  •  Coach & Develop: Mentor and guide your team, fostering a performance-driven and accountable culture.
  •  Relationship Management: Build and nurture relationships with VIP community members, creators, and influencers.
  •  Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Product, Marketing, and Publishing to align community strategies with broader company objectives.
  •  Platform Oversight: Oversee in-app lobbies, chat channels, and app store reviews to ensure positive user interactions.
  •  User Insights & Reporting: Gather and analyze user feedback and KPIs, surfacing actionable insights for internal stakeholders to improve user experience and operations.
  •  Escalation & Incident Response: Act as lead point of contact during key moments—such as content launches or incident responses—escalating issues as needed.

Must Have

  • 3+ years in community management, operations, or digital support for games, tech platforms, or entertainment.
  • Proven leadership managing teams in community moderation and player support.
  • Experience with live service operations, escalation flows, and real-time responsiveness.
  • Strong background handling user safety, wellbeing, and sensitive online issues.
  • Familiarity with platforms and tools such as Zendesk, Community Sift, and analytics dashboards.
  • Deep understanding of gaming and social mobile apps, including iOS and Android troubleshooting.
  • Flexible availability to support a 24/7 team (primarily in Pacific Time, but with flexibility for the right candidate).
  • Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with younger user demographics in the gaming industry.
  • Prior experience scaling support teams during international expansion.
