The Rails Foundation seeks a Project Manager to drive projects that enhance documentation, education, and community events for Rails. This part-time contract-to-hire role will involve project management across various pillars, contributing to educational resources, marketing efforts, and event planning. Candidates should have strong communication skills, experience in project management, and ideally, familiarity with Rails or Ruby.
This is not a Rails developer position.
Please note: We are only fielding applications from candidates based in the U.S. or Europe, with a strong US preference. If that's not you, please do not apply.
About the Rails Foundation
The Rails Foundation exists to improve the documentation, education, marketing, and events that support the worldwide Rails community so that more people can discover, learn, build, and succeed with Rails.
We are now seeking an organized Project Manager to help further that mission.
About the Role
A Project Manager at the Rails Foundation will work directly with the Foundation’s leadership to manage projects across all of the foundation’s “pillars”. We are looking for someone who knows how to take a project from start to completion, and who is excited to jump in and own the work.
You would build educational resources, support marketing efforts, own event work streams, and support the day-to-day operations that help Rails grow. Here are projects you could be working on across our pillars:

Details
This is a part-time contract-to-hire role, with the goal of converting to a full-time staff position within the next year.
Compensation for the full-time role is $80,000/year (with the goal of onboarding to full time by next year). Before that, it will be a part-time freelance role, so the compensation will be adjusted accordingly.
This is a fully remote position, though some travel will be required for community events and conferences.
We are only fielding applications from candidates based in the U.S. or Europe, with a strong preference US. U.S. employees will be hired directly through the Rails Foundation (a Delaware nonprofit). International candidates will be employed via a global EOR platform.
The Rails Foundation welcomes people of all backgrounds to apply. All employment decisions are decided on the basis of qualifications, experience, merit, and business need. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, gender, or other applicable legally protected characteristics.
Note: While we respect everyone’s right to participate in political expression and activism outside of the workplace, the foundation will stay focused on our mission: improving Rails for developers everywhere. We will therefore not be weighing in on politics and causes unrelated to our direct mission. You should be comfortable with this.
If you recognize yourself in the above description, we’d love to hear from you.
Please send your resume and cover letter to --- before May 30.
