Finance Director

For 10 years, the Participatory Budgeting Project (PBP) has empowered people to participate in democracy through revolutionary civics in action and seeks to collaboratively transform democracy to center community power. Our work focuses on Participatory Democracy as a practice of collective governance where we all share real decision-making power rather than just a select few. This includes our work to expand Participatory Budgeting (PB) processes that give people real power over the money that affects their lives. Through our work with PB partners in over 30 cities, we have engaged over 534,000 people in deciding how to spend over $337 million. We support partners in establishing and running PD processes in a range of settings (e.g. cities, schools, organizations) across the United States.

PBP is a newly remote first organization and is at an exciting moment of transition, growth, and change. We continue to refine how we create an organizational culture and practices that cultivate a supportive work environment. Our organizational and decision-making structure based on sociocracy provides a collaborative and distributed leadership structure.

PBP is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive organization. We do this by ensuring that our hiring practices are equitable in each stage of a process. One way this shows up is by anonymizing application data when we do an initial review in an effort to reduce bias. In order to make sure the resume you share is easy for the software to read, we recommend you upload the document as a  simply formatted Microsoft Word file or PDF. This will help the platform to capture your experience accurately.
