**Location:** Remote. North America or Europe-friendly time zones preferred **Position Type:** Part-time to potentially full-time contractor, depending on candidate and scope. **Compensation:** Flexible depending on experience, $60-80K full time equivalent. **Start Date:** Flexible, ideally June 2026 ### About Transformations Community The Transformations Community is a global network of researchers, practitioners, facilitators, and changemakers working at the intersection of social, ecological, technological, and institutional change. Through conferences, inquiry initiatives, communities of practice, and collaborative projects, TC brings people together to learn how transformation happens in practice and across contexts. We are entering an active 2026–2027 cycle leading toward our October 2027 gathering in Spain. ### Why We’re Hiring TC is small, distributed, relational, and increasingly active. Much of the work moves through conversations and partnerships. We need someone who can help the organization hold the operating threads: what is active, who owns it, what has been decided, what is stuck, what needs follow-up, and what can move next. This is an integrator role for someone who can create clarity, continuity, and follow-through without overbuilding systems.This is not a conventional executive assistant role, a generic operations role, or a heavy project-management role. This role is best suited to someone who has worked in mission-driven, research-oriented, nonprofit, sustainability, systems-change, and/or field-building environments. ### The Role You will work closely with TC’s Executive Director, conference lead, communications implementer, web/technical support, and inquiry leads. Your main task is to help TC operate with more shared visibility and less reliance on memory and ad hoc follow-up. You will turn priorities, meetings, relationships, and ideas into clear next steps, and decision points. The goal is not a perfect system. The goal is a system people
