Ada X is looking for a Communications and Social Media Coordinator to join our permanent team!

Do you want to get involved in a horizontal and feminist structure? Do you enjoy collaborating with artists to develop visual and textual content for various platforms? Do you have experience in graphic design? Are you interested in social media and alternative communication tools?
