I thought Jared was the community manager? [regarding the new community manager job listing]
TL;DRJared isn't being replaced; the company can have more than one community manager and is hiring help, preferably SoCal-based people who love space games and community building, since the work currently falls on the existing team.
Yes, but we can actually have more than one.
Yeah, there's a thread on Reddit: they're going to fire Jared, look at his job listing. First of all, if we were going to fire Jared, we wouldn't put the listing up first. We're smarter than that. There's 1.2 million of you out there and only one of him.
Yes, Ben was the original community manager. Ben, and even Pete Mackay was community manager for a while.
We had James Pugh and Will Lewis. All sorts of people come and go.
And absolutely we need more than one. Pete's now a designer. Ben, you're now Director of Community Engagement, Online Strategy and Spaceships. Oh, and we had Patrick.
Patrick had been our lead moderator, which is what a community manager does at most companies. So it all swirls together.
So basically it's all on us at the moment, so we're looking for some help. If you're local to SoCal, that's a big help because that's where the position is, and if you're interested in helping out, apply online.
We're looking for people who love space games, who get Star Citizen, who are passionate about community building.
