 Hello. Please post the below job description to the website under “Project
 Manager with Product Experience.” Thank you!

 Internet Freedom Nonprofit Seeks Experienced Project Manager with Product
 Experience

 June 2018

 The Tor Project, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization advancing human
 rights and freedoms by creating and deploying free and open source
 anonymity and privacy technologies, is seeking a Project Manager with
 product experience to help coordinate our Tor Browser (desktop and
 mobile), UX, and Community teams.

 The ideal candidate has experience leading an open source project. Tor is
 developed and maintained collaboratively through the contributions of a
 diverse, global community. We work hard to choose communications tools
 that encourage participation, where every contributor is heard and
 respected. The person in this job must be a team player with excellent
 communication skills.

 The primary focus of our Product PM is to help the Browser, UX, and
 Community teams succeed by fulfilling their contractual obligations and
 meeting their roadmap goals. This person will be responsible for ensuring
 a productive, healthy work environment so all team members are able to
 contribute effectively and to the best of their abilities. All teams are
 distributed globally across multiple time zones, so the ability to
 organize and communicate via chats, email, etc., is crucial. This person
 will also be the link between the teams, volunteers, and sponsors
 (funders), and thus must have strong organizational skills and the ability
 to communicate in writing to diverse audiences.

 You will be helping teams roadmap, identify projects for grant proposals,
 manage the execution of projects, and write progress reports for sponsors.
 This is where your experience with product comes in -- your product eye
 should help facilitate discussions between all stakeholders participating
 in product decisions at Tor.

 This position will work closely with other team leads and project
 managers. This position reports directly to the Executive Director.

 Responsibilities

 •       Roadmap: provide advice to teams where needed and point them in
 the right direction; help them understand what is expected of them
 •       Coordinate the transfer of information to and between the teams,
 sponsors, and greater Tor community
 •       Organize team meetings, help your teams plan their roadmaps, and
 show the teams how to improve their processes
 •       Work with other project managers to coordinate contingencies
 within other teams’ roadmaps
 •       Work on grant proposals with the Tor Project’s Fundraising
 Director and Grant Writer by providing them with your teams’ ideas for
 projects and the personnel needed for execution
 •       Manage risks and issues that might occur while executing a project
 •       Oversee roadmap execution and monitor each team’s progress on
 their respective projects

 Qualifications:

 •       Solid UX background, with understanding of or hands-on experience
 in software development and web technologies
 •       Super organized
 •       Knowledge of how to build great processes, no matter what tools
 the teams are using
 •       Great facilitator
 •       Excellent written and verbal communication skills; ability to
 communicate with many different audiences
 •       Experience managing a team is a huge plus
 •       Knowledge of and experience with software development life-cycle
 process
 •       Experience with Free and Open Source Software culture
 •       Comfortable with transparency
 •       Excellent attention to detail
 •       General knowledge of internet technologies and security tools
 •       Prior experience working on U.S. government grants and contracts a
 plus!
 •       Willingness to travel internationally at least twice a year

 The Tor Project's workforce is smart and committed. Experience working
 with open source communities and/or a dedication to internet freedom are
 added pluses. The Tor Project currently has a paid and contract staff of
 around 35 developers and operational support staff, plus many thousands of
 volunteers who contribute to our work. The ideal candidate will be
 energetic, unflappable and flexible, and will thrive in a highly-technical
 collaborative environment.

 This is a full-time, hands-on position, which can be done remotely or in
 our office in Seattle, WA. Flexible salary, depending on experience. 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.

 To apply, send a cover letter and your resume to hr at torproject dot org
 with the subject "Project Manager - Product." Tell us why you think you're
 the right person for this job. No phone calls please!

 The Tor Project, Inc., is an equal opportunity, affirmative action
 employer.
