About this Opportunity

I.D.E.As. (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, & Access) at Rewriting the Code
Over the past three years, RTC has developed and led multiple immersive and cohort-based experiences for Black, Latina, and Native/Indigenous (BLNA) collegiate members. These cohorts have focused on developing and demonstrating leadership skills, affirming racial and gender identity, and deepening one’s affinity for, and knowledge of, the tech industry.

BLNA-based programming and cohorts last anywhere from 3-12 months and take place virtually, in-person, or across a hybrid setting. These experiences run singularly and simultaneously. The DEI Programs Manager will oversee year-round cohort and non-cohort based programming and experiences. This role is perfect for someone who thrives in program design, student development, virtual engagement, and who unapologetically believes in disrupting gender and racial inequity in tech.
