The inevitable job description for a community manager

Connie Bensen a community strategist who has been blogging and working in the community space for some time has a superb series of posts around the job description/ responsibilities and roles of a community manager.
I’ve found this list most helpful in describing what I do to my mother who for the longest time has been giving out the stock answer of “My daughter works with computers.”

It’s also very helpful in my role as a new Community Manager to help set up goals and milestones both for myself but also for the product I work with, the people I work for and the community we are inviting to share with
