SummaryThe 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 and volunteers around the world. Many of the contributions to Wikipedia and its sister projects (e.g., Wikimedia Commons, Wikidata) are supported by organizers: volunteers in our movement that convene, design and rollout campaigns, events and collaborations in our movement. As community builders and scale multipliers in our movement, Wikimedian organizers work to:

• Create and implement content drives to invite newcomers to contribute,
• Direct the edits and contributions of established volunteers, and
• Help build safe, inclusive, connected spaces for the Wikimedian community.

The work of organizers is even more important in light of the Wikimedia Movement Strategy Recommendations to enhance knowledge equity by improving the user experience, coordinating across stakeholders, identifying topics for impact and investing in skills development and leadership.The Community Growth team seeks to hire a Senior Process Analyst, Community Organizing Experience to help guide our contributors to effectively reach shared goals in improving encyclopedic content, enhancing the contributor experience and building connection and community on our projects and in our movement.
