for two of the Center’s marquee broadcast and fundraising events: Kennedy Center Honors (annually in December) and the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor (annually in the spring), working collaboratively with internal departments and serving as a liaison with Honorees and their support teams, managers, and publicists, broadcasters, as well as helping to secure and manage broad national coverage for both events.

As a member of the larger Public Relations team, from time to time this role will assist with collecting, editing, and routing content for the production of digital programs (the Center’s version of program books). As the Center embarks on its next 50 years, we commit to being a hub for innovation, impact, and integrity. To this end, we strive to be a more nimble organization poised to embrace risk and exploration with intention. The Center is not just a building; it is a campus that is alive with opportunity and a place where art is celebrated as essential to everyone. As we uplift our wide range of artistic genres on our stages, we are also uniquely positioned to realize the potential for national collaboration and partnership, upgrading our campus to be a more welcoming destination, and expanding our reach and impact through our digital platforms. This position will be central to the institution’s storytelling efforts and work across departments to deliver on the Center’s fervent belief that the arts can be used for life-changing non-arts outcomes. Special projects will vary and evolve from season to season. The PR Coordinator will also provide additional media outreach and support as needed for other major events and happenings, artistic or otherwise, to ensure a high level of public awareness and achievement of the institution’s earned and contributed goals.
