Hello 44Net -

I'm incredibly pleased to share that ARDC is seeking a Director of Technology (Tech Director). It's a much needed position at ARDC!

This person's job will be to develop vision for and lead all of our technology efforts. These include:

* general SysAdmin (with an existing service provider), * grants management software development (with an existing service provider) and * IPv4 network modernization and management.

In addition to having solid technical knowledge and being an excellent manager, this person must also be an excellent communicator – able to write policy, wrangle volunteers, and manage open source technology development that includes both volunteers and contractors. This role will serve as the technical liaison to the ARDC Board of Directors and report to the Executive Director.

Some important notes about this role:

* The ideal candidate is a team player and team builder, able to identify requirements and expertise necessary for each of the above areas. We don’t expect one person to be able to do it all, but to define and build our technical capacity.

* Experience and history with amateur radio and the internet is required. Many of the people we work with, projects we take on, and communities we make grants to are rooted in amateur radio, which has a long history and legacy.

* This role is a hands-on job. Our expectation is that this person can manage our existing contractors and volunteers, while also participating technically.

For a host of legal and administrative reasons, candidates must be located and legally able to work in the US.

Many thanks, Rosy
