SOCIAL COMMUNITY COORDINATOR 

DO YOU LOVE WRITING AND WANT TO HELP OTHER PEOPLE WRITE AND PUBLISH THEIR BOOKS?

DO YOU REALLY ENJOY ENCOURAGING PEOPLE ON SOCIAL MEDIA?

_DO YOU WANT TO USE YOUR LOVE FOR WRITING IN A MEANINGFUL WAY? _

IF THIS SOUNDS LIKE YOU, WE'VE GOT YOUR PERFECT CAREER.

We call this role “Social Community Coordinator,” but it's so much more than just hanging out in Facebook Groups. 

At its core, this role supports our clients and helps guide and support them on their path to becoming a published author by being on the front lines and being as resourceful as possible for them. 

A deep understanding of Facebook Groups and a strong background in nonfiction writing is key, as is having impeccable attention to detail, and a positive, optimistic “can do” attitude. 

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS: 

• A new client signs on for one of our book coaching programs that includes an online accountability and support group. 
• You will onboard them and ensure they have access to the proper group, resources, calendar invites to the group calls, and other required onboarding materials. 
• You will continue to engage with all group members to deliver on what we promised them: support, encouragement, guidance and accountability in writing and publishing their book.

There are three major responsibilities in this role. They are different, but are equally critical to the success of the person that assumes this role:   

AS THE SOCIAL COMMUNITY COORDINATOR, YOU WILL:

• Manage and moderate all of our growing Facebook Group-based social communities and be the primary point-of-contact for all potential and current authors in our Groups.
• Be focused on nurturing our existing communities rather than focused on pushing for sales growth.
• Act as a brand ambassador for Scribe, and work on developing our communities by participating in discussions, answering questions, and offering writing advice and support to our Authors.

AS THE WORKSHOP COORDINATOR, YOU WILL: 

• Coordinate everything that is required to set up and run our online workshops, webinars, Q&A calls, etc. on Zoom. 
• Support the workshop coaches and the authors attending the workshop.
• Manage and coordinate the sending of all workshop-related emails and communications, and provide email support to workshop attendees 
• Rapidly assess, analyze, and resolve complicated technical issues independently, even with little initial information.

AS THE AUTHOR HOUR PODCAST HOST, YOU WILL: 

• Develop thoughtful questions for each podcast episode

• Schedule and record podcast interviews with authors

• Record additional promotional audio, as needed

• Work with Author Marketing to make improvements to the Author Hour podcast and process

You'll work collaboratively with our Head of Marketing, our Senior Editors and Scribe Co-Founder, Tucker Max to support our book coaching programs to ensure we are providing a world-class community for aspiring authors.

But before you get all excited and start applying, understand one very important thing:

This job is no joke. 

Expect to work hard and apply impeccable attention to detail in everything you do. Because attention to detail is so critical for this role, write in “attention to detail is my middle name” to the question “where do you currently reside?” when you apply. This is NOT for someone who wants to "play start-up." This role is for someone who takes providing world-class customer service seriously, and wants to genuinely help people bring their ideas to the world via their book. 

If that describes you, come get it.

WHO ARE WE AND WHAT DO WE DO?

We're SCRIBE MEDIA, and our mission is to help everyone on earth write, publish and market their book.

The problem is that writing and publishing books are, for most people, a painful and difficult process, loaded with uncertainty and aggravation. Our goal is to make it as simple as possible, so that as many people as possible can do it. 

We have multiple ways we help people do this. We can edit and publish an already written manuscript (Scribe Publishing), or we can help people write their book using a structured process with our guidance (Scribe Guided Author), or we can do a structured interview process that gets the book out of them in their words and their voice (Scribe Professional). 

And if you can't afford our services, that's fine. We give away all of our information for free. Seriously, it's called Scribe Book School, and it's better than any paid course on the internet. 

You can see some press about us here. 

And you can see some of the books we've already published here.

WHY OUR WORK MATTERS

Our company was started because a frustrated entrepreneur wanted to put all of her incredible knowledge and ideas into a book, but didn't have the time to write it or the patience to deal with the frustrating publishing process. So we solved her problem. The origin story is here.

