How to Apply for Network Coordinator (Community Sensemaking and Coordination)

at Transformations Community

🏢 About Transformations Community

Transformations Community is unique in its focus on accelerating global efforts for equitable, sustainable, and regenerative transformations through distributed networks rather than top-down approaches. They emphasize 'sensemaking' and collective coherence without heavy bureaucracy, making them appealing to those who want to work at the intersection of systems change and community building. Their remote-first, US-based structure allows for flexible collaboration across diverse contexts.

About This Role

This Network Coordinator role is the primary connection point for distributed practitioners, focusing on maintaining relational flow and supporting collective coherence across the network. It involves tracking engagement via tools like ClickUp, surfacing field observations into shared reflections, and coordinating light-touch convenings for Ocean Ambassadors. The impact lies in enabling the network to sense patterns and self-organize effectively for equitable transformations.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start by checking ClickUp for engagement updates and participation trends across the network, then connecting with practitioners to surface field observations for collective reflection. This could involve coordinating a light-touch virtual convening for Ocean Ambassadors, followed by summarizing patterns from discussions to maintain relational flow and coherence without bureaucratic overhead.

🎯 Who Transformations Community Is Looking For

  • Has 3+ years in network coordination or community organizing with experience in tracking engagement visibility and attention flow across distributed teams.
  • Is proficient with digital coordination tools like ClickUp, Asana, or Notion, and can use them to maintain clear participation tracking without creating bureaucracy.
  • Possesses strong written communication skills specifically for summarizing patterns from individual observations into shared reflections.
  • Thrives in remote, distributed environments and can support relational flow and coherence across diverse contexts without heavy-handed management.
