Overview

Our mission at Udacity is to empower our students land their dream job in tech through relevant, industry-approved education. We believe that education is a lifelong pursuit, not a one-time event. As technology advances exponentially, the skills gap between job-seekers and career opportunities continues to grow. Udacity is dedicated to closing this gap by offering accessible, affordable, engaging, and highly relevant higher education to the world.

At Udacity, our students always come first. As a Community Manager, you will coordinate between our students, product teams and Udacity Mentors, to ensure student success. You will be working among a team of 4 Remote Community Managers reporting directly to the Udacity Scholarships team that sits in the Udacity headquarters (in San Francisco) as well as our partners at Google. Each community manager will be responsible for a segment of Scholarship students enrolled in a program funded by Google. For more information on the scholarship program , please have a look at our Application Landing Page, as well as this video portrait of one student from our previous Google scholarship program in Europe, which ran from January until July 2017.

You will work with an international team to engage a large community of scholarship students spread through Europe + Turkey, Israel, Egypt and Russia and maintain quality feedback to our students to ensure high graduation rates and student satisfaction. You will help organize engagement campaigns, provide strategic direction to optimize operations and create helpful career resources for the community. If you are solution-driven, people-focused, and looking for an opportunity to make an impact, we are looking for you.
