Community Manager

Our client—the premier global platform helping creators bring film, games, art, and technology projects to life—is seeking an experienced Community Manager to join their Marketing team.

Reporting to the Director of Brand and Communications, this new role serves as the voice of the company and the front line of brand reputation across the broader web. Beyond standard social scheduling, this high-impact role actively engages communities, de-escalates emerging issues, and translates online sentiment into actionable product and policy feedback.

Key Responsibilities

• Reputation & Issue Management: Monitor brand mentions and sentiment across Reddit, Discord, social channels, review sites, and niche forums. Act as an early-warning system for reputational risks, partnering with Comms, Trust & Safety, and Legal to execute escalation playbooks and crisis responses.
• Community Engagement: Represent the company with an authentic, human voice. Engage thoughtfully within Reddit, Discord, and creator forums—correcting misinformation, resolving issues, celebrating creator milestones, and de-escalating conflicts while adhering to platform norms.
• Voice of the Community: Synthesize qualitative chatter and unstructured data into prioritized, evidence-backed insights for Product, Design, Policy, and Support teams to drive business improvements.
• Community Operations & Strategy: Oversee the operation, moderation standards, and tooling for company-owned community spaces. Establish engagement guidelines and advise cross-functional teams ahead of major launches or policy updates.

Qualifications

• Experience: 4+ years in community management, brand reputation, or social strategy, ideally within a marketplace, platform, or consumer tech environment.
• Platform Fluency: Deep, authentic experience navigating Reddit and Discord culture, alongside standard social platforms (X, Instagram, Threads, YouTube, Bluesky) and forum ecosystems.
• Crisis Judgment & Communication: Exceptional written communication with the ability to maintain composure under pressure, quickly discern vocal complaints from genuine crises, and advise executive stakeholders.
• Tooling & Analytics: Hands-on proficiency with social listening and community platforms (e.g., Brandwatch, Sprout Social, Sprinklr) and the ability to turn unstructured text into actionable dashboards and reports.
• Industry Familiarity: Knowledge of the creator economy, crowdfunding dynamics, or maker communities (e.g., tabletop gaming, indie tech, film, design) is a strong plus.
