About the Role
The Company is seeking a Trustee to join its Board, which plays a pivotal role in shaping and approving the strategy of the global nonprofit organization. The ideal candidate will be a values-motivated leader with a deep commitment to the principles of free and accessible knowledge, individual privacy, and transparent communication. Essential experience includes a strong track record in governance, the ability to ask the right questions to drive the organization forward, and a collaborative, ego-free approach to being a trusted colleague. The role demands a significant time commitment, including engagement with the technological, financial, strategic, and organizational growth of the Foundation and the movement, as well as participation in events. Priority skills that would be particularly valuable in a global context include experience in digital media or publishing strategy, diverse revenue generation, audience growth on digital platforms, and a proven track record of operational efficiency and a performance-focused, collaborative culture. The successful Trustee will be part of a decentralized, multi-stakeholder ecosystem that is dedicated to the vision of a world where knowledge is freely shared. This is a unique opportunity to be at the forefront of a movement that is shaping the future of knowledge, with a focus on the human element that sets the organization's work apart from machine-generated content. The role is not just about governance; it is about being an integral part of a global community that is responding to the evolving information ecosystem and defending the rights of users. The commitment is substantial, with an average of four hours per week, and all Board positions are unpaid, reflecting the organization's dedication to the movement. If you are a leader with the required experience and values, and are ready to invest in a role of immense relevance and reach, we encourage you to apply and be part of this essential infrastructure for the future of free knowledge.
