Community Manager (Slack Community, Events & Member Engagement) – Remote | Full-Time

Position Type: Full-Time, Remote
Working Hours: U.S. Business Hours

About the Role

We’re hiring a Community Manager to lead and grow a private entrepreneur community (~160 members).

This is a high-ownership, relationship-first role — you’re not just moderating a community, you’re building connections, driving engagement, and ensuring members stay active and satisfied.

You will:

  • Lead daily conversations in Slack
  • Connect members with each other
  • Coordinate high-quality events
  • Track engagement and improve retention

If you enjoy building relationships, starting conversations, and creating energy in a community — this role is built for you.

What You’ll Own

Daily Community Engagement (Core Focus)

  • Actively manage conversations in Slack
  • Start discussions and keep engagement high
  • Maintain a professional, upbeat, and welcoming tone
  • Ensure no member feels ignored or disconnected

Relationship Building & Member Connections

  • Introduce members based on:
    • Goals
    • Industry
    • Interests
  • Act as the connector of the community
  • Build trust and encourage collaboration

Member Check-Ins & Retention

  • Conduct regular member check-ins (every 3–6 months)
  • Identify:
    • Engagement gaps
    • Risks of churn
    • Opportunities to improve experience
  • Proactively solve issues before they escalate

Event Coordination & Execution

  • Plan and manage:
    • Retreats
    • Dinners
    • Meetups
  • Handle logistics end-to-end
  • Deliver a premium, high-quality experience

Engagement Tracking & Reporting

  • Track:
    • Participation levels
    • Member activity
    • Event attendance
  • Report insights to improve engagement and retention

Feedback & Survey Management

  • Run surveys using:
    • Typeform
  • Analyze feedback and identify trends
  • Turn insights into actionable improvements

What Makes You a Strong Fit

  • Outgoing and confident starting conversations
  • Natural relationship builder
  • Strong communicator (Slack, email, calls)
  • Customer-first mindset (member satisfaction = priority)
  • Highly proactive and ownership-driven
  • Organized and detail-oriented

Requirements (Must-Have)

  • Strong spoken English (clear, neutral, US-friendly)
  • Excellent written communication skills
  • Experience in:
    • Community management
    • Customer success
    • Relationship management
  • Experience coordinating events or member experiences
  • Comfortable working U.S. hours
  • Reliable remote work setup

Nice to Have

    • Slack
  • Familiarity with:
    • Typeform
  • Experience with U.S.-based clients
  • Background in:
    • Events
    • Customer success
    • Membership communities
  • Experience improving:
    • Engagement
    • Retention
  • Based in LATAM or Africa (preferred, not required)

What a Typical Day Looks Like

  • Start conversations and engage members in Slack
  • Connect members based on goals and interests
  • Monitor engagement and follow up with inactive members
  • Plan and coordinate upcoming events
  • Review feedback and engagement data
  • Share insights and updates with internal team

In short:
You are the heartbeat of the community — keeping it active, connected, and valuable.

Key Metrics (KPIs)

  • Daily Slack engagement and activity levels
  • Member satisfaction (check-ins + surveys)
  • Event participation rates
  • Number of meaningful member connections
  • Retention and churn reduction
  • Accuracy of engagement tracking and reporting

Why This Role Stands Out

  • High ownership — you run the community
  • Direct impact on retention and client experience
  • Blend of:
    • Community
    • Events
    • Strategy
  • Opportunity to grow into:
    • Head of Community
    • Member Experience Lead

Interview Process

  • Initial Phone Screen
  • Recruiter Interview
  • Practical Task (community scenario)
  • Client Interview
  • Offer & Background Verification
