Open Positions

Network Coordinator

We’re hiring a Network Coordinator for a full-time position intentionally split between two aligned organizations:

Transformations Community (Agora) (~20 hrs/week) – Support distributed sensing and relational flow across our global network of sustainability researchers and practitioners working amid ecological disruption and institutional instability.

Inland Ocean Coalition (~20 hrs/week) – Coordinate the Ocean Ambassadors Program, connecting inland communities to ocean health through relationship-building and distributed organizing.

This is not a program management or engagement-growth role. You’ll help useful signals surface across networks, maintain visibility into participation patterns, and support collective coherence—without heavy bureaucracy. You’ll work with tools like ClickUp to support relationships and clarity.

1) Relational Coordination & Network Coherence (Both TC & IOC)

  • Serve as primary connection point for network participants, maintaining relational flow across distributed contexts.
  • Surface patterns, needs, and opportunities emerging from the networks without forcing predetermined activity.
  • Coordinate with leadership teams (Executive Directors, Communications) to strengthen coherence and adapt as conditions shift.

2) Distributed Sensing & Pattern Recognition (TC)

  • Support practitioners in surfacing observations from the field, helping signals move from individual noticing to shared reflection.
  • Maintain relational flow among practitioners who interpret and refine emerging patterns.
  • Reflect regularly with Executive Director on what’s emerging and how the sensing infrastructure should adapt.

3) Engagement Visibility & Participation Tracking (TC)

  • Maintain shared engagement records using ClickUp or similar platforms to support Agora sensemaking.
  • Provide TC leadership with clear visibility into who’s engaged, how participation evolves, and where relational capacity exists.
  • Coordinate with Communications Lead on public-facing reflections without creating administrative burden.

4) Network Organizing & Ambassador Support (IOC)

  • Support onboarding, ongoing connection, and light-touch convenings for Ocean Ambassadors across regions.
  • Help ambassadors share stories, challenges, and learning across geographic contexts.
  • Support the network’s growth without becoming administratively heavy.

Required

  • 3+ years in roles involving network coordination, community organizing, or support of distributed teams or communities
  • Experience supporting ongoing participation and visibility across a network (e.g. tracking who’s engaged, what’s active, and where attention is flowing)
  • Hands-on experience working with shared digital coordination tools (e.g. ClickUp, Asana, Notion, Airtable, or similar) to help keep work visible and intelligible
  • Strong written communication skills, with the ability to summarize patterns or themes clearly for different audiences
  • Ability to work independently and remotely, managing your own workflow across time zones
  • Comfort working in loosely structured, evolving environments without needing detailed instructions 

Preferred

  • Experience in sustainability, environmental advocacy, systems change, or transdisciplinary research communities
  • Experience working across both academic/research and practice- or advocacy-oriented settings
  • Familiarity with ocean conservation, coastal issues, or transformation research fields
  • Experience in nonprofit, fiscally sponsored, or other mission-driven organizations
  • Experience working in networked or distributed organizational models.
  • Location: Remote (US time zones strongly preferred)
  • Type: Full-time independent contractor (40 hrs/week), split evenly between TC and IOC
  • Compensation: $65,000–$75,000 USD annually
  • Start Date: March 2025 (flexible for right candidate)
  • Benefits: No employee benefits (pension, holiday pay, health insurance). Limited professional development support may be available.
