The Senior Program Manager for the Connected Civil Society Initiative will

effectively using cutting-edge technology, including machine learning. The
Senior Program Manager will coordinate with partners to implement these
tools and deliver effective, usable evidence to investigators and justice
mechanisms. The Senior Program Manager will also serve as an expert in
their field, providing internal and external strategic thought leadership,
and take on oversight of additional projects, contingent upon funding.
