The UK Open Rights Group, a group that campaigns for digital rights, is hiring a new executive director — this could be the job of a lifetime for the right person!
ORG now needs a full time Executive Director (ED) to build our supporter numbers and expand our activities. The ED reports to the ORG Board, and has the support of an Advisory Council of digital rights experts.
The ED will be a passionate, professional and decisive self-starter who can prioritise a substantial work load, manage staff, lead volunteers and talk eloquently to the media. She/he will be responsible for:
* Maintaining a sustainable organisation in terms of numbers of members and staff, participation, income, public profile and reputation.
* Preparing and executing ORG's strategy based on a balance of media work and policy influence.
* Increasing the public's understanding of, and engagement with, a range of digital rights issues.
(Thanks, Suw!)
