About Us

Social Media Role Description

The Migraine World Summit is an annual live event held each year in March or April. It is available for free online.

The Migraine World Summit provides an opportunity to improve understanding of migraine and headache disorders for people living with migraine and their caregivers by providing access to leading headache experts from around the world.

Our mission is to reduce the global burden of migraine. By giving access to many of the world’s top practitioners, information is shared that can be discussed with viewers’ own healthcare professionals to improve their health and wellness.

ROLE OVERVIEW

Variety of roles within the team, including:

• Engagement (commenting, responding to questions, etc.)
• Video editing
• Research
• Content creation
• Creative ways to spread brand awareness and education.
• Please note that we also need people able to comment and reply to messages about where to find answers and resources to migraine-related questions.

If desired, this can be your only role on the team and is a valuable way to contribute if you feel you have this ability but are not familiar or comfortable with other social media roles.

In your application, please specify which role(s) you are interested in, and if you have prior experience in any of the categories.

The Social Media Team at the Migraine World Summit helps fulfill our mission by creating a welcoming, compassionate, and informed space across platforms like Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok and YouTube. We often connect with individuals seeking migraine or chronic illness support for the first time, aiming to make them feel seen, supported, and empowered.

Whether replying to comments, creating content, or tracking trends, our volunteers bring empathy and connection to every interaction. If you’re passionate about community, social media, and migraine awareness, this could be a meaningful role for you.

No advanced social media skills required! Many of our most impactful volunteers started with only personal social media experience. Our greatest need is help with simply replying to comments. If you can engage with empathy and understand the challenges of migraine, you can make a real difference. Don’t let doubt hold you back from helping thousands feel supported online.

Email Marketing Team Role Description

The Migraine World Summit is an annual live event held each March. It is available for free online while the event is live.

The Summit offers a valuable opportunity for people living with migraine and other headache disorders, as well as their caregivers, to hear directly from many of the world’s leading migraine experts, doctors, and specialists.

Our mission is to reduce the global burden of migraine by making expert-led information more accessible. The knowledge shared during the Summit can help inform conversations with healthcare providers and support improved health and wellness.

ROLE OVERVIEW

The Email Marketing Team plays a key role in supporting the Migraine World Summit year-round, with the workload varying by season.

From June to January, volunteers create weekly emails that summarize key points from the previous March’s expert interviews. In the two months leading up to the Summit, emails become more frequent and focus on promoting the event, engaging our audience, and welcoming new subscribers. During the Summit, daily emails highlight each day’s events and guide viewers through the content. Post-Summit, emails help maintain engagement and facilitate a smooth transition back to the regular weekly cadence in June.

This role is not about starting from a blank page. The Email Marketing Team works from established templates, examples from previous years, interview transcripts, and proven best practices. Much of the work involves refining, updating, adapting, and improving existing material so that each email is clear, accurate, engaging, and aligned with the Migraine World Summit voice.

Typically, one team member drafts an email based on an interview transcript using a set format. A second team member reviews and edits the draft to ensure clarity, accuracy, and polish.

This role is primarily focused on email content drafting, editing, and review. It does not require responsibility for email platform management, audience segmentation, automation setup, or campaign analytics.

QUALITIES

• You enjoy reading, writing, editing, and improving communication. You do not need to create every message from scratch, but you should enjoy making existing content clearer, warmer, more concise, and more useful for the reader.
• You have strong editing skills and enjoy the editing process.
• You have an eye for grammatical errors and enjoy making text clearer, more concise, and more engaging.
• You are comfortable working within established templates, examples, editorial guidelines, and the existing Migraine World Summit tone of voice.
• You welcome feedback on your writing and see editing as an opportunity to grow.
• You are happy to enhance and improve existing material rather than reinventing it.
• You can write clearly about migraine-related topics in an accessible, informative way.
• You’re comfortable distilling information from an expert interview transcript into a focused email.
• You’re happy to work remotely with a distributed team, communicating in a timely manner to complete collaborative work.
• You can meet deadlines and support project timelines.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Attend an initial MWS onboarding meeting.
• Participate in Email Marketing training sessions.
• Self-schedule and complete writing or review assignments according to deadlines.
• Adapt prior email examples and templates for current-year use.
• Review email drafts for clarity, tone, accuracy, structure, and alignment with source transcripts.
• Communicate progress and flag any delays or issues to team leaders.
• Join weekly team meetings during the two-month lead-up to the Summit, and biweekly meetings during the remainder of the year.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Excellent written communication skills.
• Ability to absorb complex information and distill it into clear, concise messages.
• Strong attention to detail.
• Familiarity with migraine and headache disorders, or a willingness to learn and follow established guidance carefully.
• Comfortable using or learning tools, including Google Docs and Slack.
• Ability to review content thoroughly to ensure accuracy, clarity, and quality.
• Willingness to stay engaged throughout the year (with flexibility for breaks).
• Experience with AI tools, or a willingness to learn, is helpful. However, human judgement, accuracy, empathy, and careful editing remain essential.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE (helpful, but not required)

• Professional writing
• Editing
• Technical platform use
• Communications

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Location: Remote

Time Commitment: This role requires approximately 2 hours per week throughout the year. During the two months leading up to the March Summit, time commitments may increase to 3-4 hours per week to accommodate additional planning and coordination needs. During the live Summit period, turnaround times may be shorter, although assignments are planned in advance wherever possible.

THIS ROLE IS IDEAL FOR YOU IF…

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys improving existing content, summarising expert information, and helping emails feel clear, useful, and supportive for people living with migraine. It may not be the best fit for someone looking for a blank-page creative copywriting role or full ownership of email marketing strategy.

The Migraine World Summit is an annual live event held each year in March. It is available for free online.

The Migraine World Summit provides an opportunity to improve understanding of migraine and headache disorders for people living with migraine and their caregivers by providing access to leading headache experts from around the world.

Our mission is to reduce the global burden of migraine. By giving access to many of the world’s top practitioners, information is shared that can be discussed with viewers’ healthcare professionals to improve their health and wellness.

ROLE OVERVIEW

The Migraine World Summit runs year-round on the work of a dedicated volunteer team, and behind that work is a great deal of coordination, scheduling, and organization. As an Administrative Assistant, you will provide direct support to the Director of Operations, helping keep projects, communications, and day-to-day details organized so the wider team can do its best work.

This is a new role for MWS, which means there is real opportunity in it: we will shape and refine it together as we learn what support is most valuable. You will work closely with the Director of Operations, who will help you get oriented and grow into the role.

Because the Summit follows an annual cycle, the workload in this role varies through the year — quieter in some stretches and busier as the Summit approaches. We estimate it will range from 0 to 15 hours per week depending on where we are in the cycle. If you appreciate variety and a role that flexes with the calendar, that rhythm may suit you well.

QUALITIES

• You are highly organized and enjoy bringing order to tasks, schedules, and information.
• You are reliable and follow through; things you take on get done.
• You communicate clearly, warmly, and professionally.
• You are comfortable with a role that varies week to week, and you can flex with a busy season and a quiet one.
• You work well independently, are happy to ask questions, and enjoy being genuinely helpful to others.
• You are discreet and trustworthy with sensitive or in-progress information.
• You are comfortable using — or willing and able to learn — digital tools.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Responsibilities will be shaped together over time, and may include:

• Supporting scheduling and coordination, helping arrange meetings and projects across global time zones and keeping track of dates and follow-ups.
• Helping organize documents, files, and shared resources so information is easy to find.
• Assisting with drafting, formatting, or proofreading internal communications and materials.
• Helping track tasks and deadlines across projects and following up to keep things moving.
• Providing general organizational support to the Director of Operations as needs arise.
• Staying up-to-date on internal happenings by attending semi-regular one-on-one meetings with the Director of Operations and occasional full-MWS-team Town Halls, as well as reading internal communications.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
• Clear, professional written and verbal communication
• Reliability and the ability to manage your own time across a varying workload
• Comfort using or learning everyday digital tools (e.g., Gmail, Google Drive, Google Docs, Slack, Zoom)
• Discretion and good judgment with sensitive information

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE (helpful, but not required)

• Administrative, coordination, executive support, or project support experience in any setting
• Experience working remotely or with distributed teams
• Comfort with scheduling and organizational tools

A NOTE ON CONNECTION TO MIGRAINE

Nearly everyone at MWS has a personal connection to migraine — their own experience, or that of someone close to them — and it is part of what makes this work meaningful. A genuine connection to, and awareness of, the migraine experience is preferred for this role, as it helps you understand the community we serve and the volunteers you support.

Interviewer Role Description

The Migraine World Summit is an annual live event held each March. It is available for free online while the event is live.

