About the Organizations

The Transformations Community (TC) is an international network of researchers and practitioners working on sustainability transformations under conditions of ecological, institutional, and social disruption. The TC is launching the Agora, a light‑touch sensing and reflection infrastructure that supports shared noticing and reflection across diverse contexts.

The Inland Ocean Coalition (IOC) is a US‑based network that connects inland communities to ocean health through education, advocacy, and relationship building. The Ocean Ambassadors Program cultivates a distributed network of leaders who translate ocean issues into inland contexts.

Role Overview

The Network Coordinator position is a single full‑time role split evenly between the TC Agora and the IOC Ocean Ambassadors network. This design creates two parallel 0.5 FTE responsibilities that may flex slightly based on network rhythms.

Purpose

• Support the TC as a living network by ensuring useful signals from community members are surfaced, filtered, and interpreted.
• Maintain relational flow among practitioners and visibility into participation patterns across TC.
• Provide relational and informational support to the Executive Director and Communications Lead.

What You Will Do

• Support distributed sensing by lowering friction for contribution and facilitating movement from individual noticing to shared reflection.
• Maintain relational flow among practitioners who interpret and refine emerging signals from the field.
• Maintain shared engagement and participation records (e.g., Click Up or similar).
• Provide visibility into member engagement, participation patterns, and potential pathways for involvement across TC initiatives.
• Coordinate with Communications on public‑facing reflections.
• Reflect regularly with the Executive Director on emerging patterns and infrastructure adjustments.

Success Looks Like

• Useful signals surface without pressure or overproduction.
• Patterns of practice across diverse contexts become easier to articulate.
• The Agora feels present, coherent, and supportive without becoming heavy or directive.
• TC leadership has a clear picture of engagement evolution and relational capacity.

Purpose

• Support and strengthen the Ocean Ambassadors Program by cultivating connections and sustaining the network.
• Organize, connect, and sustain the network through relationships rather than top‑down coordination.

What You Will Do

• Serve as the primary point of connection for Ocean Ambassadors.
• Support onboarding, ongoing connection, and light‑touch convenings.
• Help ambassadors share stories, challenges, and learning across regions.
• Coordinate with IOC leadership and Communications to strengthen coherence and visibility.
• Surface patterns, needs, and opportunities emerging from the network.

Success Looks Like

• Ambassadors feel connected, supported, and valued.
• Relationships across regions strengthen over time.
• Insights from inland contexts inform IOC strategy and storytelling.
• The network grows without becoming administratively heavy.

• 3+ years in network coordination, community organizing, or supporting distributed teams or communities.
• Experience supporting ongoing participation and visibility across a network.
• Hands‑on experience with shared digital coordination tools (e.g., Click Up, Asana, Notion, Airtable).
• Strong written communication skills and ability to summarize patterns or themes for different audiences.
• Ability to work independently and remotely, managing workflow across time zones.
• Comfort working in loosely structured, evolving environments without detailed instructions.

• Experience in sustainability, environmental advocacy, systems change, or transdisciplinary research communities.
• Experience across academic/research and practice‑oriented settings.
• Familiarity with ocean conservation, coastal issues, or transformation research fields.
• Experience in nonprofit, fiscally sponsored, or other mission‑driven organizations.
• Experience working in networked or distributed organizational models.

• Full‑time (40 hrs/week) split evenly between TC and IOC.
• Independent contractor (no employee benefits such as pension, holiday pay, health insurance).
• Compensation: $65,000–$75,000 USD annually (total across both roles), dependent on experience.
• Fully remote.
• Immediate start; applications reviewed on a rolling basis.
