Responsibilities
CIOnews is building the editorial and community infrastructure for the next generation of CIO and Enterprise Architect leadership. CIOnews.com is a vendor neutral independent publication and community backed by Workato, and we're hiring the first dedicated owner of our community program.
You'll build the CIO and Enterprise Architect community function from the ground up: strategy, program design, member experience, operations, and create the relationships that make it all work. There is no existing playbook to inherit at CIOnews. That requires a builder mindset and creative approach that internalizes the goal to build www.cionews.com into the new voice of IT leadership in the AI era.
This is a builder's role for someone who thrives in ambiguity. You'll be defining how CIOnews creates value for the CIO and enterprise architect communities, and help us identify, recruit, and sustain relationships with senior technology leaders. You’ll work closely with our editorial team to convert those relationships into columns, podcast appearances, events, and more.
In this role, you will also be responsible to:
Community Building & Activation
Define the operating model for this community: member lifecycle, how members are identified, onboarded, and kept engaged between touchpoints, and the feedback loops that route ideas back into editorial.
Plan and help execute community activations, including executive dinners, roundtables, and co-branded events with partners.
Propose and evaluate new plays as the community matures — vertical cohorts, recognition programs, awards, or peer working groups.
Executive Engagement
Build and maintain a working relationship base of CIOs, CTOs, CDOs, CAIOs, CISOs, and Enterprise Architects
Represent CIOnews credibly in rooms with senior technology leaders, at CIOnews events, dinners, and peer gatherings.
Act as a primary point of contact for community members, understanding their priorities well enough to make smart, low-friction asks.
Content Development
Source, recruit, and shape story ideas with good editorial judgment drawn from community relationships.
Partner with the CIOnews editorial team to translate practitioner conversations into published content — podcasts, columns, interviews, and feature pieces.
Bring genuine editorial judgment: know a good story when a community member mentions it in passing.
Minimum Qualifications
- 7+ years of experience building and managing executive communities, peer networks, customer advisory boards, or similar programs serving senior technology leaders.
- Demonstrated experience designing and scaling community, advocacy, or executive engagement programs within an enterprise SaaS, technology, media, analyst, or consulting organization.
- Proven track record of independently building new programs or functions from the ground up, including defining strategy, operational processes, member engagement, and success metrics.
- Experience developing trusted relationships with senior technology executives, including CIOs, CTOs, CDOs, CISOs, Enterprise Architects, or comparable executive audiences.
- Strong understanding of enterprise technology trends and the priorities of CIO and Enterprise Architecture organizations, with the ability to engage credibly in executive conversations.
- Experience partnering with content, editorial, marketing, or communications teams to develop thought leadership, executive content, or community-driven programming.
- Demonstrated ability to use AI-powered tools and workflows to improve productivity, scale relationship management, automate repetitive work, and identify content or engagement opportunities.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience building or managing CIO, Enterprise Architecture, or executive technology leadership communities.
- Experience working at a business publication, industry analyst firm, technology media company, or executive membership organization.
- Familiarity with enterprise AI, automation, integration, or digital transformation initiatives and how they impact CIO organizations.
- Existing relationships within CIO communities, enterprise architecture organizations, or executive peer networks.
- Experience in planning and delivering executive events such as private dinners, roundtables, advisory boards, or leadership summits.
What You'll Need to Succeed
- Builder persona with a proven track record of creating successful programs in ambiguous, early-stage environments.
- Strong editorial judgment with the ability to identify compelling practitioner stories and translate executive conversations into meaningful content opportunities.
- Excellent executive presence, communication, and relationship management skills.
- Systems thinker who approaches community building as an operating system, continuously improving processes, feedback loops, and member experience.
- Comfortable balancing strategic planning with hands-on execution in a fast-moving startup environment.
The base salary range for this position is $215,000 - $250,000 annually and may include equity, benefits, and other components, subject to local eligibility requirements and employment type.

Senior Community Marketing Manager Jobs in California: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a senior community marketing manager in California?
The path typically starts with a bachelor's degree in marketing, communications, public relations, or a related field, followed by several years in community management, brand marketing, or digital marketing roles. California employers strongly favor candidates who have grown a measurable community, whether on social platforms, in-person networks, or branded forums. No state-issued license is required, but platform certifications from Meta, HubSpot, or Google and a portfolio of community growth results carry significant weight in California hiring decisions.
Which companies hire senior community marketing managers in California?
California senior community marketing manager roles are posted by National Community Renaissance, Twitch, and Workato and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. California's dense concentration of technology firms, entertainment studios, and healthcare systems means senior community marketing openings appear across a wider range of industries here than in most other states.
Which California cities have the most senior community marketing manager jobs?
San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Irvine have the most senior community marketing manager openings in California. Los Angeles dominates because of its entertainment, media, and consumer brand headquarters, while San Francisco and the broader Bay Area draw openings from technology and SaaS companies that rely heavily on developer and user community programs, and San Diego's growing biotech and defense sectors add a distinct cluster of demand.
Are there remote senior community marketing manager jobs in California?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 43% of senior community marketing manager openings tied to California are remote or hybrid as of July 2026, reflecting how much of this work is digital by nature. Strategy, content planning, platform moderation, and analytics are the functions most commonly performed fully remotely, while live events and in-person community activations typically require some on-site presence.
How can I get hired as a senior community marketing manager in California with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is to move into the role from an adjacent position such as social media coordinator, content strategist, or marketing associate at a California technology company, consumer brand, or healthcare organization. Large California employers like tech firms in the Bay Area and media companies in Los Angeles routinely promote from within these adjacent roles. Building a portfolio that shows measurable community growth, even from volunteer work, student organizations, or freelance projects, and earning a recognized platform or inbound marketing certification will substantially improve a candidate's chances.
Where can I find and apply to senior community marketing manager jobs in California?
