[Hiring] Program Lead, Technical Mentoring @CodeDay

Role Description

Mentors are the lifeblood of CodeDay Labs, and mentor managers help us recruit, onboard, train, and provide support to the mentors who oversee student projects. You'll support a team of 3-20 mentors (your choice):

• Recruit mentors (optional): Reach out to engineering leadership at a few tech companies, and present information about why their employees should volunteer.
• Onboard mentors: One ~15min phone call to determine interests and match them with one of our partner open source projects.
• Monitor: During the program, ensure all teams are meeting regularly, and review weekly reflections from mentors and students. Raise any concerns with program staff.
• Check in: During the program, check in with your mentors every 1-2 weeks about any issues or feedback.

Most of these activities will take place at your own schedule.

Qualifications

• Good organizational skills (or otherwise happy to edit things in a spreadsheet).
• Comfortable taking on the phone and writing emails.
• At least hand-wavey-level knowledge of how teams develop software, and some modern tooling (consuming/building APIs, what goes into front-end/mobile/back-end development, etc).
• Available during some US working hours each weekday.
• College students or responsible high school students are probably a good fit.

Requirements

• You don't need to know how to do these things, but you need to be able to talk about them enough to help match a mentor to a project.

Benefits

• You'll be paid as a contractor:
• $50 per mentor managed.
• $50 per mentor recruited, if any, as a result of your efforts.
• $50 per session for your time attending meetings with our program staff.
• You're also welcome to do this as a volunteer job, if you'd like to help us get more students into the program.
