Circles: Regional Lead (Part Time)

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. The ideal location is Lisbon, Portugal, although, the movement team are open to other locations also. Please note: we have a fantastic lead for our Africa Circles (as such, no current openings in Africa).

We look forward to hearing from you!
