Hey everyone :)
Over the past 4 years - since the beginning of the development - I have been doing the community communications around Wikidata. The main objectives being that there is good communication between the editors, the development team and everyone else around Wikidata and that the project is a healthy and welcoming place. Since then Wikidata has grown massively and I have also taken on the product management for Wikidata. Both tasks are getting too big to be handled by one person while still giving editors and the development team the attention they deserve. Because of this I am now looking to hire someone who takes over the community communications part. I hope we can find an enthusiastic and knowledgeable person who can support you all.
The job add is here: https://wikimedia.de/wiki/Project_Manager_(m/f)_Community_Communication_Wiki... If you have any questions feel free to reach out to me. If you know someone who would be a good fit please do reach out to them and encourage them to apply.
Cheers Lydia
PS: Don't worry. I'll still be around and available to you all but focusing more on the product management. Wikidata and you all are still very precious to me.
Excellent decision -- thanks to WMF/WMDE for making this important step in strengthening the Wikidata team. Being both product manager and community manager at the same time is an (almost) impossible double duty, and I am glad that there will soon be support for Lydia here.
Is there also a PDF version of this add that we could print and put up at our university?
Best,
Markus
