World OCR is looking for an OCR enthusiast to join our team as a Community Manager and be part of strengthening connections across the international OCR community.

You might be an OCR athlete yourself, or you might be involved in the sport in another capacity. What matters most is that you understand the OCR environment, enjoy connecting people, communicate well, and want to help build a stronger community around the sport.

This is a remote volunteer opportunity that offers the chance to work alongside an international sports federation team and gain practical experience in community building within the ecosystem of OCR.

Your role

As World OCR Community Manager, you will help manage, connect, and engage our international community across digital platforms.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Community management: Help manage and moderate World OCR’s WhatsApp community and other relevant social groups.
• Athlete engagement: Encourage participation, welcome community members, and help athletes feel informed and connected.
• Community building: Initiate conversations, encourage knowledge-sharing, and identify ways to make our digital communities more active and valuable.
• Community feedback: Identify recurring questions, suggestions, and concerns, and share useful insights with the World OCR team.
• International collaboration: Work with the World OCR team to improve communication and strengthen relationships across the global OCR community.
• Continuous improvement: Help identify opportunities, initiatives, and practical improvements that make our community spaces more welcoming, useful, and engaging.

You will have the opportunity to shape how World OCR connects with the people who make the sport what it is
