Job Description

The Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) is an international, not-for-profit research and advocacy organization that seeks to disrupt the architecture of online hate and misinformation. CCDH has been at the forefront of unmasking how online platforms and search engines drive radicalization, online harm, and pollute the information ecosystem. We are agile, influential and have a global impact – with offices in London and Washington D.C. and connections globally.

CCDH is a leading voice on online harms and advocating for online safety initiatives across the globe. We set the agenda for understanding what is wrong in digital spaces and how to fix them. We work across a range of different areas, from the anti-vaccination movement to climate change and artificial intelligence. Policymakers, regulators, and elected officials are a key audience for us as we advance solutions, and in the EU, ensure regulation is enforced.

CCDH wants to increase our capacity to contribute across sectors impacted by our work and expand our ability to work with groups impacted by online harms. We’re looking for someone with the appetite to work with partners to generate the pressure necessary for change. The successful candidate will be supported to develop their own skills and expertise. They will join a team that invests in its employees. We know our work will be at its best if it is created by people with a range of backgrounds and experiences. We are keen to interview people who will add diversity of experience to our team.

CCDH has grown rapidly since it was founded. Today, CCDH has more than 30 staff, a growing public profile, and a credible path to completing our mission to create permanent change to social media business model incentives and disincentives. Finishing the job means driving transparency and accountability reform in the United States, as well as harnessing the immense power of American brand advertisers to assert that platforms should be mindful of their extraordinary power as the primary means by which we share information, transact business, and create and maintain relationships.
