• Organization Mastery: You love a good spreadsheet and have experience with Google Workspace.
• Commitment to Mission: Lived experience or a deep understanding of the trans and gender-diverse community.
• Self-Starter: Since we are 100% remote and volunteer-led, you should be comfortable managing your own tasks and deadlines.

• Leadership: Gain experience in HR/People Ops and nonprofit management.
• Community: Join a close-knit group of advocates dedicated to gender liberation.
