In recent years, No More Deaths has grown from an all-volunteer organization to incorporate paid positions for critical tasks that are difficult to fill with volunteer labor. Due to the non-hierarchical structure of No More Deaths, this position is not solely responsible for all HR issues but instead is responsible for coordinating volunteers and staff to make sure HR and personnel issues are handled. The personnel coordinator is responsible for organizing systems to support NMD staff, ensuring that staff is meeting expectations, and coordinating responses to conflicts or issues involving staff. 

Job Responsibilities:
