Job Description

We are seeking a replacement for our outgoing Technical Projects Coordinator. We’re looking for someone who shares our enthusiasm for defending and promoting human rights, with an interest in developing solutions that protect people from indiscriminate Internet surveillance and various forms of online censorship.

  • Communicate about our projects to external audiences, including speaking at conferences
  • Contribute to company strategy and funding applications
  • Lead the recruitment of technical staff and share responsibility for their line management

This role may change as the needs of the business evolve therefore employees may be required to perform tasks or assume responsibilities other than those listed in this job description.

  • Exposure to working in a non-profit environment and partnering with NGOs and civil society
  • A keen interest in developing solutions that protect people from indiscriminate Internet surveillance and censorship
  • Some background in digital opsec or crypto or networking
