Privacy, Surveillance and Digital Rights Coordinator

The Canadian Civil Liberties Association is seeking a talented individual to manage CCLA's privacy, surveillance and digital rights advocacy, and to spearhead, coordinate and execute the work of the International Network of Civil Liberties Organizations in this area.
The Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA) is Canada's national human rights and fundamental freedoms organization. We have been fighting for these rights and freedoms since 1964.

CCLA intervenes in Canadian courts, testifies before legislatures, advocates through all media, and engages in activism, education, and outreach across the country for privacy, dignity and fundamental freedoms for all people in Canada.

We work to actively fight against injustice, such as racial profiling by police, privacy invasions by government, prolonged solitary confinement, abortion access restrictions, unfairness in the criminal system, and restrictions on freedom of expression.


The International Network of Civil Liberties Organizations (INCLO) is a network of independent national human rights and civil liberties organizations working to promote fundamental rights and freedoms by supporting and mutually reinforcing the work of the member organizations working in their respective countries and collaborating on a bilateral and multilateral basis.

INCLO's members include CCLA, as well as the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU); the Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI); the International Human Rights Group Agora (AGORA); the Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA); the Centro de Estudios Legales y Sociales (CELS); Dejusticia; the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights (EIPR); the Human Rights Law Network (HRLN); the Hungarian Civil Liberties Union (HCLU); the Irish Council for Civil Liberties (ICCL); the Kenya Human Rights Commission; the Legal Resource Center (LRC); and Liberty.


We are looking for an individual who will split their time between managing CCLA's privacy, surveillance, and digital rights (PSDR) work, and coordinating INCLO's surveillance and digital rights (SDR) work.

In this role you will:

For CCLA:

  • Report to CCLA's Privacy Director
  • Be responsible for identifying and monitoring significant issues and developments, with respect to privacy, surveillance, and digital rights in Canada
  • Recommend priorities for CCLA's PSDR program (the Program); recommend, execute,or coordinate a strategy that may include litigation (public interest test cases, interventions, etc.); legislative advocacy, written and oral submissions to public agencies; public engagement; coalition work; research and reports; communications; or otherwise.
  • Coordinate aspects of litigation for the Program including working with external _pro bono_ counsel
  • Provide and/or coordinate legal and policy research, oral and written submissions before administrative, executive and legislative bodies.
  • Provide and/or coordinate oral and written communications for the Program, in collaboration with the Communications and Advancement teams, including web and social media posts, media releases, media appearances, opeds, public statements.
  • Work collaboratively with CCLA's Advocacy team, and also independently, to enhance CCLA's strategic goals, and its public profile.
  • Develop and maintain your own expertise and networks in order to keep the Program relevant and current.
  • Assist with fundraising and public educational work.
  • Supervise students.
  • Manage and execute discrete administrative projects or tasks or roles as required.

For INCLO:

  • Report to INCLO's Program Director
  • Work closely with the 15 INCLO member focal points in order to coordinate and manage INCLO's work on Surveillance and Digital Rights (SDR)
  • INCLO's SDR work aims to: raise awareness about the risks, dangers and potential rights infringements created by surveillance tools and techniques; put forward human rightsbased solutions to these problems and remain agile to respond to new surveillance and digital rights issues as they arise.

INCLO's goal is that, where and when relevant, INCLO members can advocate and campaign for those evidence and rights-based solutions in their jurisdictions, be that in court or in legislation so that, when implemented, they force government and private enterprises to be transparent and be held accountable.

INCLO also seeks to use our collective experience in this area of work to positively influence regional and international treaty bodies on these matters.

Stopping rights-intrusive and disproportionate snooping, by way of specific bans, moratoriums, and/or the implementation of specific rights-based safeguards, can help strengthen people's rights to autonomy, democratic participation, protest and freedom of expression.
