Location: Chicago, IL
Job Description
The Point is looking for a full-time, Chicago-based community manager.
Requirements
- You should be an avid user of “social media” sites. Facebook, MySpace, digg, reddit, Newsvine, etc. The prospect of “friending” someone you don’t really know should not make you uneasy. You should read blogs, love RSS, and understand tags.
- You must write well. You must also be comfortable writing in Web dialect; that means expressing emotion through emoticons and LOLs, improperly using ellipses… and frequently ending sentences with exclamation points!
- It’s a big plus if you’re passionate about “changing the world” or whatever you want to call it.
Responsibilities
- Help users develop campaigns and get the word out
- Help spread the word to communities around the Web
- Generally work with users to give them the best possible site experience
Send us:
- Resume
- Cover letter explaining why you’re the person for this job
- The five websites you most frequent, and links to your profiles, if possible.
- Basic writing samples (not necessarily in the Web dialect mentioned above)
About The Point
The Point is a website for organizing group actions. We help people congregate around the issues they care about and combine forces to make things happen. Campaigns (group actions) on The Point are all based on the “tipping point” model – participants take action to solve their problem, but only once a critical mass of people have committed such that the combined force will “tip” the issue. The Point helps you know in advance whether your participation will make a difference.
