We're Hiring A Community Manager
By: Amber Naslund
It’s been an incredible year at Radian6, with lots of amazing things happening, the launch (now in preview) of our new Engagement Console, events, great clients, you name it.
And with that kind of activity comes growth, including growth for our community team. You’re probably already acquainted with Lauren Vargas, Katie Morse, and Teresa Basich, who are doing some great work to help support our customers and community with content, engagement and connection, and presence at events. And of course there’s David Alston, the captain of our community ship.
We’re now on the hunt for an outstanding community manager to join our team, and help us support our clients in the agency market – public relations, advertising, communications, marketing, that sort of thing.
If you have solid agency experience and think you’ve got what it takes to join our team as a community manager, send an email to me, Amber Naslund, Director of Community with a bit about why. Include your experience and/or resume, but most importantly, tell me how your experience and interest plays well into a community role and why you think you’re right for it.
A bit about the position is listed below. The right candidate can be located remotely (US or Canada), and salary is commensurate with experience.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
