Program Manager, Europe

As Program Manager, Europe, you will play a leading role in delivering People Powered’s contribution to Nets4Dem — a groundbreaking, EU-funded consortium of leading civil society organizations, cities, universities, and democracy innovators working to strengthen democratic participation across Europe. You will help governments and civil society actors adopt and improve practices such as participatory budgeting, citizen assemblies, participatory policymaking, and other forms of meaningful public participation. Our mission is to shift power toward communities — especially those historically excluded from decision-making — and to grow democratic power beyond elections.
