The role:
Logos is a movement to rebuild civil society through self-organised civic action, and a technology stack to enable new ways of organising. We believe that current systems are failing us, and institutions need to be re-built from the ground up.
Within Logos, the Movement team supports a growing community of local activist organisations called Circles. These groups are active in cities around the world working on issues that impact their community, from organising pop-up health clinics and teaching financial literacy, to creating community gardens and building tech for civic fundraising. We provide training, 1:1 support, tools, and technology to Circles—helping them scale their impact and evolve into a network of mutual aid, with the long-term goal of creating a global Parallel Society: a group of people and organisations united by shared values that organise into a new extra-governmental sovereign economy.
We are hiring a Regional Circles Lead to support the existing program as it scales and to provide administrative and organisational support to our team and local Circle Stewards.
Key responsibilities:
- Support Logos Circles by assisting volunteer community organisers in scoping and completing “winnable issues” (community impact projects) to better self-select and execute activities at the local level.
- Guide and mentor new local Circle Stewards using established formats.
- Manage documentation, briefs, and reporting to facilitate the promotion of Circle narratives, outputs, and wins.
- Aggregate regional reporting and metrics to improve visibility and facilitate coordination across the broader Logos network.
- Act as the primary liaison between Logos and Circle stewards to facilitate logistics, campaign assets, and general advice.
- Attend local events to promote Logos Circles, build community visibility, and connect participants with local groups.
- Produce standardised reports regarding regional output and progress.
- Manage the local Lisbon Circle and its ongoing civic action activities.
You will ideally have:
- Experience doing civic good community organising on a voluntary or paid basis.
- A basic understanding of privacy, non-governmental civic organising, and the implications of technology on these issues.
- An excitement to learn about blockchain, crypto, and decentralised technology and their political and civic implications.
- Experience managing projects and excellent organisational skills.
- A strong alignment to our principles.
Bonus points:
- Membership in a civic organisation such as Kiwanis International, University volunteer organisations, community gardens, or grassroots organisations.
- Experience working for an open source organisation.
