Head of Community

Technovation is a global nonprofit that has spent 20 years building the world’s largest technology entrepreneurship program for girls – reaching 300,000+ participants across 100+ countries. 76% of our alumnae go on to pursue STEM degrees. Following the integration of Google’s Women Tech makers community, we now steward one of the largest ecosystems of women in technology on the planet.

We are at the start of a major strategic evolution: building the systems that turn this community into an economic opportunity and support network – helping each individual grow and thrive. We’re not there yet. That’s why this role exists.

We are looking for a builder. Someone who can take a 300,000-person global community that currently operates as a seasonal volunteer program and start co-designing the systems that turn it into something more durable – a community where members gain real connections, real skills, and real opportunities that improve their professional and economic lives.

You will be building foundational infrastructure – data systems, engagement models, economic pathways in partnership with the Technovation team and broader community. You will have to be comfortable with ambiguity, resource constraints, and the reality that a nonprofit in a growth phase requires people who can think at the level of strategy and execute at the level of operations.

The community this role serves spans teenage girls in rural Kenya, mid-career software engineers in Berlin, alumna founders raising their first round, and senior executives at Fortune 500 companies. They all need different things. Part of the job is figuring out who to build for first – and designing a system that eventually serves all of them.

A community model organized around real value. We want every community member – mentors, alumnae, WTM members, educators – to gain tangible things from being part of Technovation across three dimensions:

• Resources:
  New connections, skills, and capital – through mentorship, credentialing, consulting engagements, and career pathways.
• Agency:
  Confidence, voice, and influence – through leadership opportunities, visibility, and participation in the broader technology economy.
• Achievements:
  Measurable improvements in earnings, education, career advancement, and wellbeing – the outcomes that prove the community is working.

In the first year we hope to accomplish the following:

• Conduct an end-to‑end review of the current mentor and volunteer engagement model – what’s working, what’s not, and where people are dropping off. Redesign the model for Technovation’s next phase.
• Build the data foundation. We have 20 years of participant data and no unified system for tracking outcomes beyond program completion. You’ll design the infrastructure that lets us start measuring whether community membership is improving members’ lives – not just whether they showed up.
• Design the first version of a progression pathway: program participant → alumna → mentor → working professional → community contributor. Define what value we need to provide at each stage and begin tracking conversion.
• Activate the first economic opportunities for community members – whether that’s connecting alumnae to corporate partners for consulting engagements, internships, or other paid work.
• Integrate AI tools into community operations – from data cleanup to engagement design to personalized outreach – modeling an AI‑first approach for the team.
• Launch a first version of a matching system that connects community members to real economic opportunities.

• Community Infrastructure. Design the systems and processes that convert Technovation’s community from a support network into an economic opportunity network. Define…
