What are the responsibilities and job description for the Project Management Volunteer position at Disaster Accountability Project?
DAP is the leading nonprofit organization that provides long-term independent oversight of disaster management systems.
DAP engages a dedicated community to advance policy research and advocacy, promote transparency, and encourage the public to participate in oversight, community-based organizing, and discussions about disaster preparedness and relief.
Dedicated citizen oversight is necessary to ensure resources dedicated to preparedness, relief, and recovery are effectively utilized, communities are sufficiently engaged and more resilient, and best practices and lessons learned are implemented so mistakes are not repeated.
Prior to the creation of the Disaster Accountability Project (DAP), there was no dedicated, independent oversight of the agencies and organizations responsible for these critical life-saving responsibilities.
,
We are seeking project managers to support teams of asynchronous volunteers working across dozens of projects in our organization.
We currently have project managers leading our Grants team, UX Designers, some of our communications sub-teams. But rather than have "volunteer coordinators," project managers can help keep tasks, projects and groups on track using Slack, Google Docs, Monday.com and other project management tools.
Background
Disaster Accountability Project is a volunteer-powered organization. Launched after Hurricane Katrina to improve effectiveness, accountability, transparency and equity in disaster relief / humanitarian aid, the organization's top program is SmartResponse.org, a global platform helps make sure more funds reach locally-led and last-mile organizations around the world.
