About Atma Connect
Atma Connect is an award-winning 501(c)(3) international nonprofit headquartered in California. Our vision is based on a simple principle: no one understands the challenges of poor and marginalized communities better than the people who live in them. Atma’s mission is to use technology to empower low-income people around the world so they can report problems, share solutions, and improve their communities from the ground up. We have launched a mobile app in Indonesia called AtmaGo: Neighbors helping neighbors.
Our mobile app, AtmaGo, delivers real-time crowd-sourced content directly to user’s mobile phones. Since our 2015 launch in Indonesia, we have built a community of over 200,000 users who share breaking news on fires, floods and emergencies; report problems in their neighborhood; and post on jobs, classes, and cultural events. The Jakarta Disaster Management Agency has called AtmaGo an “important platform” that helps the agency “reach poorer neighborhoods.” Our work has won support from worldwide funders through various international awards.
Gender equality is mainstreamed in our work as the system mobilizes everyone in the community to post and share information in areas that were defined by them. In our tracking and data analysis, we recognize that girls and women have participated less than boys and men due to cultural inhibition, availability of information that would motivate them to engage, and gender-neutral outreach efforts that would tend to attract men. However, women and girls are important contributors in the community in terms of employment, entrepreneurship, problem solving, and advocates for gender equality. To enable us to reach out to womens community more effectively, we are recruiting a full- time Women Outreach Manager (WOM) to join our team in Jakarta.
Responsibilities of the Women Outreach Manager
The WOM will undertake the following activities:

The WOM will develop a partnership action plan in Indonesia to link the various women’s groups to AtmaGo.

She will conduct high level meetings with leaders in these organizations to develop partnerships. She will provide training as required to partners to allow them to participate actively in AtmaGo development.
Community Outreach
The WOM will work with the ATMA team in reaching out to women’s groups, women entrepreneurs, students, and housewives to introduce and to promote the use of AtmaGo. She will have face to face meetings with potential users together with the team or separate meetings if required. She will also reach them through facebook or other social media networks that are deemed appropriate by the team
Content Development
On the basis of the outreach activities, the WOM will work with the Product Director to develop content that would incentivize more women to post on AtmaGo. She will also work on users’ satisfaction/appreciation on the postings. She will participate in survey development to develop women’s content. She will develop a team of women ambassadors for AtmaGo who will create relevant content.
Data Analytics and Impact Evaluation
