Outgoing, eloquent and friendly Community Manager.
This is our pitch to prospective students:
"Data Science Retreat (DSR) is the only data science course in the world with chief-data-scientist-level mentors. DSR helps coders or people with significant quantitative training (e.g. science, engineering, or math graduates) ramp-up rapidly for a data science career - arguably the fastest-growing, highest-demand profession.
DSR is a 3-month, in-person, rigorous, and full-time/intensive course in the startup-capital of Europe: Berlin. You’ll learn software engineering, data science, business analysis and communication faster and more deeply with mentors doing code reviews and pair-programming - all on real-world data and problems. You will develop a portfolio project, demonstrating you can own a business problem, solve it, and communicate why your results are definitive.
You bring your training, tuition, and drive to master our curriculum alongside our world-class mentors and partners. Towards the end we provide a networking event with top-tier technology companies, where you will show off your new skills and portfolio project, likely leaving with a career-changing job."
We're looking for someone to take charge of operations, accounting, and event coordination at Data Science Retreat. This job will entail everything from managing our office space to handling inbound email to planning events to working with our accountant.
You will get to meet lots of interesting people and companies, and be at the center of the data science action in EU.

_____________________________________
We're looking for someone who writes well, exercises good judgement, is extremely effective, and is energized by being around other people.
Hours:
The job will initially be 20 hours per week on a freelance basis. Assuming you can meet your targets equally well, then you can work from home most days, meaning you'll save that unpaid daily waste that exists in other jobs: commuting.

• Market rate pay
• A friendly and intellectual atmosphere, and a tight-knit and supportive team.
• A warm and welcoming office (near lots of good food and transit).

• Lots of interaction with famous data scientists who come to teach or give talks.
• Potential for growth. If you get things done, you will be a permanent hire. If you understand the business side of DSR, and help achieving objectives, you will be a crucial part of it
