We9re hiring our founding Community Manager to design, test, and scale the programs that grow and engage our player base. You9ll be the expert on community-driven growth: driving core community programs, experimenting to learn what works and what the community needs most, and then scaling it with systems, automations, and our community squad. You9ll own our Discord and Creator Program (driven >1 billion views) as the heartbeat of Gym Class outside the game, keeping our community energized, engaged, and growing. If you thrive on building scalable processes out of scrappy experiments, love being in the trenches with players and creators, and want to shape how millions connect through Gym Class - this role is for you.

• Make Discord thrive: Increase active communicators, create eventful social moments, and ensure power users feel energized and connected.
• Empower creators: Recruit and partner with content creators, run events with them, and design programs that amplify their reach and impact. This program is mature and ready to take off further, garnering over 1 billion views across social platforms.
• Lead contractors & tools: Guide contracted community developers and a tools intern to scale programs, build automations, and run specialized initiatives.
• Build community like product: Treat community like a product surface - form hypotheses, test them, track KPIs, and double down on what works.
• Be the expert: Advise the whole team on how to build for and with our community, ensuring player needs inform product direction.
