About Global Artivism
Global Artivism is a Global Majority-led movement dedicated to mobilizing the power of art and culture to drive social transformation. The movement centers artists, activists, and cultural workers from communities most affected by injustice.
The initiative believes that culture is more than expression — it is strategy, resistance, and collective action.
The movement operates through several core principles, including:
- Global South leadership and solidarity
- Distributed and collaborative decision-making
- Community-centered organizing
- Transparency and accountability
- Trust-building before rapid scaling
- Emergent and adaptive operational methods
Global Artivism is governed by a Global Council representing movement leaders and creatives across different regions worldwide.
Remote Project Manager Opportunity
The selected Project Manager will coordinate operational systems and workflows across the Movement Secretariat. This role is ideal for professionals with strong organizational abilities who enjoy managing multiple workstreams while supporting collaborative teams across time zones.
The contractor will work closely with the Operations Director and coordinate with other Secretariat members, consultants, and external partners.
This is a remote opportunity with flexible scheduling, although participation in scheduled global meetings will be required.

- Tracking timelines, deliverables, and project milestones

Contracts and Vendor Management
The contractor will also support contract administration processes by:
- Coordinating consultant and vendor agreements

Financial Operations Support
Additional duties include:

- Shared organizational drives
The role also includes documenting workflows and improving systems as the movement expands.

- Strong organizational and multitasking skills

Preferred qualifications include:

Compensation and Work Arrangement
This engagement offers a monthly contractor fee ranging between USD $2,500 and $3,500, depending on experience and agreement terms.
As an independent contractor engagement, applicants should note that:
- Contractors are responsible for their own taxes and compliance obligations
- No employee benefits or paid leave are provided
- Contractors may provide services to other clients simultaneously
- Working hours remain flexible
The contract begins in June 2026, with potential renewal depending on funding availability and mutual agreement.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This opportunity is particularly appealing for professionals passionate about social justice, culture, and global movement-building.
Successful applicants will gain:
- Access to an international network of artists and activists
- Exposure to innovative cultural organizing strategies
- Opportunities for learning and professional development
- Experience supporting globally distributed systems and teams
- Flexible remote working arrangements
Global Artivism strongly prioritizes candidates from the Global South and underrepresented communities, reinforcing its commitment to equitable leadership and inclusive organizing.
