List of Social Computing Strategists and Community Managers for Enterprise Corporations 2008 –Social Media Jobs and Professionals
Categories: Career, Community Manager, Industry Index, On the move, Social Media Job, Web TeamPosted on June 20th, 2008If you’re interested in jobs for this space, please read the “on the move” posts.
Understanding how companies staff, organize, and prepare for social media/computing is one of my top interests personally and professionally. Having been a former Online Community Manager at Hitachi Data Systems, I want to make sure companies do it right. I’m often asked which companies have one of the two emerging roles, (companies love to benchmark against their peers) so I’ve decided to start a list, not only to back my research, but also for those wanting to show to their companies “hey this is starting to happen for real”.
The first role is the Social Computing Strategist, the second is the Community Manager, although the titles vary, and sometimes it’s a part-time function, there’s clearly a trend as corporations staff.
It’s important to note, that in the end, these skills (the ability to communicate online) will disperse and grow to many employees. Generation Y comes to us with these abilities built it as a “digital natives”– yet the need to organize will still occur, it’s a knee jerk reaction to every corporation.
This list, which I realize is going to be a lot of work, will be an ongoing index of these professionals, I will only do this for a limited time (probably till end of 2008, or until I can’t scale).
Requirements
Unlike a wiki, I will be vetting this list to ensure quality. Kindly leave a comment but first read the requirements:
1) This is your full time (and current) job even if you have a variation on the title –you are not a consultant. Sure, you do more than social media alone, but the organization realizes you’re on point as the expert.
2) You’re at a large corporation, in fact, a Fortune 5000 company, or you’ve over 1,000 employees. I can easily list out thousands of community managers at startups, but I’m trying to demonstrate how large corporations are moving forward.
3) Provide reference: You must provide your title, and a link to your blog/profile/linkedin that indicates your role and title, perhaps a post that announced your title or intentions.
4) Indicate which role you are, a Strategist (inward focused) Community Manager (externally focused), or Research of Product focused (developing a social media product/service for sale)
5) This is primarily for external efforts with customers and prospects –not internal
6) If you do not meet the requirements to meet this list, you can create your own, and I’ll prominently link to it. Update: April 2009, Ted has created a list for community managers that focus on internal communities.
I’ve you’re a social media professional (at a smaller company, agency, startup) I’ve a list for everyone on my “on the move” posts.
Ongoing List of Social Computing Strategists at Enterprise Corporations
The Social Media Strategist, whose job is to lead the internal charge, develops the program, gains resources, convinces management, and measures success.
Key differentiator for this group? They are primarily internally focused program managers.

Ongoing List of Community Managers at Enterprise Corporations
The Community Manager, who’s job is to primarily be a community advocate is a social media user, and is externally focused, they are primarily the face to the online community. As companies scale, I expect to see these types or roles appear often for each product group at larger companies, they often report directly to the strategist or at least have a dotted line.
Key differentiator for this group? They are primarily an externally (customer/community) facing role.

Ongoing List of Social Media Researchers and Social Media Product Managers
It’s become evident there are other roles within large enterprises that focus on Social Computing, in fact, these folks are researchers, analyzing online behavior or creating specs for future products. Expect large enterprise software companies to offer these features in their product suites in the coming future.
Key differentiator for this group? They are researching or building social media products that will be brought to market.

