Anti-DRM group seeks Executive Director.

Executive Director, Open Rights Group

The Open Rights Group (ORG) is a grassroots technology organisation which exists to protect civil liberties wherever they are threatened by the poor understanding, implementation and regulation of digital technology. We call these rights our "digital rights".

From early 2009 ORG is seeking its next Executive Director. Reporting to the Board, the post requires:

  • An effective advocate/campaigner with political and media experience
  • Ability to further build ORG's reputation as a rational and relevant voice in the digital rights debate
  • Full professional responsibility for day to day operations
  • Plan and execute the medium-term strategy to keep ORG financially sustainable
  • Manage possible move to charitable status
  • Line manager for ORG staff (currently two)
  • Primary point of liaison with ORG supporters and volunteers
  • A self-starter able to build ORG even as he or she runs its daily operations.
  • It is a challenging and responsible role. Rewards include the opportunity to have a direct and substantial effect on contemporary policy, and the chance to work with some of the smartest creative minds in the place where geek world meets law, policy and activism. While this is likely to be a full time post the Board will consider part-time and job-share applications.

    Please apply with CV and covering letter to info@openrightsgroup.org . Deadline for applications is Wednesday 12 November.
