Community Lead (Remote - within Europe)

SlashData is the leading research company in the developer economy: We help the world understand developers and developers understand the world. We survey 30,000+ developers annually - across 11 areas of interest, including mobile, IoT, desktop, cloud, AR/VR, web, games, data science, and machine learning - to help clients such as Microsoft, Facebook, Google and Amazon understand who developers are, what tools they love or hate and where they are going next.

We're seeking a Community Lead to help us grow and engage our global developer community - Developer Nation.

Developer Nation is a global community helping software creators grow throughout their coding journey and answer burning questions such as:

What software developer careers are out there? Which ones have the most demand? What skills or formal training should I acquire? How can I become more productive and efficient?

It is a space where developers can learn how they stack up against emerging software development trends, get tips and discover opportunities for professional growth as well as plan wisely their next moves.

As our first Community Lead you will report directly to the Marketing & Partnerships Director and have a significant impact on designing and executing the Developer Nation Community strategy - one of SlashData's strategic priorities.
