Position Description

El Tímpano—Spanish for “eardrum”—is an award-winning civic media organization designed to inform, engage, and amplify the voices of the Bay Area’s Latino and indigenous Mayan immigrants. Since 2017, they have worked with hundreds of immigrants and dozens of local partners to design community-centered approaches to civic engagement—and to ensure that immigrants have the information they need to make informed decisions, take action in their communities, and have their voices heard. The Impact & Evaluation Specialist will strengthen capacity to measure, evaluate, and communicate El Tímpano’s impact. They will also conduct community-engaged research projects that use a variety of approaches to understand and communicate the needs, hopes, and concerns of the immigrant communities El Tímpano serves.
