About the Role:

The part-time Crowdfunding Specialist’s main task is providing personalized feedback to crowdfunding projects that submit for review on the site, as well as representing the Seed&Spark crowdfunding team by leading crowdfunding workshops and, on occasion, speaking as a crowdfunding authority and Seed&Spark representative on panels put on by film festivals and partner organizations.
