• Proven track record of developing and growing online communities

• Experience leading and managing other community professionals
• Strong understanding of content strategy and its impact on community growth
• Excellent communication skills and ability to adapt tone for different audiences
• Demonstrated ability to moderate sensitive situations and conflicts between users professionally and effectively
• Comfortable making data-driven decisions and regularly reporting on community metrics 
• Passion for improving user experience and fostering loyal audiences
• Familiarity with BuzzFeed's brand voice and community culture
• Experience with subscription or membership-based programs is a plus!

Additional questions:

• If you were given free rein to create a new engagement initiative for BuzzFeed's community, what would it be and why? How would you measure its success?
• We often post discussion questions (here are two examples) to encourage conversation between community users. Come up with two of your own discussion questions that you think would appeal to BuzzFeed’s audience.