Her book became an amazing success, and we realized the world was full of these people--_SMART PEOPLE WHO SHOULD WRITE A BOOK, BUT DON'T, BECAUSE THE PROCESS IS SO PAINFUL. _

These people want to write books, but don't have the time or desire to do it the old way, and that's why Scribe exists: WE HELP PEOPLE TURN THEIR IDEAS INTO BOOKS THAT BOTH CEMENT THEIR LEGACY AND IMPACT THE WORLD.

Our process has worked for over 1500 authors in five years, and we're growing fast. Our ultimate goal is to HELP EVERYONE ON EARTH WRITE AND PUBLISH A BOOK. 

If we do that, we'll help create many thousands of books that would never have otherwise existed, changing the lives of millions of people. That's really exciting to us. 

To see what we mean, here are some author success stories and videos of authors talking about what their books mean to them, and to their readers.

But if you really want to see why we do this...just watch this video of an author we worked with, Philip McKernan.

WHAT'S IT LIKE BEING PART OF THE SCRIBE TRIBE?

We're not going to try to pitch you a load of corporate doublespeak bullshit about how great we are. Instead, we'll just show you proof. 

These are all real tribe members, speaking openly and honestly about all aspects of what it's like to be part of this tribe:

TYPE OF EMPLOYMENT

• Full-time

NECESSARY SKILLS & QUALIFICATIONS

Here is the list of skills we believe are necessary for this career. 

• Must REALLY LOVE helping people as they write their books.
• Must enjoy engaging with people in an outgoing and charismatic way, especially in written form. 
• At minimum, have a writing background, or have some experience writing non-fiction pieces (bonus points for knowledge of book writing and publishing books). 
• Impeccable attention to detail and able to follow a precise process. 
• Be highly customer-service centric and focused on providing world-class service. 
• Familiar with how Facebook Groups work and generally comfortable working with technology (like Zoom) and troubleshooting tech issues when they arise.

SALARY & BENEFITS

• COMPETITIVE PAY: $50-$60k NOTE: The salary is not all you will make. All tribe members are entitled to discretionary profit sharing. When we say "profit sharing" we don't mean the BS "here's a tiny piece of equity that might be worth something in 10 years." We're already a profitable company, and 25% of the company profit goes to the Tribe. So every time we take profit distribution, you get a share of those actual profits.
• FULL BENEFITS PACKAGE: We don't spend our money on ping pong tables and beanbag chairs. We spend our money on things that matter to our tribe--like a full slate of benefits that would rival any Fortune 50 company. 
  • We fully cover your medical, dental, and vision insurance—starting on day 1.
  • We offer up to $1,500 in educational assistance to continue your learning.
  • We have six weeks of paid time off, including holidays and the week between Christmas and New Year's.
  • If anything awful were to happen to you, we provide life insurance and short- and long-term disability.
  • We have Work with your dog Wednesdays! AKA: Woofdays!
  • Plus, we eat a free lunch together in the office on Fridays!
• BE PART OF A TRIBE: You (should) have seen the videos above. We also have a pretty cool set of principles that we live by as a tribe, you should check it out, because this is the operating system for our tribe, and everyone in our company lives the values and principles outlined in this doc. 
• FREEDOM & FLEX WORK: While you'll need to be based in Austin, we offer a flexible work environment. You can work from home, work while you travel, work in our office, make your own hours--we don't care. You can wear a three piece suit (like our CEO) or gym clothes (like our founders) or anything else--we don't care. We only care that you do your job well. And we have lots of paid time off each year, because we believe that rest and recovery are just as important as work. But, again, this is not a remote position.
• MAKE A REAL IMPACT: We're a small tribe (still under 50 full time) and you will be a major part of our team. Not only that, you won't just impact the company, you'll impact the world. Books are one of the very best ways to influence other people and change the way they think--and you'll be helping to make them a reality. 
• WORK WITH INTERESTING PEOPLE: You're not just working on any books. Past authors include major company CEOs, famous entrepreneurs, professional athletes, and people with amazing personal stories. These are books that change lives.