Related Resources
I’ve kick started this list with a few that I know, please be detailed in the comments, as I’ll be reviewing to ensure accuracy. If you’re seeking a job, or wanting to hire folks, start with my “on the move” series of posts. Also see the New PR Wiki list of CEO blog. Shel Israel’s Global Survey of interviews on text and video have stories of many of these folks. Mario Sundar has a list of community mangers of all industries and sizes. Connie Benson left this list of community managers on twitter.
What and How to Submit
First, read the requirements stated above. Then submit Name, Title, Company, Which category (see descriptions), URL to bio that describes body of work. I prefer a link to your LinkedIn account that shows your role, as well as description of social media program or project.
If you’re shy, send me an email at jeremiah_owyang@yahoo.com, subject line should be “social media role” (I get hundreds of emails every day)
Update June 24: Bear with me, this is a major undertaking and I’m reviewing each entry. I also found quite a few comments being withheld by wordpress, I approved the ones I could find (using keywords to filter 25,000 spam comments). Please, carefully read the requirements before submitting, some I cannot add due to volume. If you wanted to create a list for SMB or internal folks, I’m happy to link to it.
Also, someone I respect suggested that this list is ‘outing’ those that may not want to be bombarded by vendors, most of these are submissions, and all records are public and found on LinkedIn. The kickoff list was a handful of people that were cited in public reports, who blog, or were in books. If you don’t want you name on here, simple email me and I’ll have it removed.
July 30th: Over a month since I started this list, it continues to grow and grow. I think we’ve gotten past the major influx, and now just a trickle of users are being added.

Jeremiah,
I’m the social media communications manager at IBM… which is a kind of hybrid of the two roles you describe. Quite candidly, there are MANY people at IBM involved at many levels in this space (how else would it be at IBM?).
But here you go:

I’m the social media manager at IBM. Based on your descriptions of the two roles, it’s a bit of a hybrid between the two. Frankly, there are a lot of people involved in social media at IBM, but at the corporate wide level, you can use my name.

Greetings, Jeremiah. Thanks for starting this list. I’m executive director of communications at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, NY and am the founder of a social network (of sorts) called ProfNet — an online community of 14,000 public relations officers dedicated to connecting reporters with expert sources (http://www.profnet.com). I’ve also just launched a group in Facebook — the College Social Media Study — with the aim of connecting college PR people in need of information about social networks with social-network vendors and experts. Please join us if you’re interested. We’re at: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=20299145518
Thanks…
Dan

Earlier this evening, taking a walk through the past fantastic, I spidered Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility (CPSR), as much as anything to get a sense of how such a fine organization withered on the vine. In the last newsletter they commented on how they were having to lay off staff.
The story of my life, watching my peers getting laid off while others made their fortunes.
Some say history is value neutral. *shrug* I say, not alone, that it’s written by the victors.
But then I’m the sort who thinks that “winning” isn’t everything.
cheers

This could become the chio pet of a blog post where it keeps growing and growing every day, week, month, year. What I really like about this is that I’m getting to see and meet new colleagues from other companies. I can certainly add more names from Intel like Open Port community maven Kelly Feller, Tools and Approach dynamo Bob Duffy, BlogMamma Annie Rodkins, Software Developer Community wise men Aaron Tersteeg, Josh Bancroft and Jeff Moriarty… But what I see here in the growing list are so many people I’d like to meet in person. Summer wine party at Jeremiah’s?

Later in February 2007 Ludovic Fourrage shared his vision for the Liberal Enterprise with John Havens, author of Tactical Transparency.
In June 2008 he announced the availability of the Podcasting Kit for SharePoint, and shared with customers his thoughts on how to apply 2.0 technologies to the enterprise in this session at Enterprise 2.0 (http://enterprise2conf.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=348353).

Yes, two reasons, this is just for companies with over 1000 employees. A majority of agencies are not at this size, or if they are, they are fragmented into many divisions
Secondly, much of this training and skillset happens at the individual account team(s), so there’s often not a centralized source.

