The Wikimedia Foundation's Community Department collaborates with and serves the broad Wikimedia community -- including readers, donors and editors/contributors -- to encourage the health and growth of Wikimedia communities and the projects they create and manage.

This year, the Community Department will be hiring for a series of important senior and entry level positions. All positions will involve collaborating and communicating with Wikimedia project contributors and users intensively and publicly, grappling with many problems that no one has ever solved before, navigating technological and social challenges and opportunities, and dealing with a high level of complexity and uncertainty. Candidates should have extremely high levels of skill and comfort in communication (especially writing), qualitative and quantitative analysis, management and self-management. Candidates who are not already deeply immersed in online collaborative communities will have to show an aptitude for quickly gaining a deep understanding of our communities' technologies, practices, traditions and culture -- and to become trusted and productive members of the Wikimedia community and movement.

We are looking for candidates from all over the world. Wikimedia Foundation has a policy of hiring without regard to locale. If eventually accepted for a position, Wikimedia Foundation will assist with work visas and relocation costs.

This is not a formal application, it is the first step in an outreach process designed to identify some great candidates for Wikimedia Foundation positions.

Your information will be kept completely confidential and will only be viewed by hiring managers, human resources staff and possibly assisting consultants who are covered by confidentiality agreements. Because we have such a small staff, we cannot guarantee a response. Submitted data will not be retained for longer than a year. Besides the data below, we are also recording the timestamp and your IP address at the time of submission.
