Job Description:
Chief Technology Officer (Volunteer)* Note: The following is an
opportunity for flexible, part-time, volunteer work. Please DO NOT
APPLY if you are only looking for paid employment.* This is a
remote-from-home position.Are you an experienced IT professional
who is passionate about making a difference? Are you excited about
the opportunity to work with smart and talented individuals
committed to producing great content in the public interest? Can
you commit a minimum of 10 hours a week, working remotely on your
own schedule with our far-flung, diverse team?Check out
WhoWhatWhy.org. You'll quickly see that we're a credible solution
to the raging debate over whether the news is "fake" or not," with
agenda-free research and publishing bracingly fresh analysis. Not
left-wing, not right-wing, not consensus-seeking. We just want the
truth - whatever it is.We have thought long and hard about what
limits journalism's ability to effect positive change in the public
interest, and we see two factors that dominate the landscape: (1)
Commercial entities overly concerned with meeting financial goals
and filling "eyeball" quotas - while not straying from the rest of
the pack, thereby ensuring a sameness and superficiality to the
coverage. (2) Ideologically driven outfits catering to a specific
mindset and not daring to reveal things that would upset their
readers - or force them to reconsider their values.At WhoWhatWhy,
we go at each story with an open mind, boundless curiosity, and a
willingness to dig deep and ask hard questions - even when we're
told not to. Nothing is going to stand in our way when it comes to
discovering what is going on beneath the surface, and why. Call it
naive to believe such fearlessness possible, but we think it's the
essence of true journalism.And because we're straight to the point,
we make clear that we're looking for volunteers - skilled
volunteers. Yes, we're a nonprofit that wasn't funded by a
zillionaire. Yes, we decline to accept corporate ads. Because of
that, we look for volunteers - with the possibility, down the road,
of compensation based on proven results.However, we do have big
ambitions, which is why we're seeking an experienced Chief
Technology Officer (CTO) who will be involved in the organization's
strategic planning as well as lead the current IT team. This
position plays a key role in the planning, development,
implementation, and integration of its information technology
policy, resources, and operations.Responsibilities* Develop,
