Community Manager application · July–December 2026

I bring the snacks and the systems.

Hi Monica, I’m Amanda. I’m the warm welcome in Slack, the calm person behind the event reminders, and the spreadsheet making sure nobody gets forgotten. I’ve spent 10+ years building communities, programmes and content that help people feel seen, informed and excited to join in.

Let’s make the club even better together.

I already run on U.S. hours for client work, so showing up for your morning Slack activity and live sessions is just... Tuesday.

A few crunchy numbers

Big reach. Human-sized care.

I managed 70,000 creators across 60 countries and somehow still knew who to check in on. Scale doesn’t have to mean cold.

70K+creators and brands in AMAKA’s global network
60+countries across a distributed creative community
145K+audience reach for a national youth programme
6M+views for a youth TV show built from zero
10+ years making people want to show up.
Warm commsClear, human and easy to act on.
Calm operationsEvery detail handled without the drama.
Strong follow-throughNobody gets forgotten after the big idea.
Slack, events & support

How I’d keep the club buzzing

Make every new member feel expected, at home and clear on the first useful thing to do.

🍓

Slack Welcome & Onboarding

First week, I’m already learning names, answering the “wait, where do I click” DMs, and making sure nobody’s first impression of AI Snack Club is silence.

🍿

Events & Reminders

Events shouldn’t feel like a scavenger hunt. I make sure the invite, the reminder, and the “here’s the link, again, just in case” all land exactly when someone needs them.

🍪

Member Support

Answer questions quickly, spot repeated friction and turn it into clearer resources or better flows.

🥨

City Leads Rhythm

Keep every City Lead equipped, connected and never stuck waiting for an answer.

🍿

Own the rhythm of Slack

I build a steady cadence of welcomes, prompts, useful replies and member-to-member connection. Not noise for the sake of activity. Conversation with a reason.

🥨

Make events easy to attend

I can run the full loop from promotion and reminders to logistics, hosting support and follow-up. Members should never have to hunt for the link.

🍪

Support City Leads

City Leads get templates and quick answers from me, plus plenty of room to make their city’s meetup actually feel like their city, not a copy-paste event.

🍫

Write like a person

My comms are warm, clear and skimmable. I can switch between a Slack nudge, a polished newsletter, an event reminder and a calm answer to “help, where is the link?”

🍬

Fix the tiny friction

I enjoy spotting repeat questions, messy handoffs and slow workflows, then turning them into templates, automations or a better portal flow.

Why me?

Tap a thought. I promise it has a point.

Global community

AMAKA

I became the go-to person for creative partners while supporting programmes, partnerships and events across New York, London and Lagos.

  • Creator communication and support
  • Multi-city event delivery

  • 40+ artists in the pipeline
  • Human-centred participant support
Built from zero

No Filter

At 20, with no budget, I recruited a team, built partnerships and created a women-centred show where young people could speak honestly.

  • Community trust and safe-space design
  • Talent support and conflict mediation
  • End-to-end production coordination

What people say when I’m not writing the copy.

Colleagues, collaborators and community members on the work, the energy and how it feels to be supported by me.

