Position: Community Manager
Location: Osaka/Tokyo, Japan
Type: Full-Time

Overview: 

You’ll be a full-time Yelp employee (working out of your home or anywhere with WiFi) at the helm of a vibrant, buzzing community of locals who drink, shop and play their way through the city via peer recommendations on Yelp. Community Managers are driven, self-motivated, charismatic, and organised as they’re tasked with wrangling a slew of to-dos both on and offline, from writing and moderating to party planning and ringleading!

  • Writing. Write locally compelling newsletters weekly and inspiring reviews daily, as well as persuasive pitches to venue owners and marketing partners.
  • Event planning. Conceptualise, negotiate, plan and execute cool, fun and buzz-worthy (big wow factor!) events/parties.
  • Marketing outreach. Connect with the right local organisations, barter weekly newsletter sponsorships for promotion of Yelp.
  • Socialising and adventuring. Meet up with yelpers. Attend civic events. See and be seen. In the scene. Be the Mayor. Always on.
  • Communication. Be accountable with stellar communication to your peers and those who support you at Yelp.

Requirements:

  • Lives to write; writes to live. You know who you are… pencils down!
  • Has a fire in the belly. Walks through walls. Takes no prisoners. In a word: driven. Even when no one is watching. Especially then.
  • Social connector. You are the hub of your social world. You know everyone. Everyone knows you. The fun one. Diplomatic, too.
  • You reside in Japan and consider yourself a local expert.
  • Have more than a few years of post-graduate professional experience (existing Yelp community managers have 5 to 15 years).
  • University degree
  • Experience with social networking, guerilla marketing tactics, and event planning

Application:

  • Cover letter/note showcasing your writing skills and general personality and style
  • Resume showcasing your relevant experience
  • A link to your Yelp profile
