With +paid staff and contractors of around 35 engineers and operational +support people, plus many volunteers all over the world who contribute +to our work, the Tor Project is funded in part by government grants +and contracts, as well as by individual, foundation, and corporate +donations. Our mission is "To advance human rights and freedoms by +creating and deploying free and open anonymity and privacy +technologies, supporting their unrestricted availability and use, and +furthering their scientific and popular understanding." + +We are currently seeking an Executive Director to lead the +organization into our next phase of growth and sustainability. This +position can be based anywhere, as our work is international in +scope. This person must be able to communicate regularly with the +staff working on the ground at our organizational headquarters in +Seattle. This position reports directly to the Tor Project Board of +Directors. + +The Executive Director sets the tone for the organization, thinks +strategically, and provides leadership and guidance in the day-to-day +operations. The Tor Project does open source software development, and +the Executive Director must be able to engage with various different +stakeholders in managing the organization. Some of the key attributes +of this person should be: + +* A strong public commitment to privacy, and a good understanding of + related debates. + +* A good understanding of open source development culture, and a + commitment to transparent organizations. + +* A strong commitment to creating and maintaining a healthy and safe + working environment, including for remote participants. + +* A talent for consensus and community building. + +* An ability to effectively support and collaborate with diverse + groups of people. + +* A willingness to share responsibility and leadership of the + organization with a leadership team. + +* An enthusiasm for coaching and developing emerging leaders. + +* A natural leadership ability that encourages and empowers others to + do their best work. + +* Strong written and verbal communications skills. + +Some of the key requirements of this position are at least five years +or equivalent experience in each of the following areas: + +* Nonprofit fundraising, including raising money from government + contracts and grants, foundations, corporations and individual + contributions; + +* Talking to and working with the press, including being active and + visible in promoting organizational goals and enhancing the + organization's image; + +* Solid, hands-on, budget management skills, including budget + preparation, analysis, decision-making and reporting; + +* Human resource administration, including working with a leadership + team and hiring and firing experience; + +* Working closely with a board of directors; + +* Non-profit operations, including managing an office and planning + events, ideally remotely; and + +* Running a corporation of at least $3 million in yearly revenue, + including an ability to recognize when outside professional + assistance is required. + +The successful candidate will have a global perspective on privacy and +censorship issues and an ability to balance "survival issues" (like +next year's funding) with "mission issues" (like making sure we're +actually moving our programs in a good direction). This person will +have the ability to work remotely and work with remote workers. To +this end, this person must be willing to adapt to daily use of privacy +enhancing technologies used to communicate with others.
