Summary
The Community Resources team distributes funds and other resources via several participatory grantmaking programs, aimed at supporting mission-aligned organizations, groups, and individuals around the world. These programs support a variety of inspiring community-driven experiments, projects and programs, from outreach and events to research and tool-building.
The Program Officer works in coordination with volunteer grant committees to distribute these funds and other resources. They work across the different grant portfolios, with a focus on managing Conference & Event Grants for this next year and possibly beyond. In light of our new movement strategy, we will be restructuring our grant programs to transition to an improved resourcing model with a focus on supporting marginalized knowledge and communities.
The Conference & Event Grants program provides funding and planning support to groups to host local, regional, or thematic conferences that bring Wikimedians together for experience sharing, skill building, and networking. Recent conferences took place in Tunisia, Indonesia, Sweden, Korea, Mexico, Argentina, and more. The Program Officer works with applicants to develop proposals, review applications and reports, administer grants, and provide support during the conference planning process to support effective events in our communities.
Responsibilities:
Oversee the Conference Grants program, working with committees and grants administrator as needed to move applicants and grantees through the entire process.
Solicit and review grant proposals, including providing analysis and appropriate guidance to applicants in the pre-planning stage and coordinating committee review.
Evaluate new grant applications for eligibility and monitor for compliance as needed. Coordinate with other Program Officers as necessary to understand how new grant applications may impact applicants and their communities.

Ensure grants include clear goals and effective measures of success, and help grantees measure and track their progress. Develop strategies for tracking short and long term outcomes.

Provide guidance on implementing friendly space policies for events and support resolution of issues that arise.
Facilitate or lead constructive discussion about grant proposals online and offline (including enforcing the friendly space expectations), and involve staff and community members where their guidance is needed. Negotiate a mutual agreement on a way forward with applicants and grantees, where possible.
Work with the grants administrator to shepherd each grant through the approvals process in a timely way. Review and process changes to current grants.
Review open grant reports and provide applicants with timely constructive feedback.
Develop resources to guide grantees through planning, application, event management, and reporting. Maintain these resources on the grantmaking portals, and proactively support others in knowing about and using these resources.
Participate in annual planning process and tracking of the Conference Grants budget throughout the year.
Maintain accurate grant data in Fluxx and other relevant tracking systems.
The Program Officer works within the Foundation's Community Resources team, under the management of the Senior Program Officer. The position involves some international travel (2-4 trips a year).
Requirements:
At least 2 years of experience in program or project management with a track record of success, preferably including much of the following: project planning, evaluation, budgeting, workflow management, and grant monitoring and reporting.
Experience communicating in different cultural and geographic contexts (and with those with a cultural or geographic perspective different from your own), and an understanding of how to navigate new cultural and geographic contexts and situations.
Experience mentoring others. You’ve not only managed your own programs in the past, you’ve also had some experience supporting others to achieve their goals, and have built meaningful relationships with others to exchange learning and grow together.
Experience with community organizing. You thrive working in collaborative groups and you are skilled in bringing out the best in people working together in a collaborative structure, you are organized and thoughtful about how you communicate with others and when, and you understand how your work and actions (and how you communicate about them) may affect your colleagues and those you serve.
Ability to take existing systems and organize them into well-oiled operations. We’re constantly piloting and ongoing experimentation is welcome, but we also need you to take what’s been learned and create effective systems and processes.

Exceptional verbal and written communication skills in English. Proven facility (ability to work) in at least one language other than English is preferable. Ideally, you have some experience communicating (in English) with those for whom English is not a first language.
You are skilled in building and cultivating relationships, you are skilled in listening, and you are skilled in delivering information and express points of view effectively and respectfully in both private and public settings.
Experience working independently: someone who will thrive working in a small team where other team members depend on you to deliver on your commitments. Comfort with ambiguity and complexity. Able to negotiate with people having sharply defined opinions while maintaining respectful relationships.
Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience.

