Why join our team

A small team. A growing community. A real chance to shape it.

AI & Tech Manila started as a few friends and a WhatsApp group. Today, it's hundreds of people gathering every month — founders, engineers, students, and curious minds.

We're still tiny behind the scenes. If you're driven by community, collaboration, and the way technology brings people together, we'd love your help — and we'll make sure your work actually matters.

Open Roles

Two roles. Real ownership.

These aren't busywork posts — you'd lead a piece of how the community grows. Pick the role that fits the shape of your work best.

  • check_circle Reach out to potential partners, sponsors, and collaborators
  • check_circle Strengthen ties with startups, companies, and orgs
  • check_circle Help shape joint events and ecosystem initiatives

A good fit for: business development folks, connectors, and people energized by building bridges between communities.

The Commitment

What we ask in return.

It's a volunteer role — so the bar is real ownership of a slice, not full-time hours.

Time commitment

~3 hrs / week

Plus the monthly event if you can make it. Mostly async — we don't pretend otherwise.

01

Own your slice

Run your area with judgment, not waiting for approval on every move.

02

Communicate honestly

If life gets busy, just say so. We'd rather you set a slower pace than burn out quietly.

03

Show up for the community

Help newcomers feel welcome. Curiosity over credentials, every time.

04

Bring your taste

Push back when something feels off. We hire volunteers for their judgment, not their politeness.

Why Join

What you'd get out of it.

No pay — but a real footprint on something a lot of people care about, and the kind of network that doesn't come from LinkedIn DMs.
