Title: Community & Mentor Manager

Hours: 20+ hours a week

We’re open to starting this as either a part-time or full-time position, as long as you are a particularly great fit. If we start at part-time, we’re thinking 20 hours a week, with the potential to move into full-time down the road.

Location: NYC or LA preferred, but remote with the ability to travel occasionally is fine as long as you are incredibly reliable and highly communicative.

You are…

• A great communicator in every way! You’re confident, outgoing, and will be inspired by the challenge of organizing and communicating with groups of people online.
• An initiative taker. You are willing to work independently and take the initiative when you see opportunities to better meet the needs of our Soundfly Mentors and students.
• Detail oriented and organized. It’s important to you to get the details right, and you simply cannot fathom the idea of sending out an email with a mistake in it or mistyping someone’s name.
• Someone who is extremely passionate about music, with a strong background in the area.
• Committed to curiosity, lifelong learning, and constantly questioning how we can do things better.

You have the following skills…

• Writing. You are comfortable with the English language and consider yourself a strong writer.
• Thorough understanding of music notation and analysis
• Familiarity with music production/DAWs
• Google Suite (docs, sheets, sites, etc. — can be learned on the job quickly if need be)
• Familiarity with Slack (can be learned on the job if done quickly)

If you’re the perfect candidate, you’ll probably also have…

• Degree in music (or similar proof of technical expertise)
• Unique background as a working musician
• Experience working in music education
• Experience working with Soundfly (as a Mentor, Flypaper writer, etc.)
• Knowledge in areas of music that are less common on our team
• Experience in sales, customer service, or community management
• Basic Adobe Suite skills (Illustrator, Photoshop, Premiere, and After Effects)

To start, your day-to-day will be spent…

• Supporting the VP of Learning and Curriculum Development in managing our team of superstar Soundfly Mentors, including:
  • Tracking and administration of the program
  • Helping develop training materials and communications to Mentors
  • Regular check-ins with the VP of Learning and Curriculum Development
• Managing and growing engagement on our community Slack group so that it becomes an exciting part of our learning experience.
• Developing and implementing additional ways to build community among our students, our student alumni, and our Soundfly Mentors.
• Supporting individual students on occasion and solving programmatic problems that arise.
• Supporting the development of course materials that might improve the mentorship process or help support the production team.
