Community Strategy Manager

Articulate
United States
The Community Strategy Manager focuses on translating the community team strategy into actionable work across the team. This role is responsible for maintaining, updating, and adding granularity to our big-picture strategy based on our team vision and business alignment. This role is involved in most projects across the team from a strategist, consultant, or advisory perspective, and is responsible for ensuring that the broad array of projects both internal and external to the community team that tap ELH are aligned, visible, and efficient. 

This person in this role should be an experienced player in the community space with expertise, exemplars, and industry contacts that make them a peer mentor who can help community subject-matter specialists on the team keep their projects aligned with industry best-practices. This person is also the go-to strategic collaborator for cross-functional groups, helping “clients” of the community Center of Excellence determine aligned, symbiotic goals alongside implementation specialists on the community team. This person is a key collaborator, alongside the Director and Community Operations Manager, in the preparation and presentation of community data.

What You'll Do:

    • Translate the community team’s big-picture strategy into actionable work across the team that consistently delivers on target business outcomes that support company-wide strategic goals.
    • Independently develop and implement community strategies while collaborating with leadership on major strategic pivots.
    • Establish and maintain data dashboards and sharing cadences with internal teams that help us bridge the gap between big-picture impact and day-to-day decision-making, in collaboration with our Director, Community and Community Operations Manager. 
    • Maintain a high-degree of knowledge of the trends, best-practices, and key players in the community industry, especially in the SaaS and educational technology spaces 
    • Drive innovation in our strategic approach to community based on evolving industry trends.
    • Act as a peer mentor on the community team to help subject-matter specialists maintain programs that are aligned with community industry best practices.
    • Act as the key collaborator for external teams with the community center of excellence, helping internal “clients” of the community program to determine aligned, symbiotic business goals and bring them into action with implementation specialists on the community team. 
    • Lead cross-functional initiatives that integrate community strategy with marketing, product, and customer success objectives.
    • Act as a strategic partner to implementation specialists on the community team to create strategically-aligned, data-driven community projects and programs. 
    • Provide consistent and varied support to our growing suite of community programs and engagement tactics, and where appropriate owning aspects or entire programs that are strategic in nature or that need scaling support.
    • Participate in regular formal and informal engagement cadences with our customer community, E-Learning Heroes, to ensure that strategic work is authentically aligned with the needs and interests of our members.

What You Should Have:

    • 8-12 years combined work experience in customer-facing roles, with at least 5-8 of those years focused on community management, preferably within a SaaS or technology company. Strong preference for 3-4 of those years focused on a specialized community or IC leadership role within a scaled community team. 
    • Demonstrated ability to balance the big picture with day-to-day action. The ideal person in this role is a highly strategic thinker but still loves to roll up their sleeves and get into the weeds of projects with their teammates.
    • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills that allow them to function as a respected peer mentor on their teams and influence community-oriented outcomes with other teams. 
    • Demonstrated ability to manage highly cross-functional projects with complex stakeholder maps. 
    • Top-tier community industry knowledge. The ideal candidate for this role has their finger on the pulse of the community industry and understands the key players to model off of, the industry best practices, and the coming innovations to anticipate. 
    • Understanding of industry practices in community data. The ideal candidate for this role understands the keyways community teams prove ROI but also understands how to gather data that informs day-to-day decision-making—and understands the difference. 
    • Ability to thrive in a workstream that includes a combo of behind-the-scenes and community-facing work, with a strong skew toward the former. Every person on our community team loves interacting with our members regularly, the ideal candidate will share this view. That said, this role is probably about an 80/20 split between behind-the-scenes work and community-facing work respectively.

    • Experience with communities run on Khoros, particularly Aurora 
    • Experience in the E-learning industry
