Are you a strategic thinker with a proven track record in web development and maintenance? Do you excel at leading teams, driving website projects, and ensuring a secure and user-friendly online presence? If you're ready to make a significant impact on a pan-European political movement by co-managing the public face of our organisation, then apply now to join the Volt Europa Tech Team as our Website Co-Lead!
Do you want to contribute to Europe's future?
Volt stands for a united and federal Europe, where everyone has equal opportunities to fulfil their unique potential. We strive to achieve the highest human, environmental, social, and technological development together. We are a pan-European political movement with 200 elected representatives across Europe, including 5 members of the European Parliament, over 30,000 members and hundreds of volunteers who work hard to make our vision a reality.
Volt is an inclusive movement that wants to provide space for everyone to thrive. We believe the power of diversity achieves better results for our society at large. We can only be the inclusive political movement we aspire to be, if we represent different voices and perspectives in our society. Your skin colour, gender identity, disabilities, sexual orientation or religious belief do not matter. You are welcome in our organisation, and we want to work together with you to create a better Europe for everyone. We're looking for a female/diverse Co-Lead to help us build a more diverse and dynamic Tech Team. Our team is presently predominantly male, and we’re committed to changing that.

System Maintenance and Stability: Ensure the smooth, stable, and secure operation of our complex website infrastructure using Statamic & Laravel.
Security and Compliance: Help maintain website security protocols, address vulnerabilities, and ensure compliance with the EU regulations and standards.
What skills do you need to excel in this role?
