As an integral member of the League team, the Operations Coordinator will help provide the organizational foundation for the League’s ambitious program of events, publications, and other projects that seek to create stimulating opportunities for the presentation and discussion of significant work; encourage the development of young designers; increase openness and inclusion in architecture; and address critical issues in the built environment, including climate change.
