AIM supports the growth in the end-point assessment (EPA) of apprenticeship standards, delivery of high-quality EPA, and working in partnership with major employers across sectors. We are currently focusing our work on the creative and cultural industries. We are seeking to recruit talented and motivated assessors across a range of standards in the creative sector, including Digital Community Manager.

Digital Community Manager

Digital Community Managers work generally in industries and organisations that interact with their customers and end user online, such as the videogame industry and software providers. They facilitate and instigate communication between 'the community' (customers) and the organisation and their communication strategy supports the business objectives. They are the 'eyes and ears' of the organisation within the player community. Their role involves relaying information back from the organisation to its digital community to contribute to the strategic direction of the organisation. This standard relates to technical aspects of analysing and interpreting data from the community, evaluating customer behaviour and reporting upwards within the organisation. 

Assessors for this standard should be knowledgeable within the digital technology sector and have recent, relevant experience at the same level, or a more senior level than the apprentices they are assessing, working within the sector/managing online communities/brand management/digital marketing 

Typical job titles undertaking this standard could include:

Community manager, Consumer experience representative and Games community manager

More information on this standard can be found on the AIM website
