About the role

Based: London, with some travel throughout the UK.

We’re spreading our net, and we need someone to help us do it successfully. BIMA isn’t just an organisation for digital agencies. We’re for brands, tech companies, start-ups and universities too, and we’re looking for a Community Manager who can help grow and develop our membership by ensuring more of what we do reaches every part of our community.

You’ll capture the events and thought leadership produced by our UK-wide network of expert communities. You’ll make it easy for the broader BIMA community to engage and interact with it, wherever they may be. And you’ll get ‘out there’, because whilst much of this role focuses on the digital component of the BIMA community, we’re also after a real people person who will support the account management of some of our larger members, attend events, and who isn’t shy of a bit of ‘networking’!

– Supporting other members of the BIMA team to account manage members and partners

– Supporting BIMA flagship events and programmes such as BIMA Awards, BIMA 100 and Digital Day

Skills & experience:

–  Excellent written and communication skills

– 3+ years’ experience as an account manager/community manager or in a similar marketing role

– Proven experience of helping to develop and deliver social strategies and/or build online communities

– Commercial experience – creating and managing meaningful relationships

– Confident in presenting /speaking

–  Experience of developing effective benchmarks to ensure your existing audience is well served, and new audiences are sought and engaged with

Who you are:

– A people person

–  Organised and able to manage a fast-paced workload

– Someone with an entrepreneurial mindset

– A lover of social with your finger on the pulse of what makes a great post

– An interest in and a perspective on emerging technology and the digital industry
