Community Director (Pro-Bono)

Department: Community Reports To: Founder/CEO (Close partnership with Media Director) Location: Fully Remote Commitment: Significant volunteer leadership role (estimated 10\-15 hrs/week) Organization Overview The United Artists of Animation and Interactive Media (U\-AAIM) is a global non\-profit built by industry veterans and passionate advocates for a brighter future in entertainment! We believe sustainable creative careers should be the foundation of our global industry, not the exception. Our mission is to forge an equitable, transnational ecosystem where artists and staff can achieve lifelong financial stability—from their first break, through the peaks and valleys of their career, and into a secure retirement. We drive systemic change across borders by uniting the global workforce with two core tools: actionable industry intelligence to empower collective advocacy, and practical, career\-spanning education for professional resilience and growth. We are more than a resource; we are a mobilizing force—using transparency as a weapon against exploitation, education as a pathway to economic power, and collective action as the mechanism to reshape an entire industry. We exist to empower creators to own their careers, their value, and their future. Position Summary We are seeking a warm, systems\-minded Community Director to build the heart of our organization: the internal spaces where our students, volunteers, and alumni connect, support each other, and grow. This role is focused inward, on fostering a profound sense of belonging, facilitating peer\-to\-peer learning, and ensuring every member feels valued and heard. You will build and nurture the digital “home base” and create the programs that turn a group of individuals into a true, supportive community. You are the cultivator of our culture and the champion of our members.
