We are sad to see Erin go, but we are grateful for all the work, both front facing and foundational, behind the scenes, that she has done. With her well-earned rest comes the need to hire a new Keeper.
ALL applications for this position will be considered, whether the applicant meets every listed requirement or not. The requirements are best used as a tool to understand the expected needs of the position, not as a strict cutoff for consideration. Hiring the right person for the role is more important than a checklist.
The Keeper of the Chronicles is an Officer position along with the Cordamora, the Shatayan, and the Archivist. The Keeper works closely with the Amyrlin and the Cordamora to ensure the administration is focused on enacting the vision of the organization as a whole. The Keeper, Amyrlin, and Cordamora have individual responsibilities, but they are a close team working to keep the community running. Applicants should expect to have regular, frequent contact with the Amyrlin and Cordamora while carrying out their Keeper duties.
Legally, the Keeper serves as Chief Operations Officer and fulfills the duties outlined in the Bylaws for the Vice President of Operations. The Chief Operations Officer is responsible for ensuring site operations are efficient, effective, and coherent.

The community Bylaws can be found HERE.
The Keeper directly oversees the Director of Communications and Media, Director of Events and Conferences, Director of Moderation, and Director of Technology. The selected candidate will support these Directors by enabling them to take ownership of their departments. This support will likely take different forms—answering questions, setting department deadlines, holding one-on-one conversations, etc.
