The position of Europe Policy & Advocacy Manager at Access Now is truly the best job in Brussels. All the pros: 1. hands down the best team in Brussels. In the policy team it's Caterina Rodelli Chiara Manfredini Daniel Leufer Eliška Pírková but you'll get to be in the same office with other amazing colleagues from all across the organisation and even other NGOs from the space. Hello European Digital Rights! 👋🏻 The regional work has grown a lot but you will still benefit from working together and learning from an amazing international team. In this category it's worth mentioning that being part of RightsCon on the organising side is a special experience. 2. The intellectual freedom of civil society is unique and I did work for both the public and private sector so I know the difference first hand. 3. While it's an NGO it is very mature organisationally and you can trust all the operational work that went into building it out thanks to Nina Komakhidze and others. Let's just say it explicitly too: Access Now's salaries are competitive. 4. Access Now has impact which matters for maintaining motivation. At least in Brussels it's very much part of the inside game but we are recognising and choosing more and more the outside game and ready to challenge the system. 5. The mission at the intersection of human rights and technology gives a very broad and exciting mandate. Future challenges: the organisation has grown a lot and there are lot of necessary and generational and structural changes that can be painful but should lead to something (even) better. As a natural consequence of this growth, there are some issues with messy roles, responsibilities and team structures on the international level. The co-founder executive director Brett Solomon is leaving after 15 years and a new ED will have a great impact on both the internal and external direction of the organisation. Finally, if this is such an amazing job why did I leave? Access Now has been home for almost 8 years and I became hungry for new challenges, new solutions and learning. And I would be lying if I didn't mention that there's not much left in me that believes in the European Union - in it's current form - as an institutional structure for systems change. It is a good time for someone else with new convictions, knowledge, drive and leadership skills to take over this position for the new EU mandate and beyond. I wish you nothing but joy and success and I'm here if anybody has any questions:) Apply!
