Teams at Our National Conversation (ONC)

Leads ONC’s editorial team and publication pipeline by managing calendars, deadlines, meetings, processes, recruiting, onboarding, training, editorial standards, sourcing accuracy, brand alignment, and cross-team projects. The role primarily coordinates and develops writers and editors rather than producing content independently. This is an unpaid internship.

Produces ONC podcast episodes by researching outlines, writing, recording, editing, and publishing content. Creates episode titles, thumbnails, short-form reels, and platform descriptions, while developing audience targeting and engagement strategies. Collaborates remotely through Slack, email, and Zoom, meets content-calendar deadlines, and supports podcast reach through social media and marketing ideas.

Writes political content, including OpEds and policy proposals, while supporting ONC’s nonpartisan mission. Collaborates with writers across ideological perspectives, participates in civil dialogue, podcasts, events, and weekly meetings, and maintains consistent communication in a remote environment. The intern must produce high-quality work, meet deadlines, and demonstrate interest in one or more policy areas. Exceptional writers may contribute to a book project.
