Global Voices seeks a director for our Advox Project
<https://advox.globalvoices.org>, to lead our work on technology and
rights.  Please share with your networks!

https://globalvoices.org/2021/05/27/global-voices-seeks-a-director-for-our-advox-project-to-lead-our-work-on-technology-and-rights

Global Voices is seeking a director to lead our Advox project, to guide our
editorial reporting, research, activism and advocacy on freedom of
expression and digital rights and technology.

We are seeking candidates with deep knowledge of global digital rights
issues, experience conceptualizing and building media, research and
advocacy projects, working with data, writing about and advocating for
digital and online human rights, and working with a globally distributed
team.

We are especially interested in candidates with experience working on or
researching the relationship between technology and authoritarian
governance and rights-restricting regimes.

Global Voices is a global, virtual media organization with staff,
contractors and volunteer contributors on every continent. Our contributors
undertake writing, research, advocacy and translation to highlight stories
and perspectives from around the world that are underrepresented in
international mainstream media.

We recognize that universal human rights to free expression, access to
information, and privacy are being challenged by governments, companies,
and other powerful actors worldwide. We believe that the Global Voices
community is uniquely positioned to document and explain these threats. Our
Advox project aims to leverage our great strength – our networks, our
knowledge, and the voices we amplify – to demonstrate the many ways that
technology can either enable or violate human rights, with a particular
focus on free expression.

The Advox director will guide these efforts, both as a leader and as a
mentor to our many community members who are working to highlight threats
to digital rights and free expression in their own communities. The
director will serve as a bridge between the Global Voices community and
other key communities and networks of digital rights activists and experts
around the world. The ideal candidate will demonstrate an ability to
support, connect and amplify the many voices speaking out on these issues.

The Advox director will work with our distributed community of volunteers
and our newsroom team to oversee strategic editorial outputs under the
Advox mantle. The Advox director will also be part of Global Voices’ core
leadership team, and will participate in organization-wide management,
strategy, and leadership.

The ideal candidate will have fluency in English and at least one other
language, and at least three years of experience in the following areas:

   - Building and executing media or public-facing research projects
   - Building advocacy initiatives on digital rights issues
   - Designing and working with online community-driven or grassroots
   activism projects
   - Working in diverse, multicultural communities comprising participants
   with different levels of experience
   - A broad base of international experience, living or working in
   multiple countries
   - Be a part of digital rights networks and communities, and have deep
   familiarity with current issues and concerns in the field

And have proven skills in the following areas:

   - Writing and producing media for a global audience (in English)
   - Project management
   - Public speaking (in English)
   - Strategic fundraising
   - Communication and facilitation in multicultural settings
   - Working independently, in a distributed team
   - Designing creative and innovative approaches to complex challenges at
   the intersection of rights and networked societies
   - Using and helping others to use secure, open-source communication tools
   - All applicants should demonstrate a strong commitment to Global
   Voices’ mission and values.

There is no geographic requirement associated with this position; Global
Voices has no office or physical headquarters. Candidates must have
consistent, reliable access to broadband internet connectivity, be
comfortable working in a wholly virtual environment, and be prepared to
make around five international work trips per year. The Advocacy Director
will report to the Global Voices Executive Director and Managing Director.

We strongly welcome candidates from outside North America and Western
Europe and encourage people currently contributing to Global Voices to
apply.

The position is near full-time or full-time and will be treated as a
freelance contract.
