THE SHORT VERSION

Endless Clubs is going to become the campus arm of a global game development movement  and you are the person who selects and helps start the first clubs this Fall. 

Within a few years, we hope to have hundreds of clubs at colleges and universities across the world. In addition to having fun and mentoring younger gamers, the club's goal is to turn game players into game makers who improve and demonstrate their career readiness by working on some of the many hard and soft skills required to make and market great games. We are building a global movement to democratize game development. We need a proven community builder to get us seeded and jump started on our first campuses.

By August 31, you have to hand David a list of named, screened, ready-to-launch Ambassadors at every priority campus, with a launch plan for each. That is the deliverable. Everything else you do this summer rolls up to that.

WHAT YOU WILL ACTUALLY DO

• Build the Ambassador application from intake form through screening rubric through interview process.
• Outreach to existing game dev clubs at NYU, Columbia, Harvard, Stanford, Yale, UVM, ASU, and 4–6 passion-driven campuses you surface yourself.
• Set up the Endless Clubs Discord. Structure it, moderate it, populate it before the founding cohort arrives.
• Screen every applicant. Run first-round interviews with the most promising. Bring finalists to the Lead and David.
• Coordinate the soft-preview Vermont retreat — get the right 8–10 confirmed Ambassadors there, run the program.
• Pack the welcome boxes. Schedule onboarding calls. Make sure no Ambassador shows up to school in September without having heard from us first.

WHO YOU ARE

• You are a hustler. Networking is one of your super powers and cold outreach does not faze you. You can reach out to a stranger and get a reply.
• You are currently a college student or recent graduate and have organized something at the scale of a campus club, conference, or movement.
• You are organized. You can run a hiring funnel without dropping balls.
• You are a strong judge of people. Your taste in Ambassadors will define the first cohort, which will define the program.
• Bonus: you already know the game dev community at one or more priority campuses.

WHY THIS JOB

You are picking the founding cohort. The 22-ish people who, a year from now, will be running clubs at 11–13 campuses. The first hires of any organization define the rest forever. That is what you are doing here.

TO APPLY

• Submit a one-paragraph answer to: "Which three campuses would you target first for the founding cohort, and how would you find the right person at each one?"
• Submit a one-paragraph answer to: "Tell us about a person you successfully recruited for something — a club, a project, a job — and how you spotted and landed them."
• Two references — at least one from someone you have organized with.

No cover letters. Show us how you think.
