Since its founding in 1946, FEE has been committed to inspiring and educating individuals on the values of personal freedom, entrepreneurship, and sound economic thinking.

This is an opportunity for a driven builder to combine a passion for the foundational concepts in economic freedom with expertise in program management, curriculum design, external affairs, and high-impact event execution.   This role owns the full product lifecycle of FEE's seminar experiences — primarily in DC, with some programming in Ottawa — from concept and curriculum development through logistics, partner acquisition and coordination, and on-the-ground execution. Programs serve intellectually curious students, recent graduates, and institutional partners and cover economics, entrepreneurship, financial literacy, technology and innovation, and the foundational principles of free and prosperous societies. The ideal candidate brings knowledge of economic frameworks from classical economics, Austrian economics, and Public Choice Theory, familiarity with current US public policy issues, a systems-thinking mindset, thrives in fast-moving environments, and understands that the best educational experiences don't just teach ideas — they awaken and inspire participants, forever changing how they see the world.   The North America Programs Manager will be based out of FEE’s Dupont-Circle office. In-person employment is expected. This position reports to the Director of Student Programs and works closely with FEE’s DC-based Chief Programs and Innovation Officer. The Programs Manager will supervise one direct report.
