The latter one actually becomes a real capital in your business model. Maybe the concept "community manager" is a bit misleading as the stress is more on managing information-communication processes than social processes, which would refer to community characteristics. In this sense concept from communication sciences might be more suitable - opinion leader, crowd mobilizer, social marketing expert..? Lastly, I disagree with Tina that this occupation is only relevant for jobs involving social media (at least directly). On the contrary, I don't imagine a single organization (either company, instituition or a political party) which would NOT be interested for such a profile.

None. But I believe that the potential employer will take the number/quality of your "friends" on social networks into consideration if you are applying for a job that involves social media.
