Summary


The Wikimedia Foundation is the non-profit organization that operates Wikipedia - one of the most popular websites in the world, accessed by over 1.8 billion unique devices every month.

It is the only non-profit in the top 50 websites, supported by a community of millions of individual donors around the world.

Because of its contribution to the knowledge ecosystem globally, it is important that Wikipedia and other projects capture the full diversity of content that exists across societies today.

For this reason, the inclusion of women and non-binary contributors, and efforts to grow encyclopaedic content to better reflect gender-diverse topics and perspectives, is critically important.

However, much like for our society, gender inequality continues to be a challenge in our movement where:

  • Women and nonbinary people are significantly underrepresented among the readers of Wikipedia. On average 67% of Wikipedia readers in a given day are estimated to be men.
  • Women and other gender identities are significantly underrepresented among the editors of Wikimedia. Men make up 80% of active editors.
  • Women and other gender identities are underrepresented in the content of Wikipedia. On average, 80% of the biographies on Wikipedia are about men.


To address these disparities, organizers across the Wikimedia movement are working to close knowledge gaps in gender by supporting established and newcomer editors to join the movement.

Community-led content campaigns focused on addressing the gender gap — like Whose Knowledge, Art + Feminism, Women in Red, She Said and the Women's Health Project — represent some of the efforts to make the Wikimedia movement more equitable.


The Community Programs team seeks to contract a Lead Program Officer - Gender, to aid our efforts at strengthening our support to campaign organizers working on gender equity in the Wikimedia Movement.

The Lead Program Officer will be responsible for leading coordination of the movement and the Foundation in gender-related programming, research and campaigning; helping to ramp up and scale existing campaigns focused on the gender gap.

This is a one-year contract with the strong possibility of extension.

You are responsible for:

  • Leading the cocreation, implementation and monitoring of innovative solutions and processes that edify the movement's efforts at closing the gender gap, including through collaboration with Product and technology innovations;
  • Overseeing learning experiences and pathways with the movement to support newcomer retention and existing editor participation in content campaigns related to gender;
  • Coordinating global partnerships, including with multilateral agencies, related to gender equity and the Wikimedia movement;
  • Coordinating and developing programming for events and solidarity spaces with diverse actors;
  • Coordinating learning and shared goalmaking infrastructure within the Wikimedia Foundation and movement;
  • Developing a communication and advocacy strategy that helps amplify the work of organizers and editors working on gender to attract meaningful partnerships and editors to our movement; and
  • Supporting crossdepartmental learning about knowledge equity and knowledge gaps.

Skills and Experience:

  • 8+ years professional experience in addition to a Masters degree, or 12+ years experience with a Bachelor's degree, with a focus on gender, social justice, inclusion or another relevant field
  • Familiarity with the Wikimedia movement, including experience in organizing campaigns and/or using Product tools on Wikimedia projects;
  • Experience developing, monitoring and adapting strategy related to gender mainstreaming and inclusive practices;
  • Experience overseeing the development of learning materials, workshops and processes in multicultural settings;
  • Experience managing highlevel partnerships, including with multilateral agencies;
  • A track record of promoting skills development and shared practices through documentation and storytelling, conference presentations, and/or workshop facilitation.
  • Experience working with a distributed and remote team with people of diverse skill sets and backgrounds.
  • Strong written and spoken English. Nonnative English speakers are welcomed.

Qualities that are important to us:

  • A passion for free and open knowledge, and a willingness to get involved in the complex, decentralized process of creating it.
  • An understanding of and passion for diversity, equity and inclusion practices and powersharing practices.
  • Self motivated with a curiosity to learn and experiment.
  • Collaborative, flexible, and interested in feedback from people with diverse skills, experiences, and perspectives.

Additionally, we'd love it if you have:

  • Experience working with professional networks or communities in South/Central America and/or Africa.
