About the Role
Organization is seeking to expand and enrich our Board of Directors by bringing in new members, with lived and learnt experience and expertise from different backgrounds, communities and movements. We are looking for 3-4 committed humans to join our Board, who share our values and dreams, starting in early 2025. This is a unique opportunity to shape and contribute to what governance and accountability mean for a feminist collective that works at the intersections of knowledge and tech justice, across the world. Why Join Our Board? As a board member, you will support us to make connections between different contexts and struggles, and help us leverage WK? 's strengths in a constantly evolving and complex environment. You will have the opportunity to contribute to liberatory presents and futures where tech and knowledge infrastructures reflect equity, justice, and multiple lived expertises. You’ll help ensure sound fiduciary systems while reimagining and practising governance and accountability structures that challenge patriarchal and colonial-capitalist norms. Time Commitment: Approximately 10 days annually, including five board meetings (virtual, with one in-person annual gathering). Location: Primarily remote, with one annual in-person meeting. Compensation: This is an unremunerated voluntary role, with all expenses related to travel for Board work covered. Is This You? We are seeking visionary leaders aligned with our feminist and anti-oppressive politics and our commitment to liberatory knowledge, technology, and social justice. We are currently looking for 3-4 individuals, one of whom will fill the role of Treasurer, who can bring diverse skills and experiences to our board. If any of the criteria below sound like you, please tell us you’re interested! * Political alignment with our feminist values and a commitment to a just and liberatory internet through the centering of the knowledges, imaginations and leadership of the minoritized majority of the world. * Experience in accountability for and with communities and movements, including a background in non-profit governance, human rights, gender justice, or technology justice. * We’re especially interested in those who bring transformational perspectives on governance and have experience with alternative structures that challenge traditional governance systems. * We aspire for our Board to reflect plural and intersectional identities, backgrounds and expertise, particularly in terms of gender, sexuality, age, geography, ability, class and lived experience. * Additionally, we seek Board members with experience relevant to the mission focus and priorities.For our Treasurer role we seek someone with experience related to financial oversight and fiduciary responsibility (US based 501c3 and UK based CIC). We are deeply committed to building a board that reflects the richness and complexity of the communities we serve. We believe that a governance and accountability structure enriched by multiple voices and intersectional expertise, leads to more thoughtful, informed, just and liberatory strategies, decisions, and practices. How to Apply? Whilst we are an international and multilingual organisation, our operating language is English. Initial Screening: We will review applications, with an emphasis on alignment with our mission, relevant experience, and commitment to our values and principles. Interviews: Shortlisted candidates will be invited to participate in one or more interviews with our team. This is an opportunity for us to learn more about your background, interests, and vision, and for you to get a deeper understanding. Final Selection: Selected candidates will be offered a position on the board, with orientation and onboarding provided to ensure a smooth transition into the role. Onboarding and Start Date: New board members will join the board in the first quarter of 2025 with onboarding continuing through the second quarter, to build relationships and start our collaborative work. Join us in creating a just and liberatory internet!
