Remote (Global) Full-time

Colonist is hiring a Community Manager

About the Role

As Community Manager at Colonist, you will be the voice, pulse, and connector for our fast-growing global gaming community. Your mission is to build lasting relationships, keep the community thriving across Discord and beyond, run live tournaments, and turn passionate players into lifelong advocates.

What You'll Do

  • Own Discord: moderate channels daily, enforce community rules, manage bots and roles.
  • Write and publish all community content (patch notes, newsletters, announcements) on-brand and on time.
  • Run weekly tournaments and competitive seasons: scheduling, brackets, real-time moderation, results.
  • Build direct relationships with top players, streamers, and creators.
  • Report weekly on community sentiment: what players love, hate, and want — pulled from Discord, Reddit, and social.
  • Create onboarding content for new players: welcome flows, beginner guides, FAQs.
  • Manage the referral program: track metrics, improve mechanics, coordinate with marketing.
  • Produce posts, graphics, and short-form videos for community channels.

What We're Looking For

  • A gamer who plays board games and understands online communities first-hand.
  • A Discord expert: bots, permissions, server structure, moderation.
  • A strong English writer: clear, warm, consistent across every channel.
  • Organised: you manage competing priorities without missing deadlines.
  • Empathetic: you resolve conflict calmly and fairly.
  • Data-literate: you track metrics and turn community signals into actionable reports.
  • Self-directed: you work async and deliver without hand-holding.
  • Available on weekends for tournaments and live events.

Nice to Have

  • You know Catan or have played on Colonist.
  • You speak Spanish, Portuguese, or German.
  • You have video editing skills (CapCut or similar).
  • You've grown or managed a gaming community before.

Technical Stack

  • Discord
  • Canva
  • CapCut

Benefits & Compensation

  • Compensation: $2,000 – $3,000 USD/month + equity (stock options).
  • Unlimited vacation.
  • Yearly team offsite.
  • Full work equipment.
  • Budget to experiment with any AI tool you want.
  • Access to all company metrics and internal discussions.
