Social Media Manager

About Opportunity Hack

We're a nonprofit that connects tech volunteers with nonprofits who need software. Our hackathons bring together developers, designers, and product folks to build real solutions in a weekend — and our projects keep shipping year-round.

The role

Every hackathon weekend we generate stories most organizations would kill for: a team of strangers shipping a food-bank inventory system in 48 hours, a student getting their first job offer off hackathon portfolio work, a nonprofit director seeing their spreadsheet nightmare become an app. Almost none of it gets told and that's really the main job.

What you'll do

• Own our posting cadence on LinkedIn, Instagram, and Threads (2–4 posts/week)
• Mine our blog, project pages, and Slack for stories worth telling — and tell them
• Run the social push before, during, and after the Fall 2026 hackathon (the during part is the fun part)
• Watch what works and double down — you'll have our analytics and full creative latitude
• Recruit: every post is ultimately about bringing in volunteers, nonprofits, and sponsors

Who this is for

• Aspiring social media / content / comms folks who want a real brand to run, not a mock portfolio piece
• Experienced marketers who want to give back with skills they already have
• You write clearly, you ship consistently, and you don't need someone to hand you a content calendar

What you get

This is a volunteer role, and it is not paid — we are a nonprofit with very limited funds. What we can offer is real:

• Real, portfolio-worthy experience with actual users, constraints, and deadlines — not a side project that never ships
• Hearts toward certificates, plus LinkedIn recommendations and references from people who watched you deliver
• A leadership title you can put on your resume, backed by work anyone can verify
• The satisfaction of helping nonprofits get software they could never afford

Everyone who runs Opportunity Hack has a full-time job. We volunteer because we believe tech can do good. Join us.

The fine print

• We are unable to sponsor visas. This is an unpaid volunteer role.
• We run on Slack and email — fast, clear communication is the core skill for every role here.
• We'd love someone who sticks around past Fall 2026, but we'll take all the help we can get.
