Remote with Required On-Site Presence in Los Angeles (April 4th - 6th, 2026)

Bully Pulpit International is an outcomes agency made up of strategists, data scientists, and artists.

We apply our unique expertise across strategic communications, public affairs, research, and digital marketing to create sophisticated and customized strategies that make change possible for both American and European clients.

About the Convening:

A Day of Unreasonable Conversation (UC) is an invitation-only annual summit which serves as a

trusted, curated space designed to foster honest, nuanced, and critical discourse on the most urgent

issues of our time. The gathering bridges the gap between the entertainment industry and social

impact sectors. It connects "culture shapers"—influential television writers, showrunners, producers,

executives, and digital storytellers who are literally writing the script for the world—with frontline

changemakers, advocates, philanthropists, and issue experts.

The core mission of UC is to "unlock progress through the power of stories". In a deeply polarized

moment where trust in traditional media is at a record low, the event aims to spark writers' rooms with

new ideas and give creators the tools to drive meaningful change. UC challenges storytellers to

complicate the narrative by moving beyond flat tropes and oversimplified binaries to explore the

systemic complexities of our time. Ultimately, the goal is to bring greater nuance, empathy, and truth to

the stories that shape public perception.

UC is grounded in the belief that culture is the multiplier for change at scale. Because culture sits

upstream of policy and politics, it is where people already are. Even in times of deep fracture when

people stop listening to experts or political parties, they still listen to stories. By bringing storytellers and

problem-solvers together, UC seeks to turn stage-side insights into long-term creative collaborations
that shift culture on screen and beyond.

A Day of Unreasonable Conversation is founded and produced by the social impact agency Propper

Daley x Bully Pulpit International (BPI). The event relies on cross-sector collaboration and is fully funded
by philanthropy.
Requirements

We’re hiring a Senior Director of Audience & Community , reporting directly to the Executive Director, to build and steward the community at the heart of A Day of Unreasonable Conversation. This person will own the full audience function—from strategy and curation through CRM, outreach, guest experience, day-of execution, and long-term relationship building. We’re looking for someone who sees the audience as a strategic asset and a living network, not a static guest list, and who can build and run this function with real authority and minimal oversight.

While the Day of Unreasonable Conversation is the community's annual gathering, this role is also responsible for activating that community throughout the year through small convenings (Evenings of Unreasonable Conversations), fellowships, editorial touchpoints, and ongoing relationship stewardship that keeps people connected between convenings.

Curation matters as much as headcount. We want a room with genuine diversity across perspectives, creative backgrounds, and positions in the industry. That means thinking carefully about what each person’s pr
