Community Engagement Manager - 9 Month FTC

The Position

Do you love engaging with players from around the world online? Do you have a knack for deciphering developers’ updates and turning them into bite-sized snippets of positivity? Do you enjoy growing, maintaining, and nurturing a community that’s free of harassment and unapologetic towards trolls? Let’s talk.
