  • Run the email marketing of SSW to inspire the community and generate sales
  • Manage SSW blog in term of content creation and content distribution
  • Manage SSW social medias to interact and engage with the community
  • Build partnership deals with different Medias across the Globe to facilitate the brand awareness of Seedstars World
  • Build a network of Medias/Bloggers in the 60+ cities to generate articles and media coverage over the local and final events
  • Act as a “creative director” in terms of design (flyers, banners, videos, etc.)
  • Write and maintain various onboarding and communications tools

  • Build a team that can help in the content creation and other various tasks
Your profile
  • Previous relevant experience with the job is a MUST
  • Flexibility & International exposure - This job only makes sense for someone who is passionate about traveling and excited to go somewhere completely new, often on very little notice & with a couch surfer attitude

  • Build your network in emerging markets of tech entrepreneurs and investors
  • Join a young, passionate, hungry and growing team of entrepreneurs & facilitators
