EFF Seeks a Latin American Community Development Coordinator

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), a nonprofit civil society
organization based in San Francisco, is looking for a Latin American
Community Development Coordinator to support its work in the region.

Responsibilities include:


   - Communicating our (often complex) technical and policy issues to
   everyday citizens in a clear, compelling, and concise voice in Spanish and
   English;
   - Writing, co-writing, editing, and proofreading blog posts in Spanish
   about EFF’s work in Latin America as events unfold;
   - Monitoring emerging trends and developments in Latin America in the
   areas of human rights in the digital environment via social networks,
   Twitter, traditional media outlets, etc.; and
   - Meeting with EFF partners in Latin America to provide support on
   issues relating to the Internet and human rights, including ensuring that
   events are run successfully.


This ideal candidate is enthusiastic, committed and passionate about
technology and human rights. Along with the writing aspects of the work,
the role also requires tedious administrative work to organize online
discussions and workshops in Latin America.

Requirements:

   - Knowledge of issues related to digital rights generally, and
   preferably in Latin America;
   - Openness and ability to learn new issues quickly and comprehensively;
   - Intellectual curiosity;
   - Oral and written fluency in Spanish;
   - Ability to write clearly, persuasively, and quickly for a range of
   audiences in Spanish;
   - Ability to communicate comfortably and clearly in English;
   - Experience maintaining and contributing to online media, including
   blogs and social media;
   - Good organizational and administrative skills;
   - Ability to work under strict deadlines and/or time constraints, to
   prioritize your workload to meet deadlines, and to multitask; and
   - Willingness to travel within Latin America (no more than 20%).


EFF’s new Latin American Community Development Coordinator is a team player
with strong interpersonal skills who can also work independently. This
person is self-motivated and
has a positive attitude and can-do approach. This position is for an
individual who can focus on solutions, proactively and creatively seeking
out opportunities for process improvement.

In addition, knowledge of or experience with any of the following would be
advantageous:


   - A degree or comparable experience in communications or Spanish
   writing;
   - Experience organizing online campaigns; and
   - Ability to write clearly, persuasively, and quickly for a range of
   audiences in Portuguese.


The Latin American Community Development Coordinator is a new consultant
position and is based in Latin America. This person will report directly to
EFF’s International Rights Director, Katitza Rodriguez. The salary for this
position is USD 20,000 annually. To apply, send a cover letter and resume
in Spanish and English, along with two writing samples in Spanish, to
jobs at eff.org.  No phone calls please!

Closing date for applications: 31 January 2015 (midnight)
Interviews will be held the week of 10 February 2015.
