What kind of background should an ideal candidate have? Industry experience or management experience, or both?

I'd say a combination of both industry and management experience is ideal. They'll be the face of Y Combinator for its network, and a well-rounded, diverse background is essential for success.

How many people would apply for such a role at YC? The competition in the startup world is fierce, and I imagine the challenge would be quite high for this position.

I'm wondering if there are any plans to involve the YC community in the hiring and interview process for this role. Input from the people they'll serve would be invaluable!
