Community Manager
Description
It’s a really exciting time to be at Space Ape Games. We’ve created a fast-paced environment that promotes genuine autonomy and we have projects at all stages of the development cycle. We launched our hit music game, Beatstar, in 2021 and we’re following its success with Countrystar less than two years later. We also officially launched our first puzzle game in July, Chrome Valley Customs, and we’re preparing to scale this game to global success. On top of all this, we’re running several mature live games and working on some exciting new projects behind the scenes!
In this role, you’ll be required to wear many hats! Your primary focus will be to engage & communicate with our Transformers: Earth Wars community on Discord, assist in creating our weekly Newsletter which is distributed to hundreds of thousands of players on a weekly basis and assist in sensitive cases that have been escalated by our Support team.
You will act as one of the advocates for the players, sharing and providing insights to the Community Team on a regular basis.
About You
You’re a natural when it comes to chatting online. Communities in all shapes and sizes are what keep you enthusiastic and assisting in managing Discord servers is nothing new to you.

You’ve always felt that you have a calming effect on people and are able to switch easily between having blissful fun and talking seriously to agitated people.
