Hi @team,
I’ve been OpenCraft’s de-facto marketing specialist for a couple of years now, but I’d now like to delegate this role to another team member. Marketing is not my specialty (and frankly, not a strong interest), and I’d like to focus more on my admin role, and shift my Core Contributor role towards other commitments. This role would be a good fit for someone who would be interested in either learning or applying skills for promoting OpenCraft, Open edX, and being more active in the community in general. I’ve been doing the bare minimum, but I think there’s an opportunity to improve marketing efforts for OpenCraft, with things such as being more involved in Community activities (presenting stuff we do, and helping with Community activities) and buffing up promotional materials on the website (testimonials, projects, case studies, etc.). It’s not a full-time role by any means; I think 3-5h per week on average would suffice, but there’s potentially room for more.
Here are the current recurring tasks that I handle, that are related to the marketing specialist role:
- Attending the biweekly Community Marketing Working Group (they’re a great group!)
- Publishing our monthly newsletter
- Coordinating OpenCraft’s blog
I figure the person taking over would ideally need to be or become a Core Contributor (do we have some budget for this?). Also, it doesn’t need to be right now – the transition can be gradual, or happen later. Let me know!
Hopefully someone will be interested
