Together, these positions form a team working closely with the executive director and members of the FSF's board of directors to plan, carry out, evaluate, and improve FSF's advocacy and education campaigns. The team will start by taking up responsibility for our existing campaigns in support of the GNU Project, free software adoption, free media formats, and freedom on the network; and against DRM, software patents, and proprietary software. Such responsibility includes: * planning both online and physical actions to achieve our campaign goals, * setting specific goals for each action and then measuring our success in achieving them, * doing the writing and messaging work needed to effectively explain our campaigns and motivate people to support them, * overseeing or doing the graphic design work to make our campaigns and their Web sites attractive, * working with our systems administrators on the technology choices and deployments -- especially of web publication systems like Drupal and Plone -- for our campaign sites, and * being an approachable, humble, and friendly representative of the FSF to our worldwide community of existing supporters and the broader public, both in person and online. The campaigns team is also empowered and encouraged to develop new campaigns to advance the FSF's charitable mission. If you can look at <http://www.fsf.org/campaigns> and come up with proposals to improve both the quality and appearance of the work described there, along with ways to measure the success of your proposals if implemented, you should apply. In your cover letter, please tell us a story of a time you motivated and organized others to take action on an issue important to you. With our small staff of twelve, each person makes a clear contribution. We work hard, but offer a humane and fun work environment. The FSF is a mature but growing organization that provides great potential for advancement; existing staff get the first chance at any new job openings. ## Benefits and salary The job must be worked on-site at FSF's downtown Boston offices. An on-site interview will be required with the executive director. This job is a union position. The salary is fixed at $56,920/year and is non-negotiable. Other benefits include: * full family health coverage through Blue Cross/Blue Shield's HMO Blue program, * subsidized dental plan, * four weeks of paid vacation annually, * seventeen paid holidays annually, * public transit commuting cost reimbursement, * 403(b) program through TIAA-CREF, and * yearly cost-of-living pay increases. ## Application instructions Resumes and cover letters must be submitted via email to <hiring(a)fsf.org&gt;.
