+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 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. 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.
