Who we are
Open Briefing is a mission-driven nonprofit working alongside grassroots activists, community groups, and social movements at risk around the world. Working together, we strengthen their physical security, digital resilience, and collective wellbeing. The need for Open Briefing’s work has never been greater. At least 300 human rights defenders and 91 journalists were killed in 2024, and demand for our services has increased 66% over the last two years.
The role
Are you passionate about bringing your skills, expertise, and networks to a dynamic global non-profit?
Are you excited about collaborating with us to help protect people and communities on the frontlines of the fight against social injustice, authoritarianism, and the climate crisis?
Do you have bold ideas for how Open Briefing could be more findable and fundable? Can you help us translate your ideas and our ambitions into creative, impactful strategies that could lead to new funding and resources for our security and wellbeing work?
Are you disinterested in ‘talking-shop Boards? Are you looking for an opportunity to use your skills, creativity, voice and connections in a way that will directly power our fundraising and communications work – making introductions to your network, brainstorming around key challenges, and executing dynamic profile-raising events and campaigns?
We are looking for five people to join a dynamic, passionate and action-orientated Development Board. Previous experience as a Trustee or on a non-profit Board is not required. We are particularly interested in people with experience from the following industries:
- Communications, design, and media
- Technology
- Venture capital
- Strategy consultancy
- Fundraising, philanthropy, events, and giving circles
- Ones we haven’t even thought of yet!
We are asking potential members to commit to an initial one-year term and to be available to meet online on a monthly basis, with engagement between as necessary.
