Director

Who are we?

As an independent reporting center, Mores provides a safety net for professionals in the creative, cultural, and media sectors who are currently experiencing or have experienced inappropriate behavior and have nowhere else to turn. Those who report incidents are supported by independent, certified confidential advisors. In addition, we provide organizations within the sector with information and advice on social safety. Our mission is to promote social safety within the creative, cultural, and media sectors, with the goal of creating a safe working environment for everyone in these sectors.

Mores was established by the sector in 2018 as a temporary reporting center. Since then, it has grown, and the issues it addresses have evolved (including the shift from curative to preventive care). This calls for a professional organization that will work closely with the board.

Mores is looking for two directors (for an average of 32 hours per week) who will work together to shape the future of the organization.

What makes you unique?

• Passion for and knowledge of social safety: a genuine commitment to promoting social safety, as well as knowledge of and experience with integrity issues (training as a confidential advisor is a plus)
• A self-starter with a proactive attitude and a strong sense of responsibility.
• Empathy and integrity: understanding the sensitivity of the issues Mores deals with, and acting with integrity.
• Team player: thrives in an environment where collaboration is essential, both with the board and with other stakeholders. You are also able to work effectively on your own.
• Strong communication skills: possesses excellent communication skills, both verbal and written, to communicate effectively with various parties.
• Persuasiveness: the ability to persuade and influence others.
• Flexible and versatile: able to switch between strategic, tactical, and operational levels, and easily adapts to different situations.
• Understanding of political and social relationships: an understanding of the broader context in which the organization operates and the political and administrative dynamics.
• Affinity with the cultural sector: an understanding of and affinity with the challenges and dynamics of the sector.
• You can provide a Certificate of Good Conduct and references.

Not every individual candidate is required to possess all of these competencies. When selecting members of the executive board, we look for a combination of the required competencies.

Together with your colleague and the board, you will ensure that Mores continues to grow and become more professional. In addition, you and your colleague will handle day-to-day operations:
