Hi Judy, I am the Community Curator at CoWork Jax in Jacksonville, FL... I have pasted the initial job description for the position below.
I'd like to point out that while "What you'll be doing" (tasks) takes up most of the description below, the key paragraph is "What we're looking for". I've been lucky to work with a team that understood the importance of the Community Curator position and has allowed it to evolve as our community (internal and external), and my aspirations for it, has grown. Hope this helps. Looking forward to hearing more about your impending launch. Paige Calvert @paigecalvert coworkjax.com ----- CoWork Jax means a lot more than just a place to get work done.
