Dear WikiYorkers,

Wikimedia New York City (WM NYC) is an official chapter of the Wikimedia
Foundation, the parent organization behind Wikipedia. The goal of the
chapter is to support the New York tri-state area with educational
initiatives, development of free culture, providing free central knowledge,
and advocating for the best interests of the community.

The organization seeks a Metrics and Reporting Assistant to manage the
reporting process for WMNYC events. This position reports to and works in
collaboration with the Metrics & Reporting Committee, which represents key
stakeholders in these initiatives. We expect the position to evolve over
the first year, and thus the explicit list of responsibilities may change.
However, the person in this position will:

   - Collect Wikipedia account names from the attendance record on
   Wikipedia event pages, including those from Art + Feminism, AfroCrowd, and
   other edit-a-thons organized by WMNYC
   - Generate reports for individual events, using Wikimetrics tool as
   required
   - For each report from the Wikimetrics tool, process that data into a
   meaningful human-readable report.
   - Collect articles created and edited for each event so impact can be
   tracked over time.
   - Develop and propose a means to combine data from multiple events to
   develop one annual report and multiple specialized reports.

The successful candidate will possess skills and experience in the
following areas:

   - Experience with collecting and processing data, including both
   qualitative and quantitative measures
   - Ability to communicate with event organizers and the WMNYC community
   in a clear and respectful manner
   - Ability to communicate with the Wikipedia community in the Wikipedia
   website and beyond
   - Willingness to spend time studying the existing wikimetrics processing
   tools
   - Some prior experience with Wikipedia or attendance at editathons is a
   plus, but not required

The is a part-time temporary position, funded by a grant from the Wikimedia
Foundation
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/APG/2016_Supplemental_Info#2016_Metrics_reporting>.
WMNYC anticipates an average of 10 hours per week at the rate of $35/hr.

To apply for the position, email a resume to hiring at wikimedianyc.org. The
Metrics and Reporting Committee will follow-up with voice interviews. A
cover letter is not required, but it is encouraged.
