Community & Partnerships Manager

About Edversity

Edversity is a technology education company focused on building future-ready talent in areas including Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, Data, Cloud, and emerging technologies. We work with learners, universities, industry, communities, and ecosystem partners to create meaningful learning and career opportunities.
We are now looking for someone who can build a strong, active, and highly engaged community around Edversity, while developing partnerships that expand our reach and impact.

About the Role

You will be expected to build relationships, activate universities, create memorable events, develop partnerships, recruit and manage ambassadors, and turn the Edversity community into a powerful engine for growth, engagement, and opportunities.
If you are someone who enjoys meeting people, building networks from scratch, bringing communities together, and making things happen, we want to hear from you.

• Maintain strong relationships with existing partners and continuously identify opportunities to expand those relationships.
