Vacancy: Community Manager
Under every brigade post there are dozens of comments. Among them are questions from people thinking about serving, words of support, arguments and sometimes outright provocations.
A community manager is the person who talks to all of them. They reply, explain, direct those who are interested to recruiters, and are the first to see when something bad starts brewing in the comments.
A significant share of candidates come from right here — from a conversation in the comments or DMs, not from the form on the website. So this is not "moderation" but the front line of recruitment.
Who can become a community manager
No military experience is required.
What really matters:
- The ability to talk to people in writing: calmly, to the point, without bureaucratic jargon
- Composure. Some comments are written in the heat of emotion, some deliberately to provoke
- A feel for tone: noticing when a conversation is heading the wrong way, before it is too late
- Attentiveness — many enquiries come through every day, and not one of them should get lost
- Medical fitness — determined by the military medical board (VLK)
On the main question: this is a military position, and everyone goes through basic training. But you are hired to work in your profession.
How a community manager differs from a contact centre operator: the community manager works in the public sphere — comments, DMs, mentions. The operator works in a private channel — calls, application forms, email, CRM. Both pass candidates on to recruiters, but the candidates arrive by different routes.
What a community manager does in the 141st SMB
In addition to what is described in the requirements above:
- Questions repeat themselves, and there are approved wordings for contentious topics — this is not a restriction but protection: one careless reply can cost dearly
- Candidates must not just be directed, but not lost: someone who sent a DM at night may change their mind by morning
- Monitoring mentions is an early warning system: you can see when the wrong things start being written about the brigade in the wrong places
- Working in tandem with SMM and recruiters
How you will be trained
The path is the same for everyone: 51 days of basic military training, then the brigade adaptation course — 14–15 days with instructors who have combat experience.
For this position, the training matters most of all: the person in this role answers questions about service and must answer from knowledge, not from a script. Someone who has completed the course themselves talks to a candidate differently — and it shows.
Tactical medicine is drilled until it becomes automatic. Our instructors' principle is short: the priority is to survive.
What you will be provided with
You will be fully kitted out: gear, protective equipment and the equipment you need for the job.
You won't be alone. The community manager works together with SMM, PR and recruiters: you don't have to resolve difficult questions on your own.
What the terms include:
- Pay: base pay of UAH 21,000 and an additional bonus of UAH 30,000, approximately UAH 51,000–55,000 in total
- Full provision of gear, protective equipment and military property
- The social package provided for service members
- Opportunity to obtain combatant status (UBD)
Where you can grow
- SMM manager or PR — from conversations to creating content and communication strategy
- Head of audience communications
- Recruitment — many move there because they already know how to talk to candidates
- Professionally — experience of working with a live, outspoken audience is valued anywhere
In the 141st, competence and results count — not length of service.
Frequently Asked Questions

+There are approved wordings for contentious topics. Everything else is live conversation, and that makes up the bulk of the work.
How is this different from a contact centre operator?

I have no military experience. Can I still join you?
+Yes. Most of our best specialists were civilians yesterday. What matters to us is your motivation. We’ll match a role to your skills: if you understand machinery — you’ll go to the mechanics; if you know electronics — to UAVs or communications. Everything military — we’ll teach you.
How long does training take before deployment to the unit?

I am AWOL (SZCh). Can I join?

Do you provide uniform and equipment?
+Yes. The brigade fully provides basic kit, body armor, helmets and weapons. Plus — thanks to a strong volunteer network, we have additional technological support: drones, EW, transport.
