The Mission
Yocket is the largest community-driven platform for international education, having helped over 1 million students reach elite institutions like Harvard, MIT, and Oxford. But we aren’t done. We are looking for an Entrepreneur-in-Residence style Community Manager to turn our platform into a self-sustaining, high-velocity ecosystem.
The Challenge: 0 to 1 and 1 to 100
We don’t need a moderator; we need an architect. You will own the "Zero-to-One" creation of engagement rituals and the "One-to-100" scaling of our global student network. This isn’t about posting updates - it’s about building a digital nation for international students.
Your Charter
Strategic Architecture: Define the 10x engagement roadmap. You aren’t just following a plan; you’re building the engine that drives user retention and brand love.
The Face of Yocket: Host high-octane events, AMAs with Ivy League alumni, and community challenges. You should be as comfortable commanding a virtual room of 1,000 as you are writing a strategic brief.
Build the "Advocacy Machine": Identify, recruit, and mentor a global league of student ambassadors who will act as the heartbeat of our platform.
Data-Driven Growth: Use GA, WebEngage, MS Clarity, and Metabase to dissect user behavior. If the data shows a friction point, you work with Product to fix it.
Guard the Trust: Ensure the community remains a high-signal, zero-spam sanctuary for students making the biggest decision of their lives.
Who You Are (The Ideal Persona)
Entrepreneurial DNA: You’ve likely founded a startup or led a high-growth vertical. You treat this community like your own business.
High Agency: You don’t wait for instructions. You see a gap, you fill it. You see a fire, you put it out (or start a controlled one to get things moving).
2+ Years of High-Stakes Experience: We don’t care if your title was "Community Manager" before, but we do care that you’ve owned a P&L or a critical growth metric.
Tech-Fluent: You can talk shop with developers and translate community pain points into technical product requirements.
Data-Fluent: Hands-on with GA, WebEngage, MS Clarity, Metabase, or similar; must possess basic data exploration and analysis skills.
Why Join Us?
No "Boss" Culture: We operate on mentorship and ownership. If your idea is good, it gets built.
Comprehensive Wellness: Medical insurance for your family and access to psychological counseling because we know high-growth roles are demanding.
Flexible Environment: We care about outcomes, not clock-ins.
Global Impact: Your work directly results in students achieving their dreams of global education.
Life @ Leap
Mutual Respect
We love people who are ‘relentlessly resourceful’. Find your way out. Focus on the possibilities instead of the problems.
Bias for action
We take calculated risks backed by data and information available and encourage fail fast to find the best solutions as soon as possible
Learn & get better
Continuous learning and improvement is the key. We don’t stop learning. We treat feedback as a gift and as an opportunity to get better.
Growth mindset
We operate with a growth mindset and not a mindset of fear or judgement. You are in control of your own ability to learn and improve. We love Resilience.
