Featured job: Community Manager at Macropod, Melbourne

Macropod is a software development company based in Yarraville, Melbourne. Macropod is a business built on trust, diversity and openness with the single-minded goal to deliver great software to people who build the web.

Macropod’s growing team is currently 13 strong. In addition to a fantastic coffee machine, the company offers excellent employee benefits including flexible personal and parental leave policies. It’s safe to say you’ll be able to work autonomously, but the team is composed of people who like to share and love what they do. Macropod considers people’s “goodness” a key factor in hiring.

About you

You’re an expert at handling all things social media. You excel at building online communities and present yourself in a friendly and open manner (i.e. you’re not likely to be mistaken for a lawyer). You love of tech and consider yourself a bit of a geek.

Requirements

Take the reigns of Macropod’s social media presence. You’ll curate and write content for the website and start engaging with the community in a more meaningful (read: measurable) way.
Attend tech events and rep the company tee with ease. You’re the kind of person who can make friends with a paper bag, but you should be great at talking to actual people. In fact, identifying groups of like-minded people and leveraging platforms to engage with them is your speciality.
Implement monitoring and reporting systems. You’re also pretty handy with monitoring and reporting tools (the team currently uses Hootsuite, but the software world should be your oyster). It’s a bonus if you’re a writing whiz and/or can speak ‘developer’.
