Community Makers

Overview

Help us open and grow small satellite Impact Hubs that turn local insight into local opportunity. As a Community Host you’ll be the face, heartbeat, and organiser of your town’s hub: onboarding members, running weekly meet-ups and mini-labs, coordinating pop-up coworking days, and connecting entrepreneurs to mentors, markets, and funding. You’ll convene NGOs, schools, businesses, and municipal partners to co-design place-based pilots (Incubator sprints, Local Loop supplier onboarding, micro-franchise exploration) and capture outcomes so we can scale what works. It’s a builder’s role: equal parts community, facilitation, and light operations—perfect for someone who loves turning relationships into results.

What we’re looking for (ideal profile)

• A trusted connector in your town with a bias for action and inclusive leadership.

• Skilled facilitator & event wrangler who can host energising sessions and keep logistics tight.

• Entrepreneurial operator: comfortable with checklists, budgets, calendars, and impact reporting.

• Partnership builder who can engage local government, schools, NGOs, and businesses.

• Digitally fluent (Google Workspace, Airtable/Sheets, WhatsApp Communities, simple CMS updates).

• Values-driven: DEI-aware, community-first, and excited to shift ownership from the 1% to the 99%.

Why this is exciting

You’ll launch first-of-its-kind micro-hubs across the Winelands, backed by a globally connected Impact Hub network, practical training, and a clear playbook—while shaping real outcomes: ventures launched, micro-suppliers onboarded, local spend kept local.
