We've all had it happen: You meet someone, ask her what she does, and she tells you her job title. And all you can think is "OK, but—I still have no idea what you do." In the digital age and the start-up world, it's not that uncommon a feeling.
So we decided to find out. Starting with the position of Community Manager, we're giving you a look at the start-up jobs you've always wondered about. Meet these seven Community Managers—from Pinterest to StumbleUpon to Kiva—and find out: What does it really mean to manage a community?
So, what exactly is a community manager?
As Chelsa Bocci from Kiva explains, it’s a bit of a grab-bag: “It depends on who you’re speaking with, what community really means.”
At Kiva, Bocci's job is all about trying to find creative ways to grow both the online and offline communities.
She works on everything from planning programs for college campuses and grade-school classrooms to running Kiva’s social media strategy.
Listen to Chelsa talk more about her job at Kiva.
At StumbleUpon, Currin Berdine and the rest of the Community Team also want to be a part of their users’ lives—both on and offline.
While part of their work is making sure customers are happy with the product, their coolest community initiatives are the real-live events they host.
