Description of the internship

To support this pivotal phase, we are looking for a Community Manager Intern who wants intensive, hands-on experience building and nurturing a game community from the ground up, with an independent, "do-or-die" mindset.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Set up, animate, and grow our player community ahead and during our major launch.
• Participate in the daily, proactive management of our Discord, forums, and social channels.
• Engage deeply with players: answer questions, relay feedback, encourage discussion, and maintain a positive, independent tone that reflects our studio culture.
• Assist with the creation of compelling content: announcements, patch notes, dev updates, FAQs, and event posts.
• Help moderate discussions and ensure community rules are respected, fostering a positive, engaging environment.
• Collect and summarize critical community feedback to share directly with the development team, influencing the final product.
• Support major launch beats (announcement, demo, festivals, updates) from a strategic community perspective.