“I had the pleasure of managing Amanda during her time at AMAKA, and in that time she made a meaningful impact on our team. She is smart, creative, and an absolute team player, always bringing positive energy and genuine care for the people around her. During her time with AMAKA, Amanda led several projects and became the go-to person for all our creative partners, building strong relationships and ensuring delivery of high-quality work. She also demonstrated a natural ability to build commercial partnerships and showed real potential in sales. Her true strength, however, lies in content, relationship-building, and storytelling — skills that make her stand out as both a strategic thinker and a trusted collaborator. Any team would be lucky to have Amanda, and I’m confident she will continue to thrive and add value wherever she goes.”
Sibahle AlkemaHead of Marketing, AMAKA Studio
“Overall feedback is inspired by everyone here and the AI Influencers using human stories to sell. This is an amazing group.”
Birungi KawooyaMindful African Art Facilitator & Wellbeing Researcher
“This is the best session I have had in a while, thank you so much ladies.”
Christina Murray AdderleyChief of Staff — Success Is Black
“The best thing about Voice2Rep is how it was human centered. We could really feel like the team cared and we were included. That’s something that really set the program apart from other initiatives and competitions.”
Rachel KwainonaVoice2Rep participant
“Amanda is a highly talented, creative, hard-working and wonderful colleague. I worked with her on multiple creative projects for two years at AMAKA, and her research, tenacity and passion for projects, and hard work ethic is unbeatable. She is multi-skilled in that she can write, ideate, produce, present and analyse data, and is an excellent problem-solver. Amanda’s also really friendly, fun, compassionate and fair to work with, and you would count yourself very lucky to work with her!”
Michelle DrukerHead of Content, AMAKA Studio
“I’ve known Mandy from during her Magamba days, her hosting Litfest, until we started Multi-Hyphenate Women together almost four years later. Having her lead events was an obvious choice. Speaking comes naturally to her, and she’s one of the people you see and wish they had a channel of their own. If you ever see me confident enough to make any content at all, it will definitely be because I watched her and learned that the stage can be a way for me to move a room like she does.”
Millicent YedwaFounder + Lead AI Strategist, Revenue OS
“I’ve commissioned Amanda to write on a number of occasions and she is a confident and talented writer with fresh perspectives and ideas. She is always open to editing suggestions and developing articles further and she’s an absolute pleasure to work with.”
Jendella BensonHead of Editorial, Black Ballad
How I would hold the week

A community rhythm people can feel.

The exact rhythm would flex around your events, but the goal never changes: members always know what’s happening and never feel like they’re shouting into an empty room.

MONDAY

Warm welcomes, a “what’s happening” post, member questions and a quick pulse check on what needs attention.

TUESDAY

Event promotion, speaker context, conversation prompts and direct support for members who need a nudge.

WEDNESDAY

Live-event support, real-time Slack presence, useful notes and a clean handoff for follow-up.

THURSDAY

Recap the good bits, invite reflection, connect members and turn repeat questions into clearer resources.

FRIDAY

City Lead check-in, newsletter support, member wins, feedback themes and next week’s tidy-up.

On the AI side.

New tools launch every week. My job is to have already played with them before your members ask about them.

Pick a tool — here’s where that actually shows up day to day.

The vibe-coding bit

I don’t just use the tools. I build with them.

At Creator Match, I sit close to where Lovable, Claude, and Zapier are still figuring out how real people actually use them. I’ve spent my whole career doing the same thing in different rooms: watching where people get stuck, and building the calm, clear thing that gets them unstuck.

Here’s where that actually shows up day to day.

What snack is this community moment?

Welcome bite
Tag them by name, point them to one useful place, then ask an easy question they can actually answer.
The person behind the application

I’m Amanda.

I’m the person people come to when something does not make sense, when things need organising or when we want to make sure everyone feels welcome.

I’m the person who notices when the RSVP link is broken before you do, and fixes it before anyone has to ask.

Ten-plus years, five very different industries, one thing that never changes: people show up when they feel like someone’s actually paying attention.

I once ran a national program across 6 languages with zero room for “oops, forgot about that.” Organised isn’t a personality trait for me, it’s a survival skill.

Community first, always.
My application note

Why AI Snack Club?

Hi Monica,

Most women don’t need another expert telling them they’re behind on AI. They need somewhere friendly to ask the “obvious” question and come back next week a little more confident. That’s exactly what AI Snack Club is doing, and it’s the exact kind of space I’ve spent years building.

I’d bring the same energy I bring everywhere: quick to answer, easy to talk to, and a little too invested in making sure nobody feels lost in the Slack.

Favourite snack: anything chocolate. Chocolate biscuits, chocolate with nuts, chocolate in my coffee. If it has chocolate, I’m already listening.

Amanda
