Tech & Platform Lead Skills
Serve as our Tech & Platform Lead to set up and maintain the Spotfund donate‑to‑vote campaign, create performer pages, test donation flows, and provide technical support during the 3‑week October voting window and finale. Ideal for someone comfortable building and troubleshooting web campaign pages, testing payments, using Google Sheets for reconciliations, and being on call for final‑week evening support (estimated 3–5 hours setup in Aug–Sep, 2–4 hours/week during Sept, increased availability during Oct contest).
