What are the responsibilities and job description for the Director of Rural Learning Networks position at Dakota Resources?
The future of rural is here. Come build it with us.
We’re looking for someone to lead and grow Thriverr, our peer learning network for rural community and economic development leaders. Thriverr already offers daily content, a deep resource library, and 50 virtual and in-person events a year.
What you can expect to do:
→ Make Thriverr a network people want to belong to and come back to
→ Launch a new resource provider network of the funders, agencies, and experts rural leaders need
→ Lead the build of Thriverr 2, a new platform with AI that helps leaders find the right resources and each other, without replacing the conversation
→ Run the programs and calendar, from cohorts and courses to gatherings
You might be a fit if you’ve built a community, membership, or learning platform that people wanted to belong to, you understand network effects, and you already use AI in your own work every day. Rural experience is a bonus, but you do need to show us how you’re rooted in rural.
