The Community Director Role

SPC is a community for open exploration, a process that relies on exposing our members to new ideas, people, and challenges. This role is an opportunity to facilitate serendipity and connection across a community of talented people.

The Community Director is the person who keeps the Commons buzzing, by enabling collaboration, creation, and productivity among our members. This person discovers and promotes new ways to support the community's work.

First and foremost, you’ll establish a connection with every new cohort of SPC SF members. A primary goal will be to ensure member activation such that all members are able to successfully navigate their time at SPC.

Other Role Dimensions:

• Maximize the happiness, well-being, learning, and potential of SPC members
• Create in-person opportunities for members to collaborate and hack together
• Cultivate a feeling of warmth and community
• Encourage repeated and regular interactions to create serendipitous brainstorming and development
• Oversee Squads
• Help to plan and run monthly All Hands
• Organize regular events (examples: Tea time Tuesday, Wine Wednesdays, Occasional Happy Hours, Monday Lunches)
• Oversee Member Graduation

SPC is a member-led community, so we’re constantly evolving based on our members’ ideas. Your role will grow accordingly. As we explore new formats and programs for members, you’ll have the mandate to design and implement them, evaluate our experiments, and make recommendations for pivots or new directions. In other words, be bold, innovative, and even sometimes unorthodox in your approach.

This role will be based in San Francisco. Our office is at 27 S Park St.
