About the Role
We are looking for a bilingual community manager with project management experience to take on a new role within our core team. The ideal candidate for this job must possess a strong sense of adaptability. They will be able to adjust to new situations, work in different environments, and be open to change.
Firstly you’ll be managing some of the world-class brand communities when our in-house community managers are away, for the likes of Legion by Lenovo and Airbnb. As a Community Manager, you will implement the Online Community Strategy by managing the daily activities of the Client’s online community. You will ensure that the community is a safe and healthy environment for its members and you will facilitate engagement in line with the Community purpose. You’ll need to be able to use your community management knowledge to quickly slot into existing teams and hit the ground running, taking the initiative and working well alongside others.
Secondly, you’ll be working alongside key members of our core team to implement varied projects across our methodology, data, product offering and operations. Comfortable with process and metrics, you’re someone who thrives in using data to inform decision-making, and you’re comfortable coordinating between people, tasks and deliverables across different workstreams.
You will be hard-working and quick to learn. Highly self-motivated – you’re the kind of person who’s always striving to do better. If you have an open, honest and collaborative approach to your job, you’ll fit right in.
