Another quick note on the Movement Communications
Manager posting that we
are hoping to fill at WMF. We have a number of applicants, but very, very
few are from the Wikimedia community. We would really love to fill this
role
with a strong Wikimedian, so if you are interested or know someone who may
be interested, please apply or reach out to Jay Walsh or myself.

The job is written in such a narrow way that it's not very likely you're
going to get many candidates from within the community sorry.
You want someone with a communications degree, who is a native English
speaker, can also communicate in a non-English language, and has experience in
CSS, and templates, and Wikimedia projects in general.
I understood that they wanted someone who was ideally *not* a native
English speaker. That was something that concerned me when I read it,
because it looked as if the intention was to disadvantage applicants
who had English as a first language. Or did I misunderstand it?
"Demonstrated ability to work (speak, read, write at a professional
level) effectively in a language other than English (ideally as a
native speaker)"
