Dear all,

The Centre for Internet & Society (CIS) is seeking applications

the growth of Wikipedia and its sister projects and to advance
access to free and open knowledge in India. The Programme Director
will partner with the large Wikimedia community in India to focus on
Indic and English languages and will manage a team of four staff
members.

Position summary:

knowledge across India by developing technology-based solutions will
be a priority for this position.

Helping the Indian Wikimedia community share experiences and narrate
its story to the wider Indian and global Wikimedia communities
through conventional and social media, generating and documenting
lessons from programme activities that can inform the work of Indian
communities and similar programmes in other countries, managing the
team and grant resources effectively, serving as a spokesperson for
the CIS-A2K programme , and sustaining collaborative relationship
with the Wikimedia India chapter (WMIN), and other free and open
knowledge communities and movements in India such as free/open
source software, Open Access, Open Data, Open Educational Resources,
