Studost is a social impact initiative conceptualized by an Ivy League Alumni team and is run by a team of top-notch professionals and civil servants who credit their success in life to education.

Studost Vision: All students receive relevant mentorship and accessible funding on demand so that each of them can realize their full potential.

Studost Mission: Create a global community of leading mentors and benefactors and match them with students who need mentorship and funding to navigate the paradigm shift caused by COVID-19, continue their education, and secure employment in this new world.

Position description:

One-line brief of this role is: Develop and execute a comprehensive product strategy for Studost.org as a founding team member.

This leader will work with other founding members to build the Studost.org platform to bring two large diffused groups, namely students & benefactors, together and enable trust and transactions of "good deeds" between them through relevance, ratings, reviews, and convenience enabled by DeepTech.

Think about this like Amazon.com but instead of connecting sellers with buyers of goods, you will work on connecting benefactors, the supplier of "good deeds", with students, who need mentorship and funding to enhance their career outcomes.

This role can be done remotely.