The Summit offers a valuable opportunity for people living with migraine and other headache disorders, as well as their caregivers, to hear directly from many of the world’s leading migraine experts, doctors, and specialists.

Our mission is to reduce the global burden of migraine by making expert-led information more accessible. The knowledge shared during the Summit can help inform conversations with healthcare providers and support improved health and wellness.

ROLE OVERVIEW

Each year, the Migraine World Summit brings the questions of our community directly to the world’s leading migraine and headache experts. The people who conduct those conversations shape how hundreds of thousands of people understand their condition, and the quality of their interviewing is a large part of why the Summit is a trusted resource. It’s a role we hold to a high standard.

We’re opening a small number of new interviewer positions for the 2027 Summit. This is a selective, high-impact role, and we’re looking for talented candidates to join our interviewing team. If this sounds like you, we’d welcome your application.

What we’re looking for:

• On-air presence and poise. You’re comfortable and natural on camera — warm, composed, and engaging to watch and listen to. Past on-air or recorded speaking experience (interviews, presenting, hosting, broadcast, podcasting, public speaking) is a strong preference, though not an absolute requirement if your audition demonstrates the ability clearly.
• Active, responsive listening. You follow the conversation in the moment rather than working through a fixed list of questions. This includes probing, following up, and drawing clarification from experts.
• Clear, engaging communication. You speak clearly and concisely, and you can make complex topics accessible without losing their substance.
• Knowledge of migraine and our community. You understand people living with migraine, and you can hold an expert conversation to help fill knowledge gaps and needs. Lived experience is valuable here.
• Preparation and rigor. You’re willing to research deeply and build a strong interview guide with support from the MWS co-hosts. This is critical to well-prepared and helpful interviews.

Familiarity with our interviews is essential — you can watch examples from the 2026 Summit here.

What we provide:

Training, materials, guidance from our team, and the support to grow into the logistics of the role. You’ll be joining a group that takes real pride in this work and in what it does for our community.

How to apply:

Because this role is so central to the Summit, applying takes two steps:

1. A short application form — background, relevant experience, availability, and a few questions about your interest and approach.
2. A short audition video. Rather than asking you to tell us how you’d interview, we’d like to see you on camera. Details below.

Your audition video

We’d like a short video so we can see you on camera and get a feel for how you’d open and lead an interview. Here’s what to do:

• Pick your expert. Choose a migraine or headache expert you’d genuinely want to interview at the Summit, real or hypothetical. Tell us briefly who they are and why.
• Set up your interview. Introduce the conversation as you would on the day, then deliver your opening that introduces the topic and expert within 30-90 seconds. Then ask your first few questions. Think of it as the first few minutes of the interview, from your side.
• Show us your preparation. Let your research show — the questions that matter most to our community, asked in a way that would draw a great expert out.

Keep it to 2-3 minutes, with most of that being you speaking. A professional setup isn’t required, but do record in the setting you’d actually use to conduct interviews, so we can get an understanding of what you’re able to produce in your environment.

What we’re assessing

Your on-screen presence, confidence, energy, and comfort on camera, along with the quality of your questions and your knowledge of the subject. You do not need to script a full back-and-forth — we’re watching how you come across and how you’d lead, not staging a full interview. (If you advance, you’ll do a live mock interview with us, where we’ll see how you respond in the moment.)

How to submit your video

Upload your video directly through this application form (max file size: 100 MB). A self-recording from your phone or computer is perfectly fine — and since a 2-3 minute video can occasionally bump against that limit at high resolution, the link options below are there if your file runs large.

If you’re not able to upload directly — or your file is too big — you have two alternatives:

• Upload to your own Vimeo or YouTube account as an unlisted video and paste the link in the “Video Link” field.
• Send it via WeTransfer to [email protected], and note that you’ve done so in the questions box.

Important expectations

Interviewers must be willing to follow MWS editorial guidance, prepare thoroughly, meet agreed deadlines, and represent the Summit in a professional, respectful, and evidence-informed way. Final topic assignments and expert pairings are determined by the MWS team.

A note on selectivity:

We only bring on a small number of interviewers, so this is a competitive process and most applicants won’t move forward. This is not a reflection of your ability, simply the nature of a role with very few openings. We’re grateful to everyone who takes the time to apply. If you’re selected, you’ll play a genuinely pivotal part in reaching people living with migraine around the world.

Deadline: July 31st
