 Internet Freedom Nonprofit Seeks Executive Director

 The Tor Project, Inc., is a 501(c)(3) organization headquartered in
 Seattle that provides the technical infrastructure for privacy protection
 over the Internet, helping millions of activists, journalists and others
 around the world communicate securely. 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 he at lthy
 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 m0ney 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. Prior experience working
 with software development or internet people is a plus.

 The Tor Project has made a commitment to being a safe, fair, and diverse
 workplace.  Our new Executive Director must be committed to these values
 and to continuing to foster a welcoming work environment.

 Salary is commensurate with experience and other qualifications. The Tor
 Project has a competitive benefits package, including a generous PTO
 policy; 14 paid holidays per year (including the week between Christmas
 and New Year's, when the office is closed); health, vision, dental,
 disability, and life insurance paid in full for employee; flexible work
 schedule; and occasional travel opportunities. The Tor Project, Inc., is
 an equal opportunity, affirmative action employer.

 This is a full-time position working either out of our office in Seattle
 or remotely. To apply, send a cover letter explaining why you believe you
 should be our next Executive Director, along with your resume, to
 edsearch at torproject.org with “Executive Director - [Your First and Last
 Name]” in the subject line.  No phone calls please!
