Documenters Program Manager: Committee of Seventy

Position Overview:

Public meetings are workshops for democracy, where residents of our community can witness, learn about, and act on the systems that impact their lives. But many local government meetings happen with no oversight or input from the public—a systemic failure of our civic information system, and a critical missed opportunity for genuine democracy.

The Documenters Network has trained more than 5,000 people across more than twenty communities to attend and annotate government meetings, harnessing their collective knowledge, relationships, and capacity to create a powerful new information resource. In 2023, Documenters came to Philadelphia, and in 2026, the Committee of Seventy, Philadelphia’s oldest and most respected good government organization, will become its new home.

The Documenters Program Manager will recruit, train and manage our growing community of Documenters, help them connect public meetings with civic issues, and support partnerships with civic institutions like Temple University and newsrooms across the city to increase public accessibility and accountability in government.

Key Responsibilities: 

Recruit, support, and manage the community “Documenters” who make the program successful.

  • Craft and implement a sustained recruitment strategy to both re-engage individuals who were previously involved in Documenters and recruit new Documenters.
  • Work with City Bureau, the national organizer for the program, to onboard and train Documenters.
  • Regularly utilize Documenters.org, a web-based platform to track public meetings, to manage Documenter assignments and editorial workflows.
  • Oversee and directly edit Documenter assignments and prepare information for publication and distribution. We expect that this will build towards an average of 4-6 items per week.
  • Work with the Committee of Seventy’s CFO to set up an invoice and tracking system to ensure Documenters are promptly paid for their work.
  • Apply an equity framework to programmatic decisions to ensure the Documenters site reflects the greatest need as it applies to race, gender and other demographics.

Through large-scale equipment redistribution, community partnerships, volunteer engagement, and earned revenue strategies, LPF supports schools, community-based organizations, and recreation programs serving young people who would otherwise lack access to safe, appropriate sports gear.

The E.D. will lead this strategy, responsible for setting and advancing organizational goals, leading a growing national team, strengthening systems and infrastructure, and expanding LPF’s visibility, partnerships, and financial stability. The E.D. will balance

big-picture thinking with organizational capacity building, ensuring that LPF’s programs and ambitions remain grounded in equity, sustainability, and measurable impact.

Guided by LPF’s strategic priorities—including deepening impact and strengthening the organization’s operations and growth plan—the E.D. will work closely with the Board and staff to position LPF for long-term success. This leader will be a compelling ambassador for LPF’s mission, building authentic relationships with funders, corporate and community partners, and the broader youth sports and development ecosystem.

The E.D. reports to the Board of Directors and supervises a senior leadership team, prioritizing strategic direction, team development, and staff accountability across core organizational functions. Their leadership style will center on building positive team cultures, valuing clear and transparent communication, developing internal talent, and empowering staff to succeed. As a strong coach, the E.D. will bring a robust playbook to improve processes, procedures, and tools, ensuring LPF’s operations reflect the organization’s ambition to knock it out of the park.
