Community & Events Coordinator (Remote)

Percona's Community Team is growing, and we're looking for a versatile, people-first community builder to help us grow and support the global Percona open source community. This role sits at the intersection of online community management, internal program delivery, and in-person event representation. You'll be the connective tissue between our developer community, our forum and Slack, our internal community programs, and our presence at events around the world. This is a hands-on, varied role for someone who is equally comfortable moderating a Slack channel, writing a quick fix for our website, running a contributor program, and staffing a booth at a conference on the other side of the world. We're deliberately not narrowing this role to a single lane — if you're a generalist who thrives on variety and genuinely enjoys people and community, we want to hear from you. What You Will Do Social Media Create and manage social content that engages the developer and DBA community authentically. Partner with our engineering experts and to amplify community voices and content. Build and maintain relationships with partner organizations and their communities for joint events and initiatives. Create video and short-form content that brings the social engagement plan to life, using AI-assisted tools to work more efficiently without compromising quality. Familiarity with social media platforms (Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit) and how content performs across each. Experience with Buffer, Sprout Social or comparable scheduling and listening tools. Comfortable on camera and able to create authentic, engaging short-form video content. Online Community Engagement Own day-to-day engagement on the Percona Forum and Community Slack welcoming new members, answering or routing questions, and keeping discussions active and healthy. Monitor community health and sentiment across channels, flagging issues and celebrating wins. Build relationships with active contributors, MVPs, and long-time community members. Events & On-the-Ground Support Travel to conferences, meetups, and partner events to represent Percona and staff the booth or table. Provide regional support for community and partner events, from swag to schedules to on-site troubleshooting. Act as the on-site point person, comfortable making real-time calls when things don't go to plan Internal Programs Help run and continuously improve internal community programs (e.g. ambassador/advocate programs, contributor recognition, onboarding for new community members). Coordinate internally with Marketing, Product, and Engineering to keep programs aligned with company priorities. Track program metrics and report on community growth and engagement. Website & Technical Maintenance Perform light-to-moderate coding and maintenance on Percona's community website (content updates, bug fixes, small feature work).
