The Marijuana Policy Project has two new jobs available: 1) IT Director (Washington, D.C.) The IT Director manages a four-person IT department, which oversees all of MPP’s networking infrastructure, Web development, and data management.

Candidates should be comfortable working in both the graphical user environment and at the command line level, as well as generally familiar with and comfortable using UNIX or Linux and Microsoft Windows XP. Experience managing Linux/UNIX servers and/or experience with Windows-based networking is a plus.
