Job openings

We are looking for creative, motivated people who want to work in a highly-collaborative environment. If you want to be part of a growing and successful non-profit organization that’s making a difference everywhere around the world, this may be the place for you.

We are hiring in the following areas:

Head of Office Administration - open until May 1, 2010

Chief Human Resources Officer – open until filled

Chief Global Program Officer – open until filled

Chief Development Officer – open until filled

Communications Intern – open

The positions listed here are based in our San Francisco headquarters, but we may in some cases be open to the possibility of people working remotely, unless otherwise noted in the job posting itself. If you are not currently living in the San Francisco Bay Area, and are not willing to relocate there, please make that clear in your cover letter.

If you are an editor in the Wikimedia projects, or help Wikimedia in some other way, please explicitly say that in your cover letter, and please give your username. Wikimedia experience is a definite plus when you're applying for a job with us.

If you are interested in working for our technical team, please review our past Software Developer and System Administrator openings, and send a cover letter and resume to jobswikimedia.org. You may apply for software developer and systems administrator jobs at any time: you do not need to wait for a specific posting here.

Except as noted above, please only apply for positions labeled as "open": if you apply for positions that are not yet open, your application will probably never reach the right person.
