About Race for Impact
Race for Impact is the global, mass participation fundraising movement between HYROX and High Impact Athletes. We exist at the intersection of fitness and purpose, turning races into real-world change for causes across Global Health, Mental Health, Animal Welfare, Women’s Empowerment, and Climate Solutions sectors.
We've raised $8M in our first year, and we're growing fast. Now we need someone who lives and breathes social to turn that growth into a name everyone in sports and giving recognises.
About High Impact Athletes
Race for Impact is powered by High Impact Athletes (HIA). We leverage the influence of elite athletes who want to do maximum good by fundraising money for the most effective charities in the world. Race for Impact is our fastest-growing programme, turning the booming fitness race scene into a positive force. We're backed by effective giving principles: driven by evidence, cost-effectiveness, and real outcomes.
About the Role
You’ll own our day-to-day social presence for @raceforimpact spanning multiple channels. This is a content-first role for someone who's just as comfortable making punchy edits as they are writing a pithy caption and planning out a social calendar.
You'll work closely with our marketing team and collaborate across a high-performing remote team that spans multiple time zones. What we need is someone with strong content instincts, sharp social intuition, insight into the latest trends, and the go-getter energy needed to help grow a large and engaged audience. You are someone who also cares deeply about being part of a purpose-led mission built to create impact at scale.
