Princeton, New Jersey, United States Metagov Full time

About Metagov
Metagov is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to exploring innovative digital governance solutions. Our mission is to foster diverse and creative self-governance in online environments through research, standards development, prototyping, and community engagement.

Position Overview
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Metagov holds the key operational role in advancing the organization's mission. This position involves recruiting and managing personnel, overseeing various projects, advising the board on strategic initiatives, and ensuring the financial health of the organization.

The CEO will report directly to the Metagov board and engage with the wider Metagov community.

Key Responsibilities
The CEO is expected to:

  • Oversee Metagov's dynamic community, research initiatives, and operational functions.
  • Articulate and promote the vision and mission of Metagov.
  • Initiate, design, and lead projects, which may include software development, research, advocacy, or events.
  • Ensure the sustainability and growth of the organization through effective fundraising, grant writing, and revenue generation.
  • Collaborate with research directors and the community to develop new projects.
  • Work with the operations lead to establish accounting practices, operational support, and fiscal sponsorship.
  • Recruit, hire, and manage staff or delegate these responsibilities as necessary.
  • Manage financial transactions or delegate this responsibility.
  • Provide regular reports to the board.

It is anticipated that up to 40% of the CEO's time may be dedicated to executing research projects, with outputs such as publications or standards documents funded through dedicated revenue sources.

Candidate Profile
We welcome candidates from diverse backgrounds for this role. Ideal candidates may include established nonprofit leaders, entrepreneurs, researchers, or even ambitious graduate students or postdoctoral scholars. Backgrounds in computer science, technology, law, or social sciences are all relevant.

The most critical factor is your vision and ability to contribute to the future of Metagov.

Compensation and Commitment
Compensation is set at $60 USD per hour, or according to specific grants. The expected duration of this role is a minimum of three years.

The CEO position is both demanding and rewarding, with an average commitment of 20-25 hours per week dedicated to executive duties, alongside involvement in grant-funded activities.

While this role can coexist with other fellowships or research positions that align with Metagov's mission, it should be regarded as a full-time responsibility.

Metagov's Functions
Metagov operates through three interrelated functions:

  • Community: Engaging all participants to foster vibrant collaborations.
  • Research: Conducting cutting-edge research to support shared goals.
  • Operations: Implementing a participatory approach to organizational infrastructure.

Metagov was founded in 2019 and has since evolved into a leader in digital governance, securing over $1 million in grants and building a community of over 1,000 members.
