I think part of my confusion (maybe the biggest chunk of it) comes from terminology and naming. I guess you're not really trying to hire a "storyteller," you're trying to hire a "public relations (fundraising)" person. One title is obviously a bit more poetic, but also a lot more confusing, I think. The other aspect to this that's confusing to me is the underlying purpose of the "Community Department." Best as I can tell, it's largely focused on fundraising. Is there a description of the current "Community Department" that clarifies what it does (other than fundraising)? I'm not saying that Wikimedia shouldn't have a team devoted to fundraising, but I don't really understand why it's named the way it is. Is there something wrong with it being named the "Fundraising Department"? I can't imagine I'm the only one confused about this.