Hi Jeremiah - I’d like to be included on your list.
I’m the *Community Manager* for Web 2.0 Expo. This is a global, annual conference that is co-produced by TechWeb and O’Reilly Media.
My official employer is TechWeb (previously CMP). Parent company is United Business Media (traded out of London). Web 2.0 Expo is one “product” among many within the Live Events Group.
Here are links to LinkedIn and two introductory blog posts I wrote -
* http://www.linkedin.com/profile?viewProfile=&key=7662425&trk=tab_pro
* http://blog.web2expo.com/2008/04/hello-world-20-let-the-games-begin/
* http://janerri.wordpress.com/2008/07/18/zero-to-endless-how-i-became-expo%e2%80%99s-community-manager/
As for your last question - I cover a lot of ground in my role. I’m a brand evangelist and Web community-seeker (outward-focused) but I also bring in intelligence from the communities I’m a part of back to the Web 2.0 Expo team. It helps us develop stronger program elements, be reactive to the needs of the community and overall, increase the quality and reach of our event.
I also encourage the use of social media tools among our sales and marketing teams (inward-focused). I’ve only been doing this work for just shy of 6 months now but long-term I want to make an impact within my organization, beyond the Web 2.0 Expo events. Just today I had a brainstorm session with a colleague - I’m working on a one-page tutorial/guideline doc (I’m a big fan of one-pagers) that will help teams at TechWeb adopt social media tools in their everyday.
Hope this helps. Thanks for putting this list together.

AMD is investing heavily in its social media and community-related endeavors and is very active in formulating new and innovative strategies to reach our customers and end users. Before this role, I was a part of the team at Dell who helped bring community engagement out of the web “backwater” and into the prominent role it now plays today.
Look for great things to come from AMD in the near future around social computing. There is still a lot of trails to blaze in this space and we hope to be one of the innovators.

Friendly greetings Jeremiah, I heard about this list from Valleywag. Just in case you wish to consider it, I’d like to share my info — I work for Linden Lab, which isn’t over 1,000 employees, but I do have a useful reason why I’m still commenting… as you know, we’ve led, pioneered, and have numerous Community- and Social Media-focused roles, since our primary business is the virtual world Second Life.
So here’s mine:
Torley Wong (aka Torley Linden)
Resident Enlightenment Manager (external-facing, has some aspects of community management but it’s quite a unique “hybrid” position suited for the needs of our organization)
http://blog.secondlife.com/author/torleylinden/ and numerous other blog posts
I’m not on LinkedIn because I haven’t found a need for it.
Keep on compiling and rock on, I hope this’ll be a useful resource in due time!

I research, teach, advise, consult, brainstorm and collaborate across our major news and entertainment networks and business units about that amorphous energy field universally labeled “social media” but in a hybrid model, that is adopting the principles inside the company with ourselves (i.e. “Enterprise 2.0″) and with our audiences and partners.

Hi Jeremiah,
I hate to nominate myself for your list, however, I have been the Director of Emerging Media at PR Newswire (a global company with over 1000 employees) for 2.5years. While “emerging media” might be a little different “social media”, this was a title chose 2 years ago because my job is to stay on top of the trends and help my company to do so. There will always be some kind of new form of media, so it’s not always about what some people will define right now as “social media”.

I came here via post @ readwriteweb.com (http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/hiring_a_community_manager.php).
That post was an excellent validation of the community manager idea that I’ve been working on and writing about for a little over a year now.
(http://www.radicalpowersports.com/re-enfocrement-validation-of-my-community-management-item/)
It will be interesting to see how well large companies are going to be able to let true community develop outside of iron-fisted PR and marketing control.
It’s a very cool time to be involved in this emerging area. So many new tools, techniques, and technology to really do new and exciting things!

Hi Jeremiah,
Great list! Thanks for putting it together.
I’m one of the many at IBM involved in Social Marketing. I’m the Digital Strategist for Brand System, IBM Growth Markets (primarily: China, Australia, India, Russia, Czech Rep, Poland, Brazil). My role covers all things digital and social media is an ever increasing slice. I am the go-to person for SMM in Growth markets.

Hi Jeremiah,
Great post and most timely as Tom Diederich just spoke to my class and Charlene Li will be speaking next week. I don’t have your email but want to confirm your speaking to my Stanford class on July 14. I also need to send you some information. Would you send me your email address and confirm that you will be coming to the class. Much thanks. Robin
