Virtual Moderator Jobs in California (NOW HIRING)

Who We Are:
We're a full-service creative shop born out of ATTN:'s purpose-driven mission to bring attention to the things that matter. We exist to build brands for the attention era. We accelerate growth for brands, putting them at the center of culture so they become the center of attention. We are a diverse group of entrepreneurial spirits, creative minds and makers and we're lucky enough to work with some of the world's most innovative brands and culturally connected brands.
What We Are Looking For:
As a Community Manager in a highly regulated sector like healthcare, finance, or legal tech, you hold a vital role in shaping how our brand connects online. Reporting to the Strategy Director, your mission is to build a thriving community from the ground up by establishing deep trust, swiftly addressing audience issues, and ensuring absolute alignment with strict regulatory compliance. You prove that a regulated brand can still be a cultural leader; you're as comfortable navigating data privacy and sensitive disclosures as you are centering the brand in internet culture, trends, and daily conversations. Equal parts charismatic storyteller (think "Most Friendly" on-camera energy) and protective brand guardian, you are the essential bridge that allows us to engage authentically.
