Filecoin Community Manager

We seek a Community Manager who will help us support, connect, and grow Filecoin’s many online and offline communities.

Filecoin is an open-source crypto project that cares deeply about supporting its many communities -- miner, developer, researcher, and storage communities, among others. We firmly believe that having healthy communities will be critical for the long-term health of the Filecoin Project.

As Filecoin’s first Community Manager, you will be responsible for providing tactical support for our early community, creating our global community strategy, and executing this strategy on the ground. Day-to-day, you might help us respond to community support questions, coordinate online and offline events, write development updates for our blog, and manage a team of global community ambassadors. Week-to-week in this role, you might design and implement new community engagement programs, conduct community research, and work with our communications and events teams to plan larger conferences and other events. As Filecoin’s Community Manager, you will be the face of Filecoin to the community and our communities’ advocate to the Filecoin team. Through it all -- the tactical and strategic work -- your warmth and thoughtfulness will be needed to maintain welcoming spaces for our community members.

This role comes with a tremendous amount of responsibility, but will also require you to get your hands dirty and execute. If you’re up for the challenge, we’d love for you to apply.

• Manage all community communications channels, including Slack, Matrix, Twitter, Discourse, Reddit, email, and more

• Craft Filecoin’s community narrative and personality by developing written content for our blog and other platforms
• Create new community engagement programs to increase the size, reach, and quality of our global communities
• Create a global community strategy that incorporates your insights and research about different community groups

You may be a fit for this role if you...

• Deeply understand cryptocurrency networks, their communities, and how they tend to work
• Previously managed communities for open-source projects (preferably more than one)
• Have experience with developer relations and developer support
• Have a technical background and/or fluency in technical concepts
