With the Foundation's move to San Francisco scheduled for the end of January, job openings for the new offices have been published. Some of these positions are current positions that will need to be filled in the new offices, while others are new positions, added as part of the Foundation's expansion.

Current job openings include that of Accountant, Personal Assistant to the Executive Director, Office Manager, Heads of Development, Communications and Business Development, and Chief Financial and Operating Officer. All positions require experience within their individual field, and emphasize the knowledge of multiple languages, and prior work experience outside the United States. All positions, except that of Accountant, will accept candidates living outside the San Francisco Bay Area.

Applications for the offices of Accountant, Personal Assistant to the Executive Director, and Office Manager close on October 31; applications for the offices of Heads of Development, Communications and Business Development close on November 5, and applications for the office of Chief Financial and Operating Officer close on November 12.

Meanwhile, the office of Executive Director still remains open. At the board meeting earlier this month, an Executive Director Subcommittee was created (see related story). This subcommittee has been tasked with hiring a new executive director, monitor and report on the director's actions, and, if necessary, fire the director.

More hires are forthcoming, with positions for developers, public outreach, and partnerships development not yet open.
