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.

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.

Excellent written and verbal communication skills and attention to detail. Dedicated, hardworking, passionate, and able to complete projects on your own.
