The Community Manager is the face and architect of Commerce’s customer community experience. You will own and grow our customer-facing communities across platforms, lead a major platform migration, and launch programs that drive awareness, adoption, and customer retention. This is a high-visibility, cross-functional role sitting at the intersection of Customer Success, Marketing, and Product. This role will report directly to the Director of Customer Marketing.

What You'll Do:

Community Management & Strategy

• Own day-to-day management of Commerce's customer communities, including the Support Community, Reddit, and Facebook.
• Set and execute the community strategy to drive engagement, registrations, and member growth
• Moderate, facilitate, and foster meaningful conversations that support customers and showcase the Commerce brand

Platform Migration

• Lead the end-to-end migration from the current Salesforce-based community platform to a new community system including vendor evaluation, stakeholder alignment, technical coordination, content migration, and member communications
• Define and own the post-launch roadmap for the new platform

Campaign & Event Activation

• Plan and execute a Commerce Community Campaign to drive awareness and new registrations across channels
• Represent the community at Commerce events, trade shows, and partner activations driving on-site and post-event signups
• Build scalable programs to convert event attendees and new customers into active community members

Customer Webinar Series

• Launch and manage a new customer webinar program designed to drive product adoption and deepen customer engagement with the BigCommerce platform
• Own content planning, speaker coordination, promotion, and post-event follow-up

Customer Awards Program

• Own the Commerce Customer Awards from nominations and judging to promotion and recognition, amplifying customer success stories across the community and broader marketing channels
• Coordinate the Customer Awards Ceremony and Dinner at Commerce Live.

Measuring Success

• Measure the correlation between community participation and customer retention, benchmarking renewal rates and NRR of active community members against non-members to demonstrate the community's impact on churn reduction
• Monitor early churn signals within the community, using disengagement indicators such as declining logins, reduced post activity, and unanswered support threads to flag at-risk accounts and partner with Customer Success for proactive outreach
• Report on webinar and event program performance including attendance rates, repeat attendees, and post-session product adoption metrics to connect educational engagement directly to platform adoption and retention outcomes
• Build and maintain a community health dashboard in partnership with Marketing Operations that surfaces KPIs across engagement, retention, and growth delivering regular reporting to leadership that frames community as a retention and customer lifetime value driver

Who You Are

• 3-5+ years of experience in community management, customer marketing in a SaaS or ecommerce environment
• Proven track record managing and growing online communities across multiple platforms (community forums, Reddit, Facebook, or similar)
• Experience owning or contributing to a community platform migration or major relaunch
• Familiarity with AI tools to streamline community workflows, from content drafting and moderation support to data summarization and member reporting
• Strong program management skills you can run multiple workstreams simultaneously without dropping details
• Excellent written and verbal communication; you write for customers, not just colleagues
• Experience producing or managing webinars, virtual events, or customer education programs
• Comfort with data you track community KPIs, report on them, and use them to make decisions
• Collaborative by nature; you work well with Support, Marketing, Product, and Sales without needing a playbook for every handoff
