With creating a delightful user experience as their mission, the community manager works closely with audience development, events, product and marketing to build whole spaces from the ground up for fans, including readers, social media followers and event attendees, to interact and develop long-term loyalty and engagement. They communicate between the brand and users with humor, professionalism and authenticity while seizing constantly evolving internet trends.

The CM plays a key role at Consensus 2022, CoinDesk’s first high-profile in-person event in the COVID era, to be based in Austin, Texas, June 9-12. The CM will nurture the Consensus Community virtually and in person, contributing and implementing creative ideas to incentivize attendance, participation and loyalty beyond the event. They will utilize communications channels like Twitter, Discord, Telegram and Reddit, plan and host in-person community events, and manage allocation of $DESK, CoinDesk’s own social token designed to fuel engagement and loyalty, and the rewards in DESK’s NFT store and beyond.

As a brand voice and key communications innovator for a news and events company, the CM should be very familiar with token-based community models, event management and editorial and journalistic standards.
