Americas Regional Hub Coordinator

Team4Tech is a Silicon Valley-based nonprofit that works to expand access to quality education and economic opportunity through technology capacity building and solutions. We partner for three to five years with education-focused nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) globally, and we help them amplify their impact through technology grants and pro bono consulting projects. Our ultimate goal is to increase the number of youth and adults who are empowered with relevant skills for employment, decent jobs, and entrepreneurship (UN SDG 4.4). Since 2013, Team4Tech has engaged over 1,500 corporate volunteers to help over 50 strategic NGO partners integrate technology to advance teaching and learning for 130,000 learners in 20+ countries. Earlier this year, we launched an online Community of Practice to share educational technology tools and resources with an additional ~300 NGOs per year, reaching 13.5M learners.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

As Team4Tech expands our organization and global partnerships, we are seeking a Regional Hub Coordinator based in Latin America (with preference for Brazil or Costa Rica) to support and grow our portfolio of NGO partners in the Americas. The Americas Regional Hub Coordinator will work closely with Team4Tech staff in the United States.

Specifically, the Americas Regional Hub Coordinator will:

• Assume the role of account manager for Team4Tech’s NGO partners across Latin America, providing customized support over our long term relationships.
• Collaborate with Team4Tech’s global NGO partners to define program goals, sustainable educational technology project plans, and well-defined evaluation metrics for teaching and learning impact. Many of the NGOs are in rural areas with limited access to technology, so low-bandwidth and mobile-first platforms are often prioritized.
• Support strategic NGO partners through: boosting engagement in Team4Tech’s online Community of Practice, organizing quarterly regional hub meetings, leading local training workshops; identifying and troubleshooting technical issues that arise; supporting monitoring and evaluation data collection and report writing; and conducting monthly check-in meetings with each in-region NGO partner.
• Source new potential NGO partners in the region during recruitment and application processes, and socialize Team4Tech’s Online Community of Practice to education-focused NGOs across the region.
• Represent Team4Tech in regional ed tech forums to raise awareness of our work and facilitate relevant partnerships with edtech organizations and leaders in the region.
• Adapt, localize, and apply Team4Tech’s global strategy to the Americas.
• Support logistics and planning for onsite pro bono projects in the Americas, in coordination with Team4Tech’s Program Directors.
