Community manager resume example

French companies use the English title « community manager » for the person who runs a brand's social media accounts and talks with its audience.

In practice you plan an editorial calendar, write posts and captions in French, brief or produce visuals and short videos, publish at the right moment and answer comments and private messages, including the angry ones. Weekly reporting on reach, engagement and traffic helps the marketing team decide what to keep. In an agency you juggle several client accounts with different tones; in-house, you know one brand deeply and coordinate with customer service, product and HR. Moderation and crisis handling are part of the job: a delivery problem or a badly received post can flood the comments in an hour, and you are the first to respond.

Tips

  • Link to the accounts you managed, or to a short portfolio with screenshots and context.
  • Show results as observations or with placeholders you can fill with your real figures.
  • Specify which networks you know well; LinkedIn B2B and TikTok are different jobs.
  • Mention moderation and crisis handling, which recruiters rarely see described.
  • Keep the CV visually tidy: it is read as a sample of your taste.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Writing « passionate about social media » instead of showing accounts and results.
  • Listing every network without saying which ones you ran.
  • Leaving spelling mistakes in French, which disqualify quickly for a writing job.
  • Presenting personal follower counts as professional experience.

Working as a community manager in France

Community manager is not a regulated title in France, and employers usually recruit from bac+2 to bac+5 programmes in communication or digital marketing, as well as from certified short courses. Strong written French is essential for French audiences. Since the 2023 law on commercial influence, sponsored content must be clearly labelled as advertising, so you should know the basic rules when briefing creators. Many posts are in agencies or as work-study contracts. Search for « community manager », « social media manager », « chargé de communication digitale » or « content manager réseaux sociaux ».

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a portfolio as a community manager?

Yes, almost always. A simple PDF or web page with a few campaigns, screenshots of posts, the context of each account and what you learned is enough. If your work belongs to a former employer, show public posts and explain your role without sharing internal data.

Can I work as a community manager in France without fluent French?

For French audiences, no: the job is mostly writing and answering in French, with the right tone and no mistakes. International brands and startups sometimes hire English-language community managers for global accounts, and that is the route to target if your French is still developing.

Should I add my own TikTok or Instagram account?

Only if it is clean and shows skills relevant to the job, such as video editing or a consistent editorial line. Recruiters will look at it, so check the content first. A small but well-made account says more than a large one built on unrelated content.
