# Assigning an App Manager and Internal Ownership

## Learn why assigning a dedicated App Manager is critical to the success of your community app and what responsibilities this role typically includes.

**Overview**

A successful app launch depends on having clear ownership within your organization. While our team guides you through implementation and provides ongoing support, the most successful programs designate an internal **App Manager** responsible for overseeing the platform and driving engagement within their community. This role ensures the app remains active, relevant, and integrated into your organization’s daily operations.

 

**What Is an App Manager?**

An App Manager is the primary internal owner of your app. This individual acts as the central point of coordination for your organization and helps ensure the platform continues to deliver value after launch. The App Manager does not need to be highly technical, but they should be comfortable managing content, communicating with users, and encouraging adoption among staff and alumni.

 

**Core Responsibilities**

The App Manager typically oversees several key areas of the platform. This includes updating resources and program information within the app, sending announcements or push notifications to users, monitoring engagement metrics to understand how the community is interacting with the platform, and coordinating internally with staff to promote the app during programming and alumni outreach. The App Manager also serves as the primary point of contact for questions related to the platform.

 

**Why This Role Is Important**

Organizations that assign a dedicated App Manager consistently see stronger adoption and engagement. Without clear ownership, it becomes easy for updates, outreach, and promotion to fall behind. A designated owner ensures the app stays active and continues to provide value to your alumni and community members.

 

**Who Should Be the App Manager?**

The App Manager is often someone already responsible for alumni relations, marketing, program coordination, or community engagement. The ideal candidate is organized, responsive, and motivated to keep alumni connected to your program. In many organizations this role is filled by an Alumni Coordinator, Program Director, or Marketing team member.

 

**How This Role Supports Long-Term Success**

Implementation focuses on building the foundation for your app, but long-term success depends on consistent engagement. By assigning an App Manager, your organization ensures someone is responsible for maintaining content, communicating with users, and monitoring engagement as your community grows.

 

**Next Steps**

Before or during implementation, your team should identify the individual who will serve as your App Manager. This person will participate in key implementation discussions, receive platform training, and help guide the internal rollout of your app to staff and alumni.
