Social Media Manager

Support a startup making sustainable ridesharing easy for everyone

Rideshare Group is a network of niche carpooling platforms designed to reduce carbon emissions, increase transport accessibility, and foster stronger community connections.

By enabling people with empty seats in their vehicles to easily share rides with others travelling to the same destination, we directly address issues of sustainability, affordability, and social inclusion.

Our platform serves diverse communities — from outdoor enthusiasts (Mountain Rideshare, Surf Rideshare), to sports fans (Football Rideshare), to cultural event participants (Festival Rideshare). In addition, we actively work to include passengers with mobility challenges or disabilities who often face limited transport options, particularly in rural or underserved areas. By making carpooling more accessible for disabled individuals, we help remove barriers to social participation, employment, healthcare, and recreation.

Beyond the environmental benefits of reducing single-occupancy vehicle use and lowering CO₂ emissions, Rideshare Group contributes to more affordable, inclusive, and sustainable transportation solutions that strengthen both local and regional communities across Europe.

Driving alone is inefficient, expensive, and unsustainable.

• 70%+ of car journeys in the EU/UK are single-occupancy
• Rising fuel costs and climate concerns
• Public transport often doesn’t reach remote destinations like mountains, festivals, or surf spots
• Safety concerns and lack of trust in generic carpooling options

We’re looking forward to connecting with people who would help DRIVE the Rideshare project forward!

Role (Volunteer): Social Media Manager.

Role Description: We’re looking for a creative and proactive Social Media Manager to lead the online presence for Rideshare Group — a growing family of niche carpooling platforms, including Football Rideshare, Mountain Rideshare, Surf Rideshare, and more.

You’ll take ownership of our social media channels, developing a fun, inclusive, and mission-driven voice for each vertical. This includes planning and scheduling posts, creating engaging content (in Canva or similar tools), growing our follower base, interacting with communities, and aligning posts with seasonal events, sport calendars, festivals, and sustainability themes.

You’ll also collaborate with our founder and volunteers to highlight milestones, community stories, environmental impact stats, and partnerships — helping us build trust, attract users, and inspire behaviour change.

Time Commitment: Volunteer 7-9 hours per week for 3-5 months remotely
