Community Program Manager

At Mendix and Siemens, we believe great communities build great products.

We’re looking for a Community Program Manager who’s ready to shape, grow, and elevate our global ecosystem — with a special focus on the Siemens Industrial Operations X community.

In this role, you’ll be the driving force behind community programs, content quality, and collaboration between our users, partners, and internal teams. You’ll make sure everything reaches our community — from product updates to learning resources.

You’ll also act as the bridge between our community and our product organization, making sure real user feedback turns into meaningful improvements. Your work will ensure our community not only grows, but thrives — informed, aligned, and heard.

What You’ll Do:

• Build and scale community programs that drive engagement, learning, and growth across the Mendix and Siemens ecosystems.
• Be the quality gatekeeper for all community-facing materials — ensuring every presentation, document, and announcement looks polished, consistent, and aligned with Siemens’ brand and tone.
• Stay close to the community — actively connecting with users, partners, and customers to understand their needs, challenges, and ideas for improving the product experience.
• Bring the voice of the community to life: Translate feedback and insights into clear recommendations for product and UX improvements.
• Make product updates visible and exciting: Lead the communication of release updates, new features, and product improvements across the project portfolio.
• Shape the Mendix Forum experience: Act as a product owner for the Forum — collecting requirements, prioritizing improvements, and ensuring the platform evolves with community needs.
• Create high-impact communication materials: Craft compelling decks, updates, and stories that inform, inspire, and reflect our brand’s quality.
• Collaborate across teams: Work hand in hand with product, marketing, and regional teams to make sure community programs are aligned with Siemens’ global strategy.
• Measure and optimize: Use community data and feedback to track impact and continuously improve engagement programs.

You’ll Succeed in This Role if You…

• Have 3+ years of experience in community, program, or project management - ideally in Tech or SaaS.
• Are a connector by nature - you love building relationships and helping people feel part of something bigger.
• Have a keen eye for detail and design, ensuring every piece of communication looks and feels right.
• Listen deeply and think critically - you can sense what users are saying (and not saying) and turn that into action.
• Are organised and proactive, with a talent for turning ideas into structured, scalable programs.
• Communicate clearly and confidently, whether writing a release update or moderating a vivid online discussion.
• Understand developer communities and have a strong interest in how people interact with digital products.
• Thrive in cross-functional collaboration and know how to align multiple teams around shared goals.

Bonus Points:

• Experience running community or partner programs.
• Familiarity with the Mendix Platform, Software in Factory automation, or AI in Industry.
• A background in working with product teams or forum/community platforms.
• PowerPoint and copywriting skills that make complex information look (and sound) effortless.
• Creative in concept and editing of shorter videos.
• Experience in structured online / offline event management.
