Senior Community Manager

Bring optimism to the front lines. You’ll model humanity, even online, and show our community what it looks like to lead with gratitude and good energy. At Life is Good, social media isn’t a stage. It’s a gathering place. A campfire. A space where real humans share hope, humor, courage, funny moments, tough days, and tiny wins. We’re looking for someone who understands community not as a metric, but as a living, breathing group of people who want to feel connected. You’ll bring warmth, humanity, curiosity, and optimism to every interaction—and help our influencers and ambassadors do the same. If you can meet people where they are and elevate their presence with your words and your authenticity, you might be exactly who we’re looking for. Someone who doesn’t just monitor a comment section but creates connection , someone who can respond with humanity at scale and keep our digital community grounded in optimism—especially on days when the internet forgets to be kind. You’ll help us join conversations that stand out for their meaning—and gracefully skip trends and topics that don’t align with who we are. What You Know and Have Done (please highlight in your answers) You have 5-7 years of direct experience in community management, influencer marketing, or social media at a brand or agency, with proven success managing ambassador or creator programs at scale. You have experience with tools such as Traackr, Emplifi, and Meta Business Suite, and a deep understanding of social platforms, trends, and community engagement best practices. You have a data-informed mindset — you can interpret metrics, identify insights, and translate them into recommendations. You write smart and fast, with humor and heart, and you have strong organizational skills and excellent attention to detail. Still with us? Keep reading.
