• 5+ years of experience in community management (or related fields), with a proven track record of building and scaling thriving creative or contributor communities.

• Deep knowledge of the UK creative and cultural landscape, with the ability to identify trends, nurture talent, and guide creators to produce culturally relevant content.

• Experience working in global organizations, with the ability to balance global strategy and local execution.

• Hands-on with community management platforms (e.g. Discord, Facebook Groups, Circle, or similar), and skilled at creating engaging community experiences.

• Comfortable with productivity and marketing tools such as Google Suite, Monday.com, Hubspot, or equivalent for tracking, reporting, and communications.

• Event planning expertise, able to coordinate and deliver both online and offline activations that inspire and connect creators.

• Strong public speaking and facilitation skills, with experience running webinars, workshops or training sessions.

• Content savvy and creative thinker, with familiarity in content creation (design, short-form video, social media campaigns) and a strong grasp of visual and community trends.

• Analytical mindset, with the ability to turn creator and content performance data into actionable insights that improve program outcomes.

• Collaborative operator, experienced in working cross-functionally with content, SEO, marketing and content teams to align on strategy and drive impact.
