The Technology Advocacy Manager is in an exciting new role and is responsible for leading CPJ’s advocacy on technology and press freedom issues. Building on CPJ’s long history of work on rapidly evolving challenges at the intersection of tech and press freedom, this position will drive the development and implementation of a new multi-year tech advocacy agenda for CPJ. Working across teams, this role will identify tech policy and practice issues that threaten individual journalists and press freedom more broadly and propose strategic interventions that CPJ should utilize to counter these. The Technology Advocacy Manager will identify emerging challenges and monitor fast-moving developments, providing context and analysis to drive and inform organizational decision-making. Whether with a national, regional, or international focus, the Technology Manager’s portfolio would range from negotiations on the UN Cybercrime Treaty to stemming the use of surveillance to proposed changes in relevant policies by social media platforms. This position will represent CPJ at existing coalition and advocacy meetings, government/company briefings, and consultations while taking stock of how CPJ should engage in the rapidly changing landscape of digital coalitions and partnerships.
