COMMUNITY MANAGER
In a world where ecommerce is increasingly uniform and conversion-optimized, Indiegogo delivers to consumers an experience that is uniquely human. We’re a two-sided marketplace that unites backers and entrepreneurs in the pursuit of hardware innovations in technology and design, and creative creations. For the community manager in particular, our business — and our way of running it — offers some special opportunities:
Cultivate communities that care – Relative to typical ecommerce, Indiegogo has a much deeper relationship with its customers. Because of this relationship, you’ll have a unique opportunity to connect with users and solve problems that impact lives and behaviors more foundationally. Your efforts will help grow and reinforce an active community of tech and hardware enthusiasts.
Join a product team dedicated to community – Most community managers have to work with the technology they’re given. We’re different. As Indiegogo builds our community from the ground up, you will have the chance to move quickly, to own complete problems/opportunities, and to help guide the course of an entire product experience — all within a company that knows how to ship product and celebrates community as our #1 priority.
Enjoy a culture of empowerment and fun – With an office in downtown San Francisco and a team that prioritizes professional growth, positive collaboration, and personal wellbeing, Indiegogo is a place to take your career to the next level. This is your chance to explore bold new ideas with the support of a team that relishes in your victories and personal growth.
