Have you checked out the new Community Guy Job Board website? http://www.communityguy.com/jobs/
There’s a lot of great positions over on the Community Guy Jobs Board, but every once in a while I get excited about one job in particular that I see posted. In fact, I’m going to start a new series, focused on highlighting some of those great positions, just to help with the current job environment however possible.
The first Cool Job Alert comes from my former boss at LEGO, a fantastic guy running a fun team.
The LEGO Group is looking for an experienced Online Community Lead to join our Community team. Reporting to the Head of LEGO Community Development, you will be leading LEGO community building in the online space targeting several LEGO user audiences aged 13 and older. Our user audiences include adult and teenage LEGO fans, teachers, gamers, parents, organizations and “creative minds” with high LEGO affinity.
Spearhead LEGO community development online
Your overall focus will be on two significant development projects that are strategic priorities for the LEGO Group. One of these projects focuses on growing connectivity among LEGO users and online visibility of user created LEGO content. The other project relates to user involvement in LEGO Universe, a LEGO MMOG currently in development.
Your work will involve mapping and benchmarking of the LEGO online community and follow-up on key metrics. Also, you will develop and implement business plans for the “Online Community Innovation” area. As team leader and strategist, you will ensure holistic project planning and execution from a company overall perspective. Finally, you will play a crucial part in establishing and maintaining strong networks with key stakeholders – including volunteer lead users – across and beyond the company.

You may have wondered why my blogging has been relatively quiet lately, and I’m pleased as punch to be able to share why. In addition to the crazy flurry of activity related to AEV 2.0, I’ve been working away on relaunching the Community Guy Job Board.
The new site is a vastly improved experience that will hopefully make it far easier to seek jobs and find candidates. With the new site, you will find some fantastic new features:
* Employers: Searching & browsing resumes and candidates is now a core function
* Employers: Posting and managing job openings is much easier
* Employers: Alerts and updates to help you keep up with new candidate profiles
* Seekers: Privacy options
* Seekers: On-site resume creation for easier application
And that’s just the short list.
At the moment, the site is still free. Posting jobs doesn’t cost a dime, applying doesn’t cost a dime. (I’m considering changing that for a number of reasons, but more on that later) My only request is that job openings stay relevant to community and social media work. (I take a pretty liberal interpretation, but use your best judgement)
I couldn’t have launched this new tool without the help of the fantastic tech wizardry of David Sabol (@desabol). Please tell him thanks and/or keep in mind when you need a PHP badass.
So what are you waiting for? Head over to the Community Guy Job Board and see what great new opportunities exist!
