Community Ambassador - Rochester, NY

Do you love Rochester? Are you the go-to person when it comes to planning a night out, always ready with a recommendation for the city’s most seasoned finds and hidden hotspots?

As the Rochester Community Ambassador, you’ll be a part-time Yelp employee (working out of your home or anywhere with WiFi) at the helm of a vibrant, buzzing community of locals who drink, shop and play their way through the city via peer recommendations on Yelp.

Community Ambassadors are creative, driven, organized, self-motivated, friendly, and fearless.

Where You Come In:

• You will plan in-person events!
• You will connect with Yelpers and business owners via all social media channels (and of course, Yelp)
• You will partner with exciting local events and organizations.
• You will act as the online moderator and voice of Yelp in your community.
• You will support the local Elite Squad.
• You will assist with the Local Yelp newsletter

What it Takes to Succeed:

• You reside in Rochester and consider yourself a local expert.
• You are passionate about event planning, social media, and PR? You are someone who has fire in the belly. Walks through walls. Takes no prisoners. In a word: driven. Even when no one is watching. Especially then.
• You are a social connector. You are the hub of your social world. You know everyone. Everyone knows you. The fun one. Diplomatic, too.
• You live to write; write to live. You know who you are... pencils down!
• Time management is your middle name and your ambition does push-ups while you sleep.
• You thrive when you’re in control of your own schedule.
• You can’t put a price on punctuality; being late is your biggest pet peeve.

Other Requirements:

• You must be able to work a flexible 15-19 hours per week.
• You must currently reside in Rochester and have reliable transportation options, and be 21+.
• You will not be restricted to working only for Yelp but may not qualify if you are a business owner, closely affiliated with a business owner (think spouse, general manager, social media manager, partner, etc.), or work for one of our competitors because they present conflicts of interest.

Ready to apply? Submit the following (all required):

• Cover letter/note showcasing your writing skills, general personality and style.
• Resume highlighting your relevant experience.
• A link to your Yelp profile.

Compensation range is $17.00 to $20.00 per hour.
