The Role
As our Community Manager, you’ll lead efforts to grow and engage our open-source contributor base.

Responsibilities

• Cultivate a welcoming, engaged developer community around the platform.
• Manage GitHub issues, pull requests, and contributor onboarding processes.
• Write and maintain developer-facing documentation, contribution guides, and changelogs.
• Serve as the bridge between internal teams and external contributors, triaging issues and sharing updates.
• Grow partnerships with agencies, implementers, and institutional tech teams.

Requirements

• Familiarity with the WordPress development ecosystem.
• Strong written communication skills, especially in developer-facing documentation.
• Experience managing or participating in open source projects.
• Comfortable with GitHub workflows, markdown, and basic code review processes.
• Strong organizational skills; able to manage multiple communication channels and priorities.

Nice to Have

• Prior experience as a developer advocate, community manager, or open-source project lead.
• Experience with higher ed, nonprofits, or mission-driven tech.
• Familiarity with Discord, Slack, Discourse, or other community platforms.
• Basic technical skills in PHP, JS, or WordPress plugin development.

*Initially, this role will be an equity only position. Once we have more revenue, we hope to quickly build up to the target cash compensation. *
