Agora Election Observation (former AEGEE Election Observation) is recruiting new team members for different positions for 1-year term which may be renewed! Are you interested in human rights, democracy, and elections, and want to support Agora Election Observation for the entire 2023?
Do you want to experience a new level of active European citizenship?
If yes – you are warmly invited to apply as a new member of our team!
TEAM MEMBER – WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
Our organisation is run by a team of professional election experts and relies 100% on the voluntary commitment of its members. We all enjoy working together for a common aim, and that is what keeps us going. In order to further improve our work, missions, and activities, Agora Election Observation is reinforcing its core team. If you feel that this is a context where you can picture yourself, you may just be the right person to join us!
Since our Team is spread literally all over the continent, most of our work is done online. Our workload always depends on the “fever chart” of our Project; when EOMs are approaching, we will have a lot to do, otherwise less.
However, no team can function without a social basis. Therefore, we do meet in person on some occasions during the year.
The following positions are open:
Fundraising Manager
Missions and Methodology Manager
Social Media Manager
Training Manager
