TED Conferences

We are a non-profit media organization that discovers and shares ideas. We produce content through events, videos, podcasts, and digital platforms, aiming to inspire new ways of thinking and action.

Our work involves finding ideas worldwide and across many fields. We create digital content for our custom and flagship events, manage marketing, and design audience experiences for conferences and year-round programs. We also handle the technical planning and delivery for our main conferences, including vendor selection, infrastructure, and on-site execution. Strategic partnerships help us fund our mission.

Our mission is to discover and share ideas. We believe “Ideas change everything.” Our partnerships team helps fund this non-profit mission.

We have between 51 and 200 employees. Our work culture is collaborative, encouraging detail-oriented individuals who can handle tasks across administration, event operations, digital publishing, and campaign coordination. We value a diverse and welcoming environment.

We offer competitive pay and full health benefits (medical, dental, vision). We provide paid family leave and flexible paid time off to support work-life balance. Employees and their dependents get free memberships to OneMedical and SpringHealth for physical and mental health. We also have a 401k plan with a company match.

For internships, we offer practical experience, mentoring, and training with experienced professionals. Interns can participate in TED events and company meetings, get a behind-the-scenes look at TED Talks and Conferences, and have flexible schedules. Interns are paid $19.00 per hour. Some roles offer remote work, though we prefer candidates in the New York Metropolitan area for East Coast hours. Certain contract roles involve remote planning with on-site work in Vancouver.
