Community Manager, Amazon Games Studios (m/F), Germany

Job summary
At Amazon, we believe the evolution that began with arcade communities a quarter at a time, growing to the massively shared live streams and online experiences of today, will continue to a future where everyone is a gamer, and every gamer can create, compete, collaborate and connect with others at massive scales. If you share our belief that games will produce some of the future’s most influential voices in media and art, come join us!

Amazon Games is seeking an experienced Community Manager to lead and work on the community development efforts for all of our games in Germany. You’ll level up the definition of delivering great engagement, effective programs, compelling content and exceptional experiences to our players, all customized to local needs.

As Community Manager you will need to be a creative and analytical thinker with deep experience and proven achievements. We expect you to build authentic and meaningful relationships between our games and player communities. You’ll develop and oversee our engagement plans, online and eventually real-world events, and our editorial direction on the web and in social media within your region. You’ll foster strong relationships with a network of community members such as content creators, fan artists, and cosplayers, and you will be determined to support them in achieving their goals. You will create and execute comprehensive plans, lead by example, and bring a fresh perspective to the table that make everyone around you better.

Starting as an individual contributor, the Community Manager will rely on external agencies for scalability in the short term. As our game communities reach critical mass, you will then be responsible for building the community team for Germany. From then on you will be coaching your team in thinking big and creatively on how to deliver exceptional player experiences, uniquely tailored to local needs. At the same time, you will sync our community plans to Amazon Games’ larger strategic goals.

· · Lead our efforts to build a healthy, 2-way conversation between Amazon Games and the German player community for each game, at events, in the forums, on social media and Twitch
· · Deliver data-informed reporting to game teams, to make the German community voice heard
· Help the local community understand the game team’s perspective
· Oversee and support the localization process of our editorial pipeline for web and social media, reviewing final copy and eventually creating and curating German content
· Work at European events together with the rest of the EU team to deliver exceptional player experiences
· Coordinate effectively with our internal studios, external partners, and the rest of community, marketing, game, finance and legal teams
· Ensure clear communication and coordination across relevant teams
