The Community Company Is Hiring an Online Manager — No Degree Required

Remote job? Check. Full-time hours? Check again. Paid time off, health benefits and a 401(k)?

Ding ding! Folks, we just might have a winner on our hands.

The Community Company is in the business of building and managing online communities for various brands, and it is currently hiring a community manager.

This is a full-time, remote position and available to candidates across the country. But if you live in the Boston area, you do have the option of working out of the company’s office — ya know, in case you feel like seeing people every once in a while.

As a community manager, you’ll spend your time managing the company’s online platforms, facilitating engagement between members and basically ensuring that things go smoothly.

No formal education is required, but interested applicants should have some sort of previous experience managing an online community or forum.

After all, the word “community” is literally in the job title. And company name.

If online engagement isn’t your thing or you’re more interested in a part-time gig, check out our Work-From-Home Jobs Portal. We post new opportunities there all the time — and we vet them, too.
