What do we look for

As a rapidly growing product, we look for a few things across all hires we make at Spin, regardless of role or team: deep engagement, critical thinking, sound judgements, and a creative approach to non-standard challenges. Secondly, we’re interested in people constantly researching and learning something new, open to sharing their knowledge, and focused on constant performance optimization and improvement. We are on a thrilling journey and we invite you to join us.

You will initiate, manage, control, and optimize community events, manage your team of community managers and local community moderators, create communication guides, and work closely with the marketing and product teams. You will form the vision of what a vibrant community is and will become a superstar connecting the team to the community.
