AltSpace is seeking a Community Manager to assist with our growing business!

What is AltSpace?
AltSpace is a coworking space situated smack dab in the middle of the CBD in Wellington. We are independent workers - designers, writers, online advertisers, developers, consultants, and entrepreneurs who know that being independent doesn’t have to mean being isolated. Our office provides an attractive alternative to working from home, working from a coffee shop, or squatting in a serviced office. Our space invites us all to be productive - by working alongside one another (and sometimes even working together) we are happier AND do better work. Simple as that.

What is coworking?
Coworking is redefining the way we do work. The idea is simple: that independent professionals and those with workplace flexibility work better together than they do alone. Coworking answers the question that so many face when working from home: “Why isn’t this as fun as I thought it would be?” Beyond just creating better places to work, coworking spaces are built around the idea of community-building and sustainability. Coworking spaces agree to uphold the values set forth by those who developed the concept in the first place: collaboration, community, sustainability, openness, and accessibility. Read all about it on the coworkingwiki or via the coworking Google Group.

We’re looking for a Community Manager who will use online and offline avenues to reach out to people to get them to know about AltSpace. We’re looking for someone who lives and breathes online as well as a member of the Wellington community.
