<p>
We are looking for a Senior Project Manager Communication for 20-25
hours per week in our Berlin office. This is a great opportunity to
help amplify the importance of software freedom, so that every human

fundamental rights like freedom of speech, press, and privacy.

<h2 id="about-the-fsfe">About the FSFE</h2>
<p>
Free Software Foundation Europe is a charity that empowers users to
control technology. Software is deeply involved in all aspects of our
lives and it is important that technology empowers rather than
restricts us. Free Software gives everybody the rights to use,
understand, adapt, and share software. These rights help support
other fundamental freedoms like freedom of speech, press, and
privacy.
</p>
<p>
The FSFE helps individuals and organisations to understand how Free
Software contributes to freedom, transparency, and
self-determination. It enhances users&#39; rights by abolishing
barriers to Free Software adoption, encourages people to use and
develop Free Software, and provides resources to enable everyone to
further promote Free Software in Europe.
</p>
<p>
We are involved in <a href="/activities/index.html">many activities</a> in
the legal, economic, political and technical areas around Free
Software. Our work is made possible by a community of volunteers,
supporters, donors, and staff.
