You're obsessed with working smarter. You use AI tools every day (maybe you’ve built your own Gems and GPTs) and love to share your learnings with your team. Above all, you care deeply about social impact tech and are excited to apply your digital marketing skills to help scale world-changing tech nonprofits.

This position is based in San Francisco, CA; it is a full-time, in-office role (no remote work).
