ABOUT FAST FORWARD

THE POSITION
You know how to get people talking and listening.

You know how to identify the right stage, story, or platform—and how to get us there. You’ll position our team and our tech nonprofit founders as the leaders they are.
You believe in this work. You know that social impact isn’t a trend, and you're ready to make sure the world sees, hears, and understands the power of tech nonprofits.
This position is based in San Francisco, CA; it is a full-time, in-office role (no remote work).
