The Ford Foundation’s Technology and Society thematic area seeks a globally focused, dynamic, strategic, and collaborative Program Officer to join a team working together to ensure that the internet and digital technologies are increasingly equitable; designed and governed to advance social and economic justice, particularly for those experiencing persistent discrimination. Reporting to the Director, the Program Officer will largely manage a grantmaking portfolio that advances meaningful free expression online, counters unjust surveillance and algorithmic harms, and challenges power asymmetries and inequities in the current structure of internet access and the data economy, with a particular focus on international internet governance systems.
The ideal candidates will be grounded in the broad field of technology rights and justice. They will be deeply knowledgeable about topics at the various intersections of technology and social justice, particularly outside of the U.S., and understand the roles that policy advocacy, litigation, organizing, research, narrative shifts, and philanthropy play in advancing social justice.
