Skool Community Manager & Content Strategist

I'm launching a Skool community as part of my coaching business, which helps early-stage physical product founders go from idea to launch. I create my own content (posts, videos, resources) but need a partner who can help me run the community day-to-day and guide my content strategy so it actually drives engagement and growth. What I'm looking for: Help setting up and structuring the Skool community (categories, courses/classroom area, levels/points system, welcome flow, community guidelines) Ongoing community management: welcoming new members, sparking discussion, responding to posts, keeping engagement consistent Content guidance: helping me plan a content calendar, suggesting formats/topics that perform well in Skool communities, and giving feedback on drafts I write Light editing support: tightening up captions, posts, and community announcements so they sound clear and on-brand (not stiff or AI-generated) Best-practice recommendations on growing and retaining members (onboarding sequences, engagement prompts, challenges, etc.) About the community: The community is for early-stage founders building physical product businesses (many first-time, self-funded founders) who want practical guidance on sourcing, launching, wholesale, and building a brand without a traditional playbook. Tone is real, encouraging, and grounded in lived experience — not corporate. Ideal candidate: Direct experience managing or growing a Skool community (please share examples/links) Strong understanding of community engagement tactics — not just posting, but building conversation and retention Comfortable giving content strategy input, not just executing what I hand you Great written communication and a good editorial eye Bonus: experience with coaching, education, or founder/entrepreneur audiences Scope: I'm open to either an ongoing part-time arrangement or starting with a paid trial/setup project to see how we work together before committing to something longer-term. Please share your preference and rate structure for both options. I'm open to a mix of paid hourly and performance-based or revenue-share arrangements for the right fit. Happy to discuss what structure works best for both of us To apply, please include: Links to any Skool communities you've managed or grown (results/metrics welcome) A short note on how you'd approach the first 30 days of this community Your rate (hourly) for ongoing support
