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, 2008

If 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.

    • 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.

    Technology

  • Jonathan Grudin, Principal Researcher, focused on the adoption of emerging (social computing) at Microsoft
  • Marc Davis, Social Media Guru, Yahoo! Corporation
  • Kingsley Joseph, Sr. Manager, Successforce.com & IdeaExchange, SalesForce

  • Dick Costolo, Social Media, Google
    • 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.

      You have not listed communities that are social or promoting a product like Dell or there are a lot of other companies that need a strategist to brand them and be out there amongst there consumers and evangelists listening and moderating.

      @Don...well put that "Building community online is not easy. And it’s not just for social networks anymore. Companies of all sizes, shapes and colors have recognized how important digital communities can be to their business, so many (if not most) are carving out positions specifically for community management.

      I have accepted your challenge: "If you do not meet the requirements to meet this list, you can create your own, and I’ll prominently link to it."

    • Excellent list & resource. The number of people moving into this role and crafting the responsibilities and functions is pretty inspiring.

      I came here via post @ readwriteweb.com (http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/hiring_a_c...).

      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-enfocremen...)

      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 and thanks for pulling this together. I’d like to add my name to your growing list under the Finance category.

    • 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".

      Thank you for taking the time to curate and share such a helpful resource.

      I’m Rhonda Lowry and my title here at Turner Broadcasting System, Inc is Vice President, Social Media Technologies. I spend my time between technology, sociology and business so I'm not sure I fit neatly into your categorization scheme.

      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.

      Thanks for stopping by, I've encouraged many others at companies under 1000 employees to start a list, if you choose to do so, I'll link to it. I simply don't have the time to manage it.
    • 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! :)
    • Thanks for submitting all, I've been a bit behind as I've been traveling and busy with research.

      I've added a few names, but please note, this list has specific requirements: I'm seeking folks in Enterprise class companies or organizations (over 1000 employees) and I use linkedin to help filter this (it shows company size)

      Should you want to create you own list, I'll be happy to link to it, and promote it for the SMB space.

      That would be an interesting cut! But many of these brands and roles are global, so it wouldn't make much sense.

      Hi Jeremiah
      I'm reading from Staniforth - a PR consultancy in the UK. We've started doing social media projects with people in large companies but occupying traditional comms roles rather than the emerging specialisms you're listing.

      Would it be too much of a drag to segment in your list any new Social Computing Strategists and Community Managers coming out of the UK?
    • Barry, good catch, this is done.
    • I think Digitas should be in the agency category, no? The agency list is light but I'm sure agency types will make sure to let you know who they are -- we're agency types after all and can't help but promote ourselves. I'm not sure we could debate whether any agency qualifies as enterprise but they certainly serve enterprises. Good post. This would be a nice del.icio.us set too.
    • Chris

      Great stuff, AMD must be glad to have you.
    • Hi Jeremiah,
      I'm Chris James and I'm the Social Media and Online Community Strategist at Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and would like to be added to your list as well.

      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.
    • 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=&am...
      * http://blog.web2expo.com/2008/04/hello-world-20...
      * http://janerri.wordpress.com/2008/07/18/zero-to...

      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.

      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,

      Thank you for putting out this initiative. It's a welcome "water cooler" to baseline important trends in this job market.

      I am Director of Emerging Technologies and Research Analysis at Sigma Xi, The Scientific Research Society. We are one of the country's largest member-based non-profit science organizations, representing about 60K scientists and engineers from all disciplines.

      My role encompasses mainly the first two of those you mention. I strategize on how we can position ourselves to provide value in a competitive environment. I support our blogs, forums and various other outreach media including our social media presence on Facebook and LinkedIn groups. I am also researching social networking products to evaluate which could best meet our needs to provide value and increase engagement. We'd expect to outsource significant development of a custom application.

      I am active on Twitter and have profiles on LinkedIn and Naymz, as well as a couple of dozen social media sites.

    • Hi Jeremiah,

      I started at SpinVox 9mths ago as a 'Digital Marketing Product Manager' - since February this role has developed and a few months ago I was made Head of Social Media Strategy
      Inwards, yes. But also outwards - blogger outreach, community/relationship manager... etc!

      SpinVox is the market leader in voice to text technology, over 300 employees worldwide and recently closed a funding round of $100m with Goldman Sachs.

      And some links for you sir,

      PS - Not sure I qualify, but at least this made me update a few things.
    • oh, just read you want to link to the linkedin accounts: mine is http://linkedin.com/in/davidcushman
    • Hi Jeremiah. Great idea - we'll all end up linking here!
      My title is Digital Development Director but my linkedin profile says I'm an evangelist for the dominance of communities and the power of the network.
      I work at Bauer Consumer Media in the UK.
    • Thanks all for submitting, lots of great folks here

      In order to keep my scope manageable (it's already difficult) I've added folks that are part of enterprise size companies with Forrester defines as over 1000 employees.

      Lots of great folks, thanks for your understanding, I'm doing my best and wow, this is a big undertaking.

      Just added quite a few folks from comments witheld in spam, it's a problem as it inserts them in the timeline, I have to re-read all the comments.

      Paolo, does Ludovic have a LinkedIn account? I'd prefer to link to that.

      LaSandra, is Nory internal or external? I've changed the scope of this listing to be external, I can't handle internal.
    • Ok, I'll throw my name in the hat! Alan Lepofsky, Senior Strategist at Lotus/IBM. I've spent the last 15 years helping companies learn to share information internally, as well as connecting to partners, suppliers, and customers. (even competitors!) Long before the buzzwords of web 2.0, Lotus was preaching the value of collaboration. The tools and culture have evolved, but many of the same principals still apply today.

      I sent you an email, need some additional info. Thanks, it's so hard to keep track of all that Intel is doing.

      Sure, summer wine party at my house for the internets!
    • 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?
    • Jeremiah, I am a Community Manager at Adobe. I'm in the Developer Relations group and my current focus is the Adobe User Group program.
    • 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.

      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.
