Bet 1: Grow online conversations between users. PostHog has a forum, a Discord, a subreddit, a newsletter, and a lot of content — but conversations between users are sparser than they should be. Forum traffic has declined year-over-year. Reddit engagement is low. You'll own growing the volume and quality of conversations across all three surfaces:
You'll also seed conversations on hub topics like growth engineering, design for product engineers, and fundraising for founders, and figure out the strategic question hiding underneath: when does each surface get used, for what?
Bet 2: Spotlight users and build a superfans operating system. We have founders who are fans, OSS contributors, event organizers, forum power users, builder group leaders, and customers doing interesting work. Right now nobody keeps a list, the relationships are personality-dependent, and we mention great customers once in a case study and then never again. You'll build the system — identify, spotlight, enable, reward.
One specific track within this: a consistent flow of people engaging in the forum, open source contributions, users sharing what they're building in chat and livestreams. Make it easy to start in all these online spaces, recognize existing contributors meaningfully, and develop a reward system that goes beyond a merged PR. You'll also deal with potential negative incidents or breaking of guidelines that may invariably happen.
You'll also work closely with the IRL events team on the bridge between offline and online (builder groups becoming online regulars, online conversations seeding meetups), organizing online "events," and pick up sidequests such as a new community surface all together (would building our own social network be the best way to achieve these goals?)
What you won't be doing❌ Turning these channels into customer support — what we're expressly trying to avoid
❌ Managing Twitter/LinkedIn/Youtube social — our social poster owns these
❌ Running "community" as a top-of-funnel signup engine — if signups happen, fine, but they're not the goal
❌ Being the loudest voice in every channel — the key here is identifying voices, not raising your own
