  • Track community performance, engagement metrics, and audience sentiment, translating findings into actionable insights and recommendations.
  • Support the strategy team with social listening, audience research, competitive analysis, and trend identification.
  • Contribute to brainstorms, campaign planning, strategy presentations, and reporting, bringing forward ideas informed by community insights and audience behaviours.
  • Stay up to date on platform changes, gaming culture, internet trends, and evolving community management best practices.

What You'll Bring:

  • 2+ years of experience in community management, social media, or a related digital marketing role, ideally within an agency environment.
  • A strong understanding of social media platforms, online communities, and how audiences engage with brands.
  • Excellent written communication skills, with the ability to write engaging, clever, and on-brand responses.
  • A natural ability to adapt your tone of voice across different brands, audiences, and platforms.
  • A genuine passion for internet culture, gaming, entertainment, fandom, and what's happening online.
  • An understanding of what makes fan-driven communities tick and how brands can participate in those spaces authentically.
  • Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple clients and communities at once.
  • Experience using social media management and listening tools such as Sprout Social, Hootsuite, Brandwatch, or similar platforms.
  • Good judgment when handling sensitive conversations, customer concerns, or potential brand issues.
