Community Initiatives Manager, Subreddit Classification
"The front page of the internet,” Reddit brings over 330 million people together each month through their common interests, inviting them to share, vote, comment, and create across thousands of communities.
Reddit’s Community Initiatives team tackles challenges at scale. Whether it’s running experiments to drive community growth, educating our user base, analyzing community behavior, or building dashboards to support operations teams, CI touches nearly every part of the community experience.
We're looking for a program manager to help create and manage categorized lists of our vast communities. Your primary focus will be coordinating with our Product teams to ensure access and appropriate use of the subreddit lists they need to accomplish their goals.

- Liaise with relevant Product teams to ensure they understand our lists, have the data they need, and use it appropriately
- Develop, run, and measure operational experiments to drive outcomes within our many communities
- Build internal processes and resources for our Community Support and Community Relations teams
- Find creative and speedy ways to tackle unexpected company challenges
What We Can Expect From You:
- BA/BS degree or equivalent practical experience
- 5 years of relevant work experience in a community role
- Ability to author and troubleshoot basic scripts and database queries (SQL, Google BigQuery, etc)

We are a diverse team that is committed to building an inclusive environment. We're not perfect, but we listen, admit our mistakes, and evolve. We believe your perspective, skills, passion, and empathy are just as important as degrees or brand names. We encourage applications from all people.
