Our study aims to describe the profile of the managers of Brazilian community universities. Such a topic is justified by the need and lack of managers with a profile consistent with the new institutional demands of the 21st century. Therefore, we carried out qualitative research with 67 managers of 14 universities. Our analysis of the results was based on three categories: a) teaching experience concurrent with the management; b) strategic leadership; c) skills. The results emphasize the complexity of the manager profile and the need for training policies aimed at developing multiple managerial skills. We also highlight the relevance of community universities to society, especially in the South of Brazil, due to its scope of teaching, research, and extension fields associated with the management, thus enables the dissemination of knowledge.
