About the Job

The GitHub Education team is looking for a full-time team member to work with our Campus Experts!

GitHub Campus Experts are students who build technical communities on campus with training and support from GitHub. They can be found all over the world, leading computer science clubs, organizing hackathons for hundreds of students, or doing outreach programs to local communities. By becoming a GitHub Campus Expert, a student gains privileged access to resources (sponsorship, swag, global community), further educational resources (training, webinars, access to GitHub employees), and opportunities (scholarships, conference attendance).

GitHub Campus Experts exist first and foremost to better the technical community on their campus. When applicants join the program, they write a plan defining how they will impact their campus, and our only expectation of them throughout the program is that they enact that plan. This plan does not require any explicit GitHub interactions; for example, we do not enforce the presentation of workshop topics relevant to GitHub. A Campus Expert is not a Student Ambassador: improving their community is the primary goal, with GitHub supporting that goal.

As a Community Manager on the GitHub Education team, you will support students building technical communities around the world. You will work closely with Education’s Product and Engineering teams to highlight areas of the work we’re doing to support students and be responsible for growing and maintaining the Campus Experts program. Your primary goal is to support students in building their skills and connecting with like-minded individuals in the tech industry. This will involve engaging with students, organizing events and workshops, and providing resources to help them succeed.
