This role sits at the intersection of marketing, community, content, and growth, with direct exposure to AI-native platforms and global developer ecosystems. You’ll help tell the story of hackathons as launchpads for the future — and help scale that story across channels, communities, and events.
You will work closely with platform, ecosystem, and operations teams to translate real activity into compelling marketing narratives, campaigns, and growth loops.

• Turning hackathon activity into stories, highlights, and social content
Content & Storytelling
• Writing and editing blog posts, social posts, announcements, and updates
• Creating case studies from hackathon winners, teams, and startups
• Helping shape platform narratives around AI, innovation, and builder culture
• Supporting newsletters and ecosystem updates
Growth & Campaign Support
• Assisting with launch campaigns for new hackathons and partners
• Helping manage email, social, and community-driven growth loops
• Tracking engagement metrics and helping optimize content performance
• Supporting experiments across channels (organic, partnerships, community, events)
Brand & Platform Marketing
• Helping refine how Hackathon.Exchange is positioned to developers and sponsors
• Supporting website, landing page, and platform copy improvements
• Collaborating with product and ops teams to surface new features and wins
• Assisting in building a consistent brand voice across channels
