A few days ago, our current HM and undisputed GOAT of vendetta quiz comps, Arch, let me and Atra know that he would step down by the end of this month. Now, we'd known this was coming because he's been talking about for a while, including in his reports, but that doesn't make it any easier to lose someone who's redefined his job: today, the only example of a modern HM is Arch. Thankfully, he has agreed to stay on as SM:HM to help his successor find their footing. So here we go...

Applications must be sent via email to me and Atra no later than October 26. We will discuss applications with Arch and possibly other DCers.

What are we looking for?

• The job has changed somewhat from what it used be. Review an overview of the position on the wiki and read Arch's report talking about the changes.
  
• Experience on the Shadow Academy staff, particularly in the last ten years.
  
• Demonstrated ability to work on a leadership team.
  
• Ability to manage the largest staff on the DC. Though much smaller than it used to be, the HM still manages about twice as many people as any other DCer.
• Ideas on how the SA can be improved to better serve the community.
  
• No rank requirement, but as rank often is reflective of experience focus on the experience.
  

Keep in mind that HM is not the new member experience DCer any more. Emissary has taken over that responsibility. However, HM still has an important role to play in ensuring that our new members have easy access to effective learning tools and information about the club.

If you have any specific questions, feel free to reach out to me or Atra.
