Project Director, Latin America Resource Center

The Open Technology Institute is creating a Latin American Resource Center as part of its Internet Freedom & Human Rights program. The Project Director will promote co-ordinated Latin American civil society advocacy by bringing together human rights and digital activists.
This position requires a highly-skilled regional expert to develop the Regional Resource Center. He or she will conduct outreach with civil society groups and leaders throughout Latin America and develop a feasible, targeted plan to establish this Resource Center for the benefit of such participants.
The Regional Resource Center will coordinate domestic, regional and international advocacy activities and serve as a centralized repository for materials for Latin American civil society groups to work within on several internet freedom goals. A more cohesive Latin American movement may then engage influential governments in the global south, where there’s an opportunity to shape the wider debate while working closely with other stakeholders in other regions of the world.

This is a part-time position of a two-year duration that has been graciously backed by the Ford Foundation and Open Society Foundation. The Project Director will work within New America’s Foundation Open Technology Institute and report to Internet Freedom & Human Rights program Director Gene Kimmelman.
