Dear all,
I am happy to share another update on the movement strategy process. As we resume work, we’re planning to put together a team to design and facilitate the next phase of the movement strategy process. This team will be responsible for shaping the overall process in a way that supports participation and engagement of the diverse constituents and stakeholders of our movement.
As I mentioned in my last email, I’ve asked Nicole Ebber of WMDE to take on the role as Process Lead for this next phase. She has been busy mapping out the team and skills we will need to move forward, including writing descriptions for each role, which you can find on Meta-wiki https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Team [1].
In clarifying these roles, it became evident that there are some people who have played a major role in the process to-date and who bring much-needed skills and insight to the team. As a result, we’ve asked two people from the first phase to formalize their collaboration in the Strategy Process Architect and Process Support Lead capacity and join this next phase as core team members. *We’re still finalizing details, but I look forward to announcing them soon!*
We are still looking for people for two of the other roles in the core team. In the first phase of the process, last year, we worked with a number of consultants from outside the movement.
For this phase, *I am very interested in building a team from within our movement* -- bringing together people with a passion for our movement, the necessary skills for the work we need to do, and an interest in helping us solve some of our most challenging questions. I believe that this is an exciting opportunity to take on a leadership role, develop their skills, and work on an essential priority for the future of our movement. *I strongly encourage people from all across the movement to apply. *
*We are looking for candidates for these two positions: *
- *Information & Knowledge Manager* - A person with experience in managing the flow of large amounts of qualitative information. They will be responsible for ensuring the effective, yet inclusive, collection of inputs from movement stakeholder discussions around key questions and themes of Phase II. They will be responsible for making sure community has clarity about the process itself and its goals, for ensuring a steady information flow to critical stakeholders, and for effective communication of the status and results through movement-wide communication.

[2] < https://boards.greenhouse.io/wikimedia/jobs/1096509?gh_src=cclqxfvl1#.WsT-DN...
) - *Project Manager* - A person with experience in project management and evaluation. They should be comfortable with navigating high-volume information flows, multiple competing stakeholders, and situational ambiguity and complexity. This person will be responsible for coordinating and managing human and financial resources, coordinating activities within the strategy team, as well as strategy process related activities within the wider Wikimedia movement. This person will be in charge of tracking progress against goals, deliverables and milestones, as well as managing timely status updates and reporting and is expected to ensure fluent work streams within the process as well as managing the overall process budget. (Application link [3] < https://boards.greenhouse.io/wikimedia/jobs/1096480?gh_src=3pmbq6q21#.WsT-Hd...
)
*We strongly encourage applications from members of our extended Wikimedia community. *Some additional notes:
- Both of these roles are meant to be 40 hours/week for a period of approximately 24 months. - Contractors in both roles can be located almost anywhere, with support for travel as appropriate. - Because we want people from across the movement to consider applying, please note that these roles require you be comfortable working in English, but do not require English as a native language. Particularly for the Project Manager role, the emphasis is on functional comfort, rather than fluency. - We are especially interested in candidates from our emerging communities.
If you are interested but uncertain and would like to know more, please reach out to me or Nicole. If you know someone who would be a perfect fit but might not think they are eligible, please encourage them to apply. We are hoping to finish hiring for both these roles by the end of April, with the plan that they will continue through mid-2020.
*Next steps*
Each step of the process will be created with and enriched by, individuals and groups from across and beyond the movement. This means that in the course of the process, we will again be calling for a steering committee, advisors, and liaisons to take many different perspectives and experiences into account.
I am excited that we can now kick off the first steps of the process with these team members and prepare for the first essential milestone in the upcoming phase - the Wikimedia Conference and its movement strategy track. We will share more information and details about that in our next update.
*Okay, that’s it -- don’t forget to apply!*
Cheers, Katherine
