Community Specialist

Meetup changes lives everyday. Our Community Team serves over 6 million Members and Organizers from around the world. We're in search of a Community Superstar to join our team and further our mission: to spark a successful Meetup Everywhere about Most Everything.

The Community Team is here to support Organizers and Members in changing the world. We are active on Meetup's message boards, respond to emails and phone calls from our Members, write articles for our blog, and greet new Organizers. We take our work seriously because we're so passionate about what we do.

Would you describe yourself as a strong communicator, web-savvy, a fast-learner and able to blend in and master a community platform with enthusiasm? If that's you, then keep reading!

Are you often considered:

  • A Jack/Jill of all Trades. You can moderate a message board, identify a bug on the site and laugh at bad jokes with sincerity.
  • Self-driven. You have excellent organizational skills, integrity and great follow through on tasks. You don't get overwhelmed easily - thousands of Member and Organizer emails each month? No biggie!
  • Naturally curious. You're a natural innovator, and always looking for ways to make things better.
  • Graceful. You're self aware, well-spoken on the phone and eloquent in emails. You could navigate a scooter through a Meetup HQ minefield. Or not yet, but you'll figure it out.
  • Fun. You're a people person who can talk to anyone; you're both flexible and fearless.
  • Motivated. You're going to own this place in five years or less. Or rather, you're going to take ownership of the time you spend with us and truly make a difference.

The work week is any five days of the week. You can opt for a traditional M - F schedule or create something non-traditional. Desire to work the weekend (or one weekend day) is a big plus. Saturdays and Sundays can be worked either from home or from the office. This position does not allow for full-time telecommuting - it's based here in our New York City headquarters. Initial training will occur during "regular" working hours. Please specify your ideal work week in your cover letter.

Every member of the Meetup Team is expected to: be an Innovator; be a Collaborator; be a Champion for their ideas; be an Expert; have High Standards; be dedicated to the power of self-organized groups and our mission of A Meetup Everywhere About Most Everything ("MEME"); and most importantly, Get Stuff Done That Makes a Difference!

If you fit the profile above, please submit your resume, writing sample and cover letter to jobs@meetup.com. Your writing sample should give us an idea of your tone and style of writing…tell us a bit about yourself, what you’re passionate about, or something you’re an expert in. An old essay will do, but we’d much prefer something recent and interesting. Your cover letter MUST include salary requirements, the shift you are interested in, and what inspired you to apply for a position at Meetup. Resumes sent without cover letters will not be considered.
