Job Description

WorldCorps

At WorldCorps, a new, San Francisco social venture, we teach global collaboration to young professionals worldwide through a 6-month, overseas internship and training program. The unique element of our work: participants carry out the internships in four-person, multinational teams and receive training in a larger multinational team of up to 25 people. Our pilot program will start in the San Francisco Bay Area, in January 2013, with 12 international participants ages 21-26 from around the world. Subsequent programs in late 2013 and early 2014 will bring up to 80 participants to the Bay Area, and we intend to expand internationally thereafter. Our business model is fee-based, with participants—or supporting institutions such as employers, universities, NGOs/foundations—paying a fee to WorldCorps and covering living expenses and airfare.

Position: Manager — International Marketing and Recruitment

The Manager will play a critical role in helping to launch WorldCorps, including developing a successful marketing campaign to recruit the program’s initial participants and partnering with the CEO to manage the pilot program through July 2013. Thereafter, the Manager will work with the Director of International Marketing and Recruitment on marketing and recruitment efforts designed to successfully expand WorldCorps in the Bay Area and then worldwide.
