Excellent, another resource for my arsenal.

I get asked questions like this regularly — our tech industry is large, but community management is still a very new role here. And of course people just want a specific salary number, which I can’t just give them. (Of course, rarely can they provide solid details on what they want the person in the role to do or accomplish, either.)

It’s such an “it depends” answer. How senior a role? Responsibilities? Reports? Etc… You also can’t really compare it, salary-wise, to most existing roles within a company, especially since soft skills and personality are among the most key components to a good community manager.

And of course there will always be a nebulous aspect of the role. Measuring relationship building and the like remains a bit sticky, but companies don’t like that.

so love this piece. It’s so TRUE. I can’t tell you how many positions that I have interviewed for that require a serious knowledge and ability to engage, supervise, manage and handle sites and forums– but some companies don’t get that the manner in which it is handled & the person that represents them reflects directly back on the company.
Hire a well-experienced person, pay them well– because they will end up building your visibility and traffic and make it worth every penny
