Our Next Big Step

Mechanics

The timing of the transition will be negotiated with the successful applicant. Whatever is decided, I will start working part-time as soon as they are hired, and will step down as soon as the Steering Committee feels the new ED is ready, but no later than the end of December 2015.

Pay will also be negotiated, and will be very competitive with equivalent academic and industrial positions and commensurate with experience. There is no fixed geographic requirement for this job—it can be done anywhere with reliable Internet access—but it will require some travel (about half a dozen trips per year).

The full description of the Co-Executive Director position is in this blog post. To apply, please send email to {{site.contact}} by July 31, 2015 with "Co-Executive Director" in the subject line, and include:

• A brief resume or CV (approximately two pages).

• A brief statement (approximately two pages) of what you would hope to accomplish in your first year as Executive Director. Please also include a paragraph about any work you may have done with Software Carpentry in the past and another about your experience working with other volunteer organizations.

We will begin interviews immediately after July 31, and hope to have someone in place no later than the end of August.
