Need a Community Manager?
In my travels through the Web, conferences, user group meetings, blogs, and various other connection points, I run into quite a few people who ask both "How can I become a community manager?" and "How can I find qualified community manager types to hire?"
This is going to be the topic of an upcoming Clue Unit podcast, but generally, if you have a need for a community manager for your business, or if you’re interested in a job in the community business, drop me a line (jake AT communityguy DOT com). I’ll do my best to help make introductions between potential employee and potential employer.
(FYI, I have several contacts right this moment who are talented, smart, and looking for community manager roles)

Jake, I’d love to see a job description for a community manager role. A client is preparing to create the role and has asked for input. I poked around a bit and didn’t find any job descriptions that I thought were relevant.
I’m looking for a community manager position. I have years of experience as a direct marketer and have managed a blog for my employer.
If you’re looking for a community manager with excellent customer relationship skills, both online and by post, I’d love to hear from you. I live in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul.
I suggest using linked in, I got several good leads there.
As far a Job Description goes…my current one reads somthing like:
* Actively moderate Content, Comments in profiles, chat and message boards.
* Flag inappropiate content for review or deletion.
* Oversee banning/reinstatement of members, using online adminstrative tools.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I would also point those folks to LinkedIn (I’ve received a number of leads because of it).
I don’t know if you have a list of Community Marketing folks around. If not, Jeremiah Owyang (web-strategist.com/blog) might name a few folks for consideration.
