Role
Who you are
- We’re looking for someone with new, innovative ideas about how we can make every raving fan feel like they’re wrapped in a blanket of Scribe love
- Someone who is obsessed with the craft of building community, who avidly listens to podcasts on the topic and reads every blog post they can find on how the likes of Notion, Figma and Coda grew through community
- Someone who is excited to strategize at the 10,000ft view, but also enjoys working at the 10ft view with scrappy, zero-to-one strategies to bring new projects to life
- You’re digitally extroverted. In other words, you build relationships with people on the internet effortlessly, and your personality shines online just as well as offline
- You have community in your DNA. You’ve built communities before (maybe in real life, maybe online, maybe both). Looking back, you realize you’ve been a community organizer across many areas of your personal and/or professional life. Wherever you are or go, it doesn’t take long before you find yourself a part of a community
- You’re an innovative and strategic thinker. You’re ready to look for new opportunities, set ambitious goals, and execute against them. You’re not afraid to try new things and develop new projects. You’re always thinking about the 10,000ft view: you’re constantly iterating on the roadmap for your strategy so that it’s aligned with current and future business goals. You can plan and anticipate the needs of your team in advance, and start working towards them before they happen
- You’re a visionary leader. You have big ideas and can motivate and mentor a team to execute against your vision. You inspire and empower the people around you so that you can go further together
- You have an ownership mindset and are excited to take responsibility for your projects and make decisions that will lead to their outcomes
- You love and use Scribe. You love process documentation and have used Scribe (presently or in the past). We’re looking for someone who deeply understands our community of raving fans — you might already be a raving fan yourself!
- You’re an empathetic people person. Building community is all about connecting with people. You love talking to people, hearing their stories, and sharing yours. You’re the sort of person that finds it easy to make new friends anywhere you go
- Experience using Scribe is required
- 4-6 years of marketing, social media, community or related experience in B2B SaaS. Bonus points if you have experience in horizontal productivity SaaS tools
- 1-2 years experience managing direct reports
- 1-2 years experience building or managing a community for a B2B business
What the job involves
- Develop and implement a community strategy that aligns with Scribe’s ambitious business goals
- Develop, report and own KPIs and targets for community growth and engagement that are aligned with broader business goals
- Work cross functionally across marketing, growth and product to integrate our community strategy with broader teams and goals
- Develop strategies to grow the community and retain current members
- Lead and mentor junior community specialists, providing them with strategic guidance
- Represent the community’s voice in internal discussions with key stakeholders across the organization
- Monitor, analyze, and report on community sentiment and feedback and report this information upward
- Deliver actionable feedback for internal teams (i.e. marketing and product) from community insights
Our take
Knowledge workers spend, by some reports, around one-fifth of their time simply working out how to do their job. Where historically this might have demanded lengthy, labour-intensive user guides and training manuals, Scribe has brought to market an efficient new alternative, where all users need to do is record their screen whilst carrying out a task.
From there, the company creates text descriptions and interactive screenshots for each step, which can be shared with a simple link. Scribe has accrued an impressive customer base since it launched in beta back in 2020, with over 600,000 companies, including Adobe, Facebook, Tesla, and EA using its product and 94% of Fortune 500 businesses. Demand looks likely to continue, with hybrid workforces still widespread post-pandemic.
Founder Jennifer Smith is versed in the inefficiencies of knowledge-sharing within companies from a stint at Mckinsey, and her co-founder Aaron Podolny was previously CTO at automated customer service and sales tools company, Onward. With strong funding secured, Scribe’s impressive success to date looks only set to continue as it scales its team and invests in R&D to propel the development of its platform.