Summary
Wikimedia envisions a world where the sum total of human knowledge is available to everyone.
The Wikimedia Foundation, the San Francisco-based nonprofit home of Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, and other free educational projects, serves as the hub of a global movement of hundreds of thousands of contributors collaborating to collect and share the sum of all human knowledge with the world. Wikipedia, the most prominent of the Wikimedia projects, comprises some 48 million articles in nearly 300 languages and is viewed more than 15 billion times each month from around the world.
The Public Policy team works to establish and defend a legal and regulatory landscape that is essential to Wikipedia and other free educational projects and to enable the Foundation to advance its mission. We are looking for an experienced public policy professional who can run campaigns on crucial issues for our mission, like copyright, intermediary liability, freedom of expression, access to knowledge, privacy, and censorship. The immediate focus is on United States law and policy affecting the open internet with the aim of raising Wikimedia’s profile and influence in debates that affect the ability of Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects to function as sources of free knowledge.
The senior public policy manager will be one of two such managers on the Public Policy team, located within the Legal Department, and will work closely with outside digital rights advocates and Wikimedia affiliates in the U.S. and internationally.
Who Should Apply
At Wikimedia, we serve the world. We believe that there is no way to meaningfully achieve our goal of reaching every single human unless our organization reflects the full breadth of the human experience. To that end, the Wikimedia Foundation recruits candidates from a broad range of backgrounds and experiences, including those from historically marginalized groups — women, people with disabilities, people of color, formerly incarcerated people, people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and/or gender nonconforming, first and second generation immigrants, and people from low-income families. A diversity of lived experiences is reflective of those who create and use Wikimedia every day.
We seek candidates with successful track records in advocacy work around internet legal and policy issues.
Essential Functions of Role:
Act as one of Wikimedia’s key leaders in designing the Wikimedia Foundation’s policy positions and agenda, initially and primarily in the U.S., but globally as well.
Raise Wikimedia's profile in legislative, regulatory, and other discussions on key issues, particularly in the U.S. Congress.
Develop proposals, including educational, legislative and regulatory initiatives, to support free knowledge consistent with the Wikimedia Guiding Principles.
Analyze existing and proposed laws to determine how they may impact the Wikimedia projects and users.
Alongside the international Wikimedia community and in coalition with other allies, build and coordinate campaigns on critical issues.
Write blog posts, op-eds, position statements, and other material discussing how different policy issues affect the free knowledge movement and Wikimedia projects in specific.
Present our policy initiatives at conferences, meetings with lawmakers and regulators or other influencers, workshops; brief and educate key Foundation and Wikimedia constituencies.
Train key staff and volunteers to educate people about our work and mission.
With other members of the Public Policy team or on your own, work collaboratively with other teams in the Wikimedia Foundation.
Essential Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree and excellent academic credentials.
5+ years of experience working in government, advocacy groups, or think tanks, including at least 2 years working on relevant issues within the United States.
Successful responsibility of advocacy campaigns, particularly focused on U.S. Congress or relevant agencies.
Deep understanding of intellectual property, privacy, and other internet law issues.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills and attention to detail.
Dedicated, hardworking, passionate, and able to complete projects on your own.
Ability to learn on the job, spot issues, think fast, and comfortably deal with complex and ambiguous issues with sound judgment.
Ability to travel domestically and internationally as needed, and to work or travel on weekends when necessary.
Pluses:
Graduate degree in law, public policy or related fields.
Ability to speak other languages, experience living or working outside the United States, or past work on international legal or policy issues.
Experience with open source, free culture, free software, or online communities.
Prior experience working in the technology or nonprofit sector.

About BetterLesson:
BetterLesson empowers K-12 teachers to build a modern classroom: learner-centered, culturally responsive, and personalized. Instead of the conventional (and ineffective) format of professional development for educators—filling an auditorium for a day of sleep-inducing lectures—BetterLesson supports teachers for the entire school year with regular, 1:1, virtual coaching. We match each teacher with a world-class coach and then leverage our technology to study actual classroom performance, to suggest customized teaching strategies, to qualitatively and quantitatively measure impact on student learning, and to continuously improve teaching practice through rapid iteration. This process leads to off-the-charts teacher love (our data shows teachers love BetterLesson more than Apple users love their iPhones), high administrator engagement, and, most importantly, dramatic teacher and student growth.
We design and tightly control every aspect of the system in-house: our coaching methodology, the content behind our pedagogical viewpoint, the delivery of our services to all teachers and district leaders, and the software powering our web and mobile apps. BetterLesson has raised over $30M of venture capital and grant funding, serves over 100 school districts, sees 850K+ monthly active users accessing our online lessons and strategies, and is expanding quickly.
We are a small and growing team of teaching practice gurus, educational opportunity devotees, and product development specialists. We place tremendous value on our company’s roots and culture: a shared passion to transform professional learning for educators at scale and a sense of urgency to achieve this vision. All candidates should have the experience, competence, and enthusiasm to dive in headfirst and rapidly solve complex, exciting, and interconnected problems. We feel we offer a unique opportunity to join a small team, have flexible hours, and make a massive impact on our education system.
About the Job:
As a Partner Success Manager (PSM), you will be the primary driver of stewarding strong and enduring relationships with our partners--including school districts, education associations, and foundations. PSMs are experienced communicators, educators, and strategic, action-oriented leaders. They ensure close alignment with our partners on strategic priorities, and regularly consult with partners on an ongoing basis to build a shared line of sight on educator and student growth and progress.
PSMs also work closely and collaboratively with the sales, product, and coaching teams to ensure that partnerships are running smoothly, partners are satisfied, BetterLesson Coaching is on track to deliver maximum impact, and our partnerships deepen and grow from year to year. The critical work of a PSM begins at the strategic planning phase, and extends iteratively over the course of implementation through continuous alignment, progress sharing, and troubleshooting challenges toward a partner’s measures of success and impact indicators. You will report to the Head of Partner Success.
You Will Focus on three main functional areas:
Strategic planning and launching partnerships;
Ongoing consulting and alignment with partner leaders; and
Ensuring partner satisfaction and deepening partner relationships year over year.
You are:
passionate about education and equity;
a strong relationship builder and communicator with a keen ability to engage a diverse cross-section of educators (from teachers to superintendents);
an exceptional strategic thinker with strong planning and detail-driven implementation skills;
a great team player, who constantly cultivates productive professional relationships internally and externally;
a seasoned communicator who can cultivate strong, enduring relationships;
adept at managing highly complex projects with precision without losing a primary focus on partner satisfaction;
obsessed with maximizing the impact of our coaching, development, and relationships with school- and school system leaders toward partner engagement and satisfaction;
the type of person who thrives in ambiguity and complexity, and is a consummate self-starter; and
an irrepressible process geek, chasing root causes to eliminate waste and risk.
You will:
drive the organizing, planning, and successful execution of BetterLesson’s supports in order to meet and exceed partner expectations;
regularly engage with partner leadership to map near-term results to strong long-term relationships;
craft clear and effective messaging and communications for partners;
collaborate cross-functionally to establish and continuously evolve best practices for partner engagement and satisfaction;
lead solution development efforts that best address partner needs, while coordinating the involvement of all necessary BetterLesson team members; and
develop and act on strong and effective communication plans for internal and external audiences.
