^{Help us give a voice to community builders in startups!}

We often get questions from members and businesses about the Community Manager role—what the job entails, how to manage workloads, and expected salary ranges. To provide clearer answers, we're gathering data to create a detailed picture of what being a Community Manager in the Australian and New Zealand startup ecosystems really looks like.

With your help, we can give community builders in startups a voice!
