Welcome to the first global landscape of operations communities!
After a ton of research in 2021, we've put together a map of all the operations communities we could find.
For more details about every single community and how to join, scroll down. If you can’t find yours on this list or know of a community that should be here, submit it here.
We’re currently working on an updated version, so keep your eyes peeled for an update in the coming weeks.

This community is made up of marketing professionals from a wide array of industries and backgrounds. We’ve got members who are experienced in multiple marketing automation platforms and a wide variety of marketing technology solutions. The membership is paid, but that payment goes toward MoPro scholarships, which help members pay for things like e-learning courses and collegiate courses.
https://www.opsy.work/membership/
Opsy is a community of folks doing opsy things in tech. We define operations as anything that keeps the business running smoothly. This has traditionally included "back office" functions like logistics, finance, HR, legal, and facilities but, in recent years, it's also grown to include everything from no-code automation and special projects to subspecialties like marketing ops and revenue ops. Some of us focus on one area, but most of us work across a lot of them. Running operations at a startup can be big job, especially when you are the only (or most senior) ops pro on the team. Finding mentors and peers who are doing similar work can be challenging since the nature of our jobs changes so much from company to company. That's why we created this community—to share resources, learn from one another, and build our networks!

https://coostories.com/customer-stories.html
https://gossmikey.typeform.com/to/UYeZSFlA
The community for customer ops professionals in startups. Customer roles can be seen as stepping stones to other areas within the business and often are seen as firefighting cost centres necessary to keep customers happy. But we believe that's an old and sad way of thinking. The importance of the customer in businesses has grown exponentially over the last few years. The voice of the customer is louder and more important than ever. We're building a world where Customer focussed roles have a seat around the leadership table and where the Chief Customer Officer is a very real, inspiring and present role. By building a community full of customer specific content, tools, and resources, we are helping Customer managers drive customer centricity and revenue in their respective roles thus putting the customer at the heart of business decisions for the long haul.

Our Mission is to bring like-minded operations pros together. In the beginning, Wizards of Ops was just a couple of friends shooting the sh*t about everyday Salesforce conundrums in text and email — until it wasn’t. More friends joined, more expertise was shared, and one day, a small group of buds transformed into a big group of buds, calling a dedicated Slack group home for career advice, Q&As, and more.
Tackling the modern challenges of marketing and revenue operations — together. MasterOps offers events, office hours (where you can dive into different challenges and solutions), a private Slack group, and courses that cover topics such as attribution, budgeting, and using dashboards.
Connect with other early stage ops folks. Currently in closed beta and launching soon.
