To give you a better idea of what it takes to be a community manager in the world of road and trail-running, here are a few words from Sophie:WHAT IS IT LIKE TO BE A COMMUNITY MANAGER FOR SALOMON?

• The role involves getting to know the Salomon running community, the sport and the athletes inside out. Two days are rarely the same. We spend time editing, curating and posting content as well as a lot of time on the field capturing content and working with the athletes. It’s a role where you are given a lot of independence so time management as well as flexibility is crucial

WHAT WAS THE MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT YOU HAD ON THE JOB?

• I love that the role allows me to live my passion for all things running, and allows me to work with an enthusiastic, talented and supportive team. A highlight for me was covering UTMB this year. We had a huge content team following our many athletes on the course. It was super rewarding to bring the images, videos and updates to our audience.
