Join our team as a data consultant!
Job announcement for a temporary consultancy
FAIR SHARE of Women Leaders is an international feminist initiative that aims to spark and sustain a feminist transformation of the civil society sector across the globe. We do this by monitoring the gender distribution in the top leadership of civil society organisations and creating spaces for individuals and organisations to explore the concept Feminist Leadership, which has been developed and practised mainly by women’s movements in the Global South, as a tool to transform leadership styles and organisational cultures. Our vision is a sector that models equity, inclusion and representation in its own structures and culture.
Find out more about our work at https://fairsharewl.org.
Since our establishment in 2019, we have amongst other:
- set up an international and a German FAIR SHARE Monitor measuring the number of women in leadership positions in more than 200 civil society organisations annually.
- created a regularly convening community of more than 50 international and German civil society organisations who signed the FAIR SHARE commitment, including Oxfam, Plan International, and Amnesty International
- developed events, publications, and other resources on Feminist Leadership together with partners and visionary thinkers from around the world
- Launched a pilot of the Feminist Leadership Hub, a community space for Feminist Leaders looking for support and inspiration
Our organisation aims to further professionalise our data-related activities
Data has been a cornerstone of our work at FAIR SHARE from the very beginning. With our flagship project, the FAIR SHARE Monitor, we’ve been tracking the representation of women and other genders in leadership in the international civil society.
As our young organisation grows and our work with the Monitor and women’s representation in leadership gains more traction, the need to consolidate our data systems and overall approach to data is becoming evident. This year, with support from the Patrick J. McGovern Foundation, we initiated a process to start developing FAIR SHARE’s first feminist data strategy and data governance model while exploring concepts such as data feminism and data stewardship. As we build these important organisational systems, we are committed to anchoring them in an intersectional feminist framework to foster transparency and accountability vis-‡-vis the overlapping and context-specific power dynamics that affect the social impact sector.
We are at an exciting point in our organisational development to expand the scope of our work and pave the path to become a fully and sustainably data-driven organisation that uses data not only for good, but for liberation. To drive this next phase and support our team,
we are looking for a data consultant
