Operations Manager; Director (Remote, Full-Time)

Organization: Tech Justice Law Project (TJLP)

 

Location: Fully remote (U.S. preferred)

Status: Full-time

Negotiable Start Date: Jan. 1, 2026

 

About the Organization

 

Tech Justice Law Project (TJLP) is a non-profit dedicated to advancing accountability, transparency, and justice in the technology sector. We use impact litigation, policy advocacy, and public education to challenge abuses of power by technology corporations and defend the rights of individuals and communities harmed by emerging technologies. We partner with grassroots organizations, advocates, and scholars to challenge unjust technologies, fight discriminatory practices, and build a future where technology serves the public good rather than undermines it.

 

Established in 2023 as a project of Campaign for Accountability, TJLP sits within a broader network of technologists, litigators, researchers, and advocates working to reimagine the legal doctrines and discourse that govern technology and corporate power in the United States.

 

The Role

 

TJLP is seeking an Operations Manager or Director (level commensurate with experience) to help build and oversee the internal systems, processes, and infrastructure that power a growing mission-driven legal and advocacy organization.

 

This role blends big-picture thinking and hands-on management, supporting the Executive Director and Managing Director in scaling operations, strengthening internal culture, and ensuring compliance and operational excellence. This role will play a critical part in shaping TJLP’s next phase of growth—including its transition to an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
