    • Build and grow tester and early adopter communities that are fun, inclusive, and representative of our player segments.
    • Design and manage the Community feedback loops, rolling out a framework for effective communication flow.
    • Serve as a community insight leader, contributing expertise to help create the best game for our targeted players.
    • Regularly report on community engagement and health, deriving insights to improve our strategies and plans continually.
    • Actively engage on our community platforms to provide context for sentiment reporting.
    • Plan and execute community activities and content calendars.
    • Write community and social copy, and asset requirement brief for the marketing creative team.

Who you are

    • A practical and seasoned community strategy specialist with a minimum of 5 years of experience and participation in at least one major game launch.
    • Adept at developing gaming communities from the ground up and comfortable with managing communities on various platforms, such as Discord and Steam Forums.

    • An enthusiastic gamer who understands the community and enjoys the thrill of a AAA explosive action experience game.
    • A firm believer in collaboration and transparency, able to balance the feedback and needs of various stakeholders.
    • Able to juggle internal and external communications effectively, with proven experience working with multilevel stakeholders in multinational matrixed organizations.
    • Previous experience at an international games publisher or developer is required.
