Want to Help Build the Triathlete Community? Come Work For Us!

Want to spend your work days talking about triathlon? Get other people excited about triathlon too? Love building community and have new ideas about what’s missing from multisport right now?

Good news! We’re hiring a membership community manager for Triathlete.

The membership community manager is primarily responsible for growing the Triathlete community—which, first and foremost, means our members and secondarily means future members! They will serve as the face and primary point of contact for members, overseeing all engagement programs from virtual communities to IRL events, creating member-led content on the site, in print, and on social media. This manager will also manage the admin work involved in the member print process, in membership partnerships, and in day-to-day member interactions.

The ideal candidate should have a deep understanding of triathlon and triathlon communities. They should also love social media and come with exciting ideas for both virtual and in-person engagement programs that provide one-of-a-kind benefits to our members. The community manager must be willing to get their hands dirty and do the daily work of building the best membership product in multisport. With multiple content projects happening across platforms, you’ll need to be hyper-organized, calm under (deadline) pressure, be a great team player on a small team, and bring new ideas to the table.

This is not primarily an editorial role, though the community manager will be responsible for creating content to funnel to membership programs and so should possess great communication skills and an understanding of proper editorial standards.

This position is remote but can be based out of our Boulder, Colorado headquarters.
