Community Manager

Stand Together is a philanthropic community that helps America’s boldest changemakers tackle the root causes of our country’s biggest problems, from education to the economy, broken communities, and toxic division, among dozens of other pressing issues. We provide our partners with access to resources including funding, thought leadership, a network of peers, and a playbook for applying proven principles to transform lives and society.

As a Community Manager on the Be The People Experience & Activation team, you will own the moments that turn a roster of leaders into a community that shows up for each other. Be The People is building a self-sustaining movement of 900,000+ leader ambassadors across America, and the convenings and peer connections you create are the foundation that makes it real.

We are hiring two Community Managers — one supporting Regional Networks and one supporting Organizational Networks. The core mandate is the same across both tracks: own the convenings, build the peer relationships, and keep the activation rhythm alive. Track placement will be determined during the hiring process.

Two things set this role apart from a standard events or community manager position. First, mission alignment is non‑negotiable — the communities BTP is building are real, led by real people solving real problems, and the right Community Manager shows up as someone who genuinely believes in what is happening. Second, relationship depth matters more than event volume — success looks like a community that is still active six months after the last gathering, not a long list of convenings executed.

There is no BTP community‑building handbook yet — this person will help write it alongside the Sr. EM.

This role reports to a Senior Engagement Manager and works closely with partner community managers, local implementing partners, and the broader Leader Engine team. Open to remote US-based candidates.

• Plan and run the gatherings. Design and execute convenings, workshops, and activation touchpoints — whether in regional markets or within national partner networks — from logistics to facilitation to follow‑through.
• Build the cadence. Establish a rhythm of touchpoints that keeps the community active and connected without burning people out.
• Manage the logistics. Own relationships with venues, vendors, and logistics partners. Make every gathering run smoothly so the experience is the only thing leaders remember.
• Capture what comes out of the room. Document stories, connections, and insights from each event and feed them back into the team and the platform.
• Managing and supporting online community circles, including setting up and organizing spaces, moderating discussions, and driving member engagement.

• Build leader‑to‑leader connections. Make the introductions, identify the common ground, and create peer relationships that persist beyond any individual event.
• Support leader onboarding. Help new leaders integrate into the BTP community — making sure they know who else is in the network and what they can do together.
• Track community health. Monitor who is showing up, who is bringing others, and who is ready to play a larger role in the network.
• Identify emerging leaders. Spot community members who are ready to step into a more active role and connect them with opportunities within BTP.

• Coordinate closely with your Sr. EM. Serve as the execution layer for activation strategy — whether that’s coordinating with Radius leads in regional markets or working inside national partner networks with organizational counterparts.
• Support implementing partners. Help local partners or organizational partners run their own activations within the BTP framework, lowering the lift for them to participate.
• Be the connective tissue. Serve as the link between the Sr. EM, Radius teams or partner organizations, and the leaders in each market or network.
• Connect across tracks. Coordinate with the other Community Manager on opportunities where regional and organizational leader communities can intersect.
