The role can be shared between two people, reducing the time commitment necessary.
Allies is a new team that sits in Operations. We are recruiting for role holders and team members. Allies build relationships with other groups outside of XR. Currently Allies has an Internal Coordinator (IC) so this is an exciting opportunity to help grow the team and continue building on the excellent work developed by the previous Relationships team .
The Communication Lead ensures that the circle is contactable across and outside of the organism with clear outlines of what the team does and who to contact.
Some of the tasks include:
- Answering or forwarding online communication requests to this team to the wider movement. E.g. the circle’s email account.
- Checking other external communications channels, such as a Mattermost Reception.
- Creating regular summary updates and specific posts of the team’s work/projects to share with other groups.
