SENIOR CAMPAIGNERS FOR NEW EUROPEAN

ONLINE CAMPAIGNING ORGANISATION.

Application Deadline: 1 March 2015

ABOUT US

Online organising has emerged as a powerful tool to leverage mass activism in campaigning.

Organisations like MoveOn, Campact and 38 Degrees are helping millions of citizens to get their

voices heard for a more progressive, sustainable, just and democratic world.

With the EU in crisis, its time for an effective progressive online campaigning organization at the

European level and we have decided to start one, with the somewhat cryptic and nerdy working

title A2. With the initial funding secured, we are now working towards a launch in early 2015

and we are looking for people to join our team.

Youd be joining founding director Oliver Moldenhauer, networking & operations assistant Simona

Murec, and a growing group of supporters, including German and British online campaigning

groups Campact.de and 38degrees.org.uk and many individuals.

More information about our project can be found on: www.not-a2.eu/A2.pdf

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

This is a full time position for an initial contract duration of 12 months, starting as soon as

possible. (Our fundraising has already been successful enough to cover the positions for this

period of time.)

As we are building a virtual organization, this position will be based at a home office or co-working

space of your choice in the EU. The salary for this position will be a competitive wage as

compared to a local salary in NGO sector.

We are striving towards a good gender-balance in our team. Applications of women are therefore

especially encouraged. In order to enhance the diversity of our team we encourage applicants

who do not come from a country where we already have staff (Germany and Slovenia).

We do not share the implicit belief that online campaigners have to be very young and encourage

also people who left their twenties and thirties behind to apply.

HOW TO APPLY

If you are interested in this position, please send a cover letter (max. 2 pages), including

references and your CV to jobs@not-a2.eu before midnight CET on Sunday, 1 March 2015. Any

questions are also best directed to this address.
