Community Manager - Open Job Rec

Topix.com is a Top 20 News site and we are looking for a new Community Manager

Are you one of us?

* Your middle name is “Moderation”. You possess the ability to evenhandedly enforce Terms of Service in the face of potentially radical posted opinion that may push your every conceivable political and social button.

* You bring the funny. You see your role as not just the enforcer of the rules, but also the cruise director, showing our users where the party is and how to make the most of their time on Topix.

* You live community. You’ve been active in online community and social networking as either a Moderator or Power-User for at least two years and communicating in this medium is second nature.

Community Managers are responsible for responding to a daily influx of user questions, suggestions and concerns via email and forum posts, monitor forums for adherence to Topix Terms of Service, and step in where needed to right the proverbial ship.

Requirements include the ability to evenhandedly enforce Terms of Service in the face of potentially radical posted opinion that may challenge your own political, moral, spiritual or other such beliefs. Candidates must have a strong stomach, abundance of good humor and a passion for online community. Previous forum experience as a Moderator or “Power User” is highly relevant to this position. Please include links to online presence with submitted materials.

This is an on-site, full-time position.

If this sounds like your kind of gig, send your resume and cover letter to recruiter@topix.com.
