For our Berlin office, AlgorithmWatch is looking for an experienced PR & Outreach Manager. 

AlgorithmWatch is a civil society organization based in Berlin. Evaluating the social impact of automated decision-making (ADM) and AI-based systems, we’re dedicated to ensuring that these systems are used to strengthen human rights, democracy, and the rule of law. All too often, they restrict people’s rights as surveillance tools and dehumanize people in need of support. We’re working on changing this by designing and executing political campaigns, publishing journalistic stories, as well as contributing to scientific research and technical development.

Please visit our website, follow us on Twitter  Mastodon, and LinkedIn, or subscribe to our newsletters to get an idea of our work and see some of our team members.

Join the AlgorithmWatch team and work with us to protect fundamental rights and strengthen the common good!

Your future role

As a new member of our PR and outreach team, you contribute to informing the public about the impact that automatic decisions have on people’s lives. We try to show what we can do to make algorithmic systems a means to pursue the common good. With this perspective in mind, you work closely together with all of the AlgorithmWatch teams in Berlin and Zurich, designing our project communication and new campaigns. We’re looking forward to hearing your ideas!

This means in detail:

What you bring to the role

What we offer

To create an appreciative and harmonious working atmosphere, we defined values and principles for all of our employees in our mission statement.

Did we get your attention? Please apply now!

AlgorithmWatch is committed to equal treatment and equal opportunity. We strive to have a diverse team and diverse directive boards. We believe that a diversity of perspectives on the team is essential for the task of adequately researching and controlling algorithmic systems. We encourage applications from people who experience(d) discrimination, as well as people with migration or refugee biographies, Black and people of color, or LGBTIQ.

We are constantly working on designing an environment that is inclusive to all people. We understand this as a process in which we have to listen and learn, detect privileges and question them – and act upon it. In case you think that we fall short on this aspiration during the recruiting process, we would appreciate your feedback.

You share our goals and would like to be a part of our team? You would like to get to know us better? We’re looking forward to your application – even if not every aspect in our job posting applies to you!

Please send a short cover letter (that includes your desired starting date) and your CV until 13 February 2023 via e-mail to jobs@algorithmwatch.org. Please don’t include a photo, your birth date, or your family status.

We’ll send you a confirmation that we received it and, if your profile is a good match, we will get back to you within two weeks. If you have any questions, Marc, Team Lead PR, will be happy to answer them (jobs@algorithmwatch.org). Interviews take place in persona or via video conference. We can cover your travel expenses within a reasonable range (in case the German employment agency doesn’t).

We safeguard your personal data. To learn more about how we protect the data entrusted to us in the application process, please see our privacy policy.
