Coral Capitalの投資先スタートアップコミュニティ「Coral Family」の運用リーダーとして、日々のイベントや企画の立案から運営までを進めていただける方を求めています。

我々はスタートアップで働く起業家同士、従業員同士が互いに知見や経験をシェアし合うことで、それぞれが日々直面する多くの課題に効果的に対応できると考えています。また、同じスタートアップという環境で挑戦する方々が繋がり合うことで、キャリアを通じて相談しあえる大事な仲間を作ることができるとも考えています。

Community Managerの方には、誰よりも深くCoral Familyのことを知り、Coral Family一人一人の学びや成長にとって理想的なコミュニティを実現させるためのイベントや企画の設計・運営をお願いしたいです。

業務内容

• Coral Familyの学びやリクリエーションなどに繋がるイベント、企画、コンテンツ発信などの設計と運営。以下具体的な過去事例

ポジション最大の醍醐味は？
「人と人を繋ぐことがワクワクする」「それによる化学反応で、世の中に価値が生まれたり、人の人生にインパクトを与えられることにワクワクする」という方にとっては、最高に面白い仕事だと思います。以下がその一部の理由です。

• Coralが厳選投資をしたスタートアップで働く優秀な起業家、社員の方々数百名を繋ぐことができる（日々、面白い方々と仕事ができる）
• Coralの各種リソースをフル活用できる（20万PVを誇るCoral InsightsやYoutube Channelの活用、最先端のスタートアップ情報、スタートアップ転職情報などへのアクセスなど）
• Coral自体が10名弱のスタートアップ組織なので、高い裁量権を持ってスピーディに様々な施策を企画・実施し、高速にPDCAを回せる（Community Managerとして早い成長ができる）

どんなキャリアが描けるの？
コミュニティマネージャーという職種自体がまだ比較的新しく、特に国内だとロールモデルも少ないのでキャリアイメージを持つことが難しいかもしれませんが、以下の可能性を考えています。

• Coralで長期的にどんなキャリアを描けるか？
  • CoralはGlobal #1VCを目指しています。コミュニティとしても、Global #1スタートアップコミュニティを目指しており、今後、投資先の数・多様性も大きく広がっていくので、常に新しい課題と向き合いながら、新しい施策を考え、挑戦していくことになります。そういった挑戦を通じ、世界を代表するCommunity Managerとして、スタートアップエコシステムや、コミュニティマネジメント界隈に大きなインパクトを与えていく存在になっていただきたいと考えています。

• 転職をする際の市場価値はどうなるか？
  • 長期的に一緒に働きたい前提ではありますが、キャリアチェンジをしたいと考えた際には、ここで培ったスキルは外資系IT企業や大手IT企業をはじめとした各社におけるコミュニティマネージャーとして活躍する上で、大いに役立つと考えています。
  • 最大のメリットは、広い裁量権を持った上で、Coralの様々なリソースをフル活用して企画・実行のPDCAを高速に回して多くの失敗や成功を経験することができる点です。これを通じて多くの経験値を積むことができるので、非常に早くCommunity Managerとして成長できます。
