It wasn't that long ago that I was expounding right here on this very blog about my excitement regarding being hired as the new Volunteer Coordinator for Conquer Club. Now, I have reason to expound a little more because yesterday I was promoted from Volunteer Coordinator to a new position of Operations Manager.
The Community Manager, Hyasri, who was hired at the same time I was has left for other employment opportunities and so that left the owner of Conquer Club with the predicament of having to fill the role and not really having anyone he wanted to give it to. So, instead he decided to split the two main areas that the Community Manager worked in and give one to me and the other to one of the other admins, AndyDufresne.
So, I have all my job duties from before, and added to that I have all of the projects, activities, and site improvement work that the Community Manager was doing. AndyDufresne is picking up the role of Chief Moderator and dealing directly with the public to ease concerns, put out fires, and be a public face for the site. He'll do a great job at that as he is easily the most level-headed of all the admins. I get a little too fiesty from time to time.
I'm really excited about the opportunity because it fits right into one of my personal skill sets of organization and planning. It also gives me five more hours of work each week which offsets some of my stress over increased expenses with a new baby arriving at the end of the year at least a little bit.
There are some big things planned for Conquer Club in the coming weeks (which I hope I can get the go-ahead on rather quickly), and hopefully they will improve the site for the better.
