RedBubble


We need more people! We're looking for a 'Community Manager'

Hop and Fran have been here for a little over a week – so we thought it was about time to draw another person into the RedBubble vortex. This time we’re looking for a Community Manager. Here’s the job description:

The Community Manager is responsible for the health and vitality of our online community – a large, vocal, opinionated, funny, exciting, heart warming, passionate and driven bunch of people hanging out on the RedBubble site.

Specific responsibilities include:

- Liaise with and support our moderators and volunteers;

- Provide leadership to the community through active participation and communication;

- Establish the RedBubble etiquette, and encourage behaviour consistent with this etiquette;

- Identify and recruit volunteers to help guide the community;

- Facilitate and where necessary coordinate competitions and events; and

- Manage the RedBubble groups.

This job doesn’t have to be Melbourne based – but we would like you to spend some time with us at the start to get the vibe of the business. If you’re interested send Peter an e-mail at: jobs@redbubble.com with a short summary of why you think this is the job for you and a CV.

    sounds very interesting, I would be very interested if I could do it from where I live.

    Wow! I misread it and thought you needed someone large!!

    Boy do I meet that criteria!! LOL!!

    Sounds fascinating. I’d be interested if it can be done virtually. :-)

    I wanted to apply for this fantastic position, but my parole officer likes to keep me housebound.Large I’m not, but loud I can be. Opinionated, yes… I always see I to I. Funny, yes- people start laughing when they see me (I actually want to start charging entertainment tax). Exciting? Well, this depends on how much Ritalin I’ve taken. Heartwarming? I thought so until my doctor told me I had acute angina. (got nervous there…my hearing ain’t so good!) Passionate? Book early and avoid disappointment!
    Driven? Absolutely – but I’m hoping to get my driver’s licence soon. I have brilliant leadership qualities – I always lead from the front when there’s a crisis… I’m way ahead of the pack when we’re being chased or I’m scared of something.
    But then again, I have the memory of a goldfish, so I forget before I forgive. I’ve seen my own backside so often that I’m now hindsighted. Creativity? Shucks, I can make a mountain out of a molehill.
    But I know that my other brother, the oldest son of my mother also wants to apply for this position….and he’s cleverer than me. He got through grade 1 on his 3rd attempt, so I have to admit defeat.
    Please withdraw my application. Thank you.

    So basically, you’re looking for a combination of Wonder Woman and Jesus Christ with a fair dose of Nelson Mandela thrown in for good measure.

  • peter

    That sounds about right!

  • Jo O'Brien

    I do 90% of this already – do I get back pay?
    ooo I’m a cheeky one!

  • Danny

    KATHLEEN
    I vote for KATHLEEN

    or STRINGER

  • Patricia L. Ballard

    Patricia L. Ba...

    Yeah, I vote for Kathleen. Especially, since I live too far away to apply and wouldn’t be qualified anyway. There must be some position made for Mugsy. He’s too funny for words. I can picture Kathleen as Wonder Woman, but I have no idea if Mugsy looks like Jesus or Nelson.

  • Cathie Tranent

    Cathie Tranentcommunity host

    Actually Jo – I nearly put that they should offer you the job on the bottom of my application!!

  • Danny

    Danny

    I could do it but then again I would probably get really impatient and annoyed and tell everyone to get stuffed and act their age.
    Hey maybe I’ll be perfect for the job.

  • Steve Axford

    I’d just kill all the gophers, so maybe not

  • lightsmith

    I definately must apply. I am all of the above and looking for something too! So long as I can still stick my happy snaps up here then it sounds great.

  • Gregoryno6

    Gregoryno6

    I bet you look real cute in a Wonder Woman costume too lightsmith (snigger)

  • kseriphyn

    I recommend Kathleen. She’ll be brilliant for this role. Seriously.

  • Popular Mr

    Popular Mr

    i recommend someone who
    1) doesn’t rant and
    2) is not opinionated.
    3) Someone who doesn’t voice and opinion and doesnt go about ranting to defend it. (refer to 1)
    4) Which Has to be diplomatic.
    5) Preferably someone that some of the people here knows personally.
    6) Most importantly of all, someone who doesn’t waste my bandwidth with double or triple post

  • Popular Mr

    Redbubble should already have people in mind. Why not just ask them if they would like to do it.

