    Job Description

    Slack Application Expert (Volunteer)

    Note: The following is an opportunity for flexible, part-time, volunteer work. Please DO NOT APPLY if you are only looking for paid employment. This is a remote-from-home position.

    Who We Are

    Before you decide to apply, make sure the WhoWhatWhy mission resonates with you. You’ll quickly see that we’re a credible response to the raging debate over whether the news is “fake” or not, publishing agenda-free research and bracingly fresh analysis. At WhoWhatWhy, we approach each story with an open mind, boundless curiosity, and a willingness to dig deep and ask hard questions. We believe that this is the essence of true journalism.

    Because we’re straight to the point, we make clear that, as a nonprofit with a very limited budget that accepts no advertising, we are staffed principally by volunteers — skilled volunteers.

    Responsibilities

    • Implement best practices for the organization's use of Slack
    • Develop and implement processes for maintaining and managing Slack channels
    • Create and implement strategies for effective staff participation in Slack discussions
    • Facilitate channel discussions when needed
    • Conduct regular de-cluttering and archiving of inactive Slack channels
    • Learn about new Slack features and train team members
    • Develop training manuals and tutorials

    Qualifications

    • Bachelor's degree
    • 3+ years' experience as a project manager using Slack
    • Be highly organized, motivated, and curious, and able to juggle — and prioritize — multiple projects simultaneously
    • Experience working in a remote environment a plus
    • Excellent communication and presentation skills
    • Demonstrate a collaborative spirit and ability to thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment

    Perks

    • Channel your passion in a stimulating environment
    • Learn the nuts and bolts of nonprofit operations in an up-and-coming organization
    • Develop new skills and gain valuable experience that can enhance your professional trajectory
    • Do amazing work on a flexible, part-time basis
    • Have fun while you make a difference

    Expectations

    You will work remotely and on your own schedule, and we ask for a minimum commitment of 10-15 hours a week. (Though doing more is not discouraged!) Because our staff is spread throughout the world, we communicate mostly through Slack and email, and team members are requested to be highly responsive in a timely manner.

    If you possess a high level of self-motivation, work well independently but also have strong collaboration skills and enjoy the opportunity to partner with like-minded individuals, and can commit quality time per week on a regular basis to help achieve team goals, we’d like to hear from you.

    To Apply

    We will not review applications that appear to be mass submissions. To apply, send your resume and a customized cover letter explaining why you're a good fit for this position. If there is no option to attach a cover letter, please send a cover letter to hr@whowhatwhy.org. You should confirm your understanding that this is, initially, a volunteer position. Thanks!
