  • Operations

Qualifications

• A Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Communications, Business, or a related field.
• 1-3 years of experience in volunteer coordination, HR, event planning, or talent acquisition.
• Strong project management and organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple tasks and deadlines in a remote setting.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, capable of building relationships with diverse stakeholders.
• Ability to develop inclusive recruitment practices that align with TechEquity Ai’s mission of equity and accessibility.
• Creative problem-solving skills to address recruitment challenges and improve volunteer engagement.
• High attention to detail and a commitment to delivering a seamless volunteer experience.
• Ability to work independently in a remote setting, demonstrating self-motivation and effective time management.
• Passion for AI, technology, and nonprofit initiatives.

Preferred Skills

• Familiarity with AI tools such as ChatGPT for improving recruitment and engagement strategies.
• Passion for advancing equitable and ethical technology solutions.
• Set Your Schedule: Work flexibly on your own time while meeting project goals—great for balancing other commitments.
