This package is best for a company who is looking for help with figuring out where (and how) a technical community professional fits into their company. In short, you know you need someone to help build or maintain a community, but you don’t know what their day-to-day role should be, or what the overall scope of the job looks like.
Things you’ll know by the end of this project include:
What’s the proper title for the position you’re looking to fill?
What are the basic job requirements that you’ll expect someone to fulfill?
What type of experience level are you looking for in this individual?
Deliverables include:
A market-ready job description.
Initial goals for your new community professional to tackle once they’re on board.
A clear way to set your new community professional up for success with regard to metrics, priorities, and approval from stakeholders.
This scope will be prefaced by an in-depth collaborative questionnaire. This questionnaire will help me to gain insight into your goals and intentions as a company, which will help frame the job description.
Add-on: Recruiting/Hiring Items
Any of these can be easily coupled with the above Job Scope. These add-ons are best for a company who doesn’t have a good foothold in the Developer Relations space and may not know where to look for applicants, or the questions to ask once they have someone in the pipeline. Each of these line items can be added separately, or as a package.
Options include:
A promotional package, spreading the word about the job opening on social media as well as various Community Professional-specific job boards
A list of appropriate questions to ask when interviewing for a technical community position
Personal referrals from my community network
Interview panelist
Onboarding your new community professional and helping to establish processes by which they will accomplish the your initial goals
