Community Manager | Senior

What we're building

BlancVPN is looking for a Community Manager | Senior to own the brand's voice in conversations with users and to shape how our community grows around the product. This is not a reactive, reply-only role: you set the strategy for how we talk to people, turn everyday conversations into a living community, and make sure everyone who writes to us gets a human answer.

Sometimes that answer is a clear explanation. Sometimes it is a well-timed joke. Either way, it should feel attentive, useful, and true to the brand — and you're the person who defines what "true to the brand" sounds like.

What we're looking for

Core Requirements

• - Fluent Russian and English ( B2+ )
• - 4+ years managing communities or brand communication, including a senior or lead role
• - Proven experience being a brand's voice across chats, comments, and reviews — at scale and under load
• - Clear writing and real empathy: you can answer humanly a hundred times a day, never from a template
• - Humor with boundaries: you know when a joke lands and when it doesn't
• - Ownership : you can run community independently — set the plan, the Tone of Voice, and the standards, not just execute someone else's
• - System thinking : you turn a flow of messages into structured insights and clear next steps for the team
• - Product understanding: you can explain how a VPN works in simple words

Nice-to-have

• - Experience building a community from scratch and running ambassador or advocacy programs
• - Experience defining or evolving a brand's Tone of Voice
• - Experience mentoring junior community managers or moderators
• - Strong awareness of mainstream social media trends and formats
• - Experience in tech products
• - Comfort working with community metrics — engagement, retention, sentiment — and reporting on them

What you'll be doing

Community strategy and content

• - Own how we talk to people across every channel: Telegram chats and comments, Instagram, App Store and Google Play reviews — setting and evolving our Tone of Voice, with exceptions where they make sense
• - Grow a real community around the product: drive engagement through polls, discussions, and reasons to keep coming back to the channel
• - Catch news hooks and memes: situational content and interactions with other brands that expand reach
• - Handle negative feedback calmly, without canned replies, and bring every issue to a resolution
• - Set the standards and playbooks the rest of the team follows when they speak to users

Support and Feedback

• - Pick up support cases in social channels when users write to Instagram instead of support, coordinating complex replies with the support team
• - Pass structured feedback to product — user pains and requests with context and priority, not just forwarded screenshots
• - Moderate the community: spam, bots, and provocation
• - Track community health and surface trends the team should act on before they become problems
