# Free Software Foundation announces deputy director search

The Free Software Foundation (FSF), a Boston-based 501(c)(3) charity
with a worldwide mission to protect freedoms critical to the
computer-using public, would love to find an experienced, Boston-based
deputy director to expand our leadership team.

This new position would work closely in support of the executive
director to coordinate and amplify the work of an expanding, 12-person
staff; represent the FSF to conference, supporter, and donor audiences
internationally; and play a key role in improving the FSF's overall
effectiveness by driving initiative prioritization, fundraising,
resource allocation, hiring, and internal process development.

Now is an especially exciting time to join the FSF team, since this year
is our 30th anniversary. We are taking the opportunity to both reflect
on the past and plan ahead for the next 30 years.

In addition to being a talented general manager and project
coordinator, the right candidate will bring significant expertise to
at least one of the FSF's major work areas -- technology
infrastructure and software development, licensing and compliance,
public advocacy and engagement, fundraising, or operations.

This role is for someone who:

  * is a dedicated free software user;
  * cares deeply about the impact of control over technology on the
    exercise of individual freedoms;
  * stays highly organized, even during high-stress situations,
  * inspires and motivates others;
  * is a reliably rational, diplomatic, and productive voice in
    discussions, both online and offline;
  * loves puzzles and problem-solving; and
  * enjoys the challenges of working in the public eye, including
    fielding and responding to criticisms.

Because of financial control duties, the position must be worked from
the FSF's headquarters in Boston, Massachusetts. Relocation assistance
is available. Candidates currently located outside the US may apply;
we have sponsored visas in the past.

Salary would be commensurate with experience. Benefits include:

  * full family health coverage through Blue Cross/Blue Shield's HMO
    Blue program,
  * subsidized dental plan,
  * four weeks of paid vacation annually,
  * seventeen paid holidays annually,
  * public transit commuting cost reimbursement,
  * 403(b) program through TIAA-CREF,
  * a shiny silver Deputy star,
  * yearly cost-of-living pay increases, and
  * potential for an annual performance bonus.

Applications must be submitted via email to <hiring at fsf.org>. The
email must contain the subject line "Deputy Director". A complete
application should include:

  * resume or CV,
  * cover letter,
  * writing sample (1000 words or less), and
  * links to published work online, such as articles, code
    contributions, or conference presentation videos.

All materials must be in a free format. Email submissions that do not
follow these instructions will probably be overlooked. No phone calls,
please.

Applications will be evaluated on a rolling basis.

The FSF is an equal opportunity employer and will not discriminate
against any employee or application for employment on the basis of
race, color, marital status, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation,
national origin, handicap, or any other legally protected status
recognized by federal, state, or local law. We value diversity in our
workplace.