    DAMN i’ve double posted !!! that rules me out :(

  • Mugsy

    Mugsy

    PatriciaL….... just to quench your curiosity: I look more like Jesus, am older than Nelson Mandela, was previously advantaged, so uneducated that I even failed my blood test, was told by the magistrate to have my eyes tested because I kept groping women (Ah, sweet mystery of life!), have been apprehended 3 times for being an oxygen thief, am so slow that the only thing I’ve passed this week is water. On the subject of water; I am so self righteous that I can walk on water (vivid imagination- thank goodness for Sea Rescue- although I’ve been banned from going to the beach again!)
    The two women spoken about in the job description: Felicity Tate, the one who coordinates and Ettie Kett who behaves consistently: are they pretty? It would really influence my decision if they were. But I draw the line with the Wonder Woman outfit…... I like getting into womens skirts….but only if they’re wearing them! This would fit into my
    interpretation of, “active participation and consistent behaviour”.
    Aw shucks…. I’m so excited at the prospects of going down under that I’ve been sending multiple job applications just to jam up Peter’s mailbox- hopefully he’ll be so tired of reading all my applications that he’ll give me the job just to get rid of me. I do have a problem though; I can’t get there: Sea Rescue won’t let me near the sea, the airlines refuse to let me fly as they think my corset contains things other than a bloated belly.
    I could go on and on and on…........... but to be fair to all those other applicants….......
    (p.s. my other brother is no longer interested in this position- he’s gone into partnership with a gentleman from a West African country in an internet scam and he’s making millions!)

    So Daijiro, are you asking for a mouse to manage the community? Your list pretty much strikes most of us out of the game L0L! Me especially.

  • demon

    demon

    I think you should talk to Rhana Griffin…I will pose this to her. as for meeting the criteria Hmmmm

    Liaise with and support our moderators and volunteers;...Oh yeah baby she will have you dancing

    - Provide leadership to the community through active participation and communication ; If you’re talking whips and fluffy handcuffs…another winner

    - Establish the RedBubble etiquette, and encourage behaviour consistent with this etiquette....same as above
    ;
    - Identify and recruit volunteers to help guide the community Would recruit better than the Aus army
    ;
    - Facilitate and where necessary coordinate competitions and events; and
    - Manage the RedBubble groups
    Piece of cake and right up her alley

    Hmmm…better get to and let her know I have nominated her and tell her to get her butt into gear and shape…lol.

  • Melinda Kerr

    I don’t know who’s applied and what they story is but doesn’t Jo O’Brien already do this?? Maybe pay her? Just a thought…

  • Suzanne German

    Suzanne German

    hey it sounds interesting – but from cambridge uk probably georgraphically impossible for me – also I am a full time practitioner with the NHS….spare time? mmm…...not enough of it….unless of course i could be persuaded to do it more full time…be stretching myself incredibly though…

    how have the applicants been? many takers?

  • Faizan Qureshi

    Faizan QureshiAll Rounder

    Kathleen and Jo are fine choices but they do a lot already, can they do this lot more?

    I’d love to apply but I guess that I am not diplomatic enough!

  • georgiegirl

    georgiegirl

    do we get a vote? I reckon Kathleen or Kseriphyn would both be perfect!! Both are happy, (bubbly… very important!), friendly, helpful, diplomatic in a polite but firm manner, never opinionated, always floating in the bubbles and are always willing to lend a hand or critique when needed!

    I’d apply, but I don’t think I have the skills… plus can’t get to RB Central (Melbourne).

    Just my 2 cents… Hope you find the perfect RB Elf!

  • kathleen

    kathleen

    y’all are a bit crazy… but that’s great affirmation for me… why I love bubblin’ along here so much… I feel weird, so buy now!

  • kathleen

    kathleen

    never opinionated… ks no.. me??? you sure georgiegirl I fear that opinion is different to some. I just like to challenge those random thoughts and implications… sick I know…

  • kseriphyn

    kseriphyn

    Huh? Georgiegirl!:0) and Kathleen, what you buying?

  • kathleen

    kathleen

    haa ha bye… i find it funny that whenever I actually make a point of saying ‘bye’ or ‘that’s all’ I generally end up adding another post… conundrum!

  • georgiegirl

    georgiegirl

    it’s a bit like logging out of the bubbles… after you click ok, RB takes you to the home page where you see something really cool, so you click on it, then want to comment… so you log back on again!! Then another couple of hours go by but it seems like a couple of minutes!! or is this just me ;D

  • jegustavsen

    jegustavsen

    This was so much fun to read all the comments!!!! (not interested in the position)...

  • Gregoryno6

    No, georgiegirl, it’s not just you.

    Well, I burned supper again tonight!! I put it on and thought “I could just look at a few new works here”, but NO I just kept looking and now I have to air the house out before my husband gets home! LOL!!
