How you will make an impact: • Support executives and developers in maintaining an active and authentic presence on social media platforms including X, LinkedIn, Instagram, and other relevant community channels. • Draft, edit, and refine social media posts in the voice of studio leaders and developers, ensuring content reflects their personality while aligning with studio tone, values, and community standards. • Develop creative content ideas that highlight developer insights, creative processes, leadership perspectives, and behind-the-scenes stories that bring fans closer to the people behind the games. • Coordinate posting cadence and social strategy for individual accounts, balancing planned messaging with real-time participation in relevant conversations. • Monitor engagement and community discussions to surface meaningful feedback, sentiment, and insights for executives, developers, and internal stakeholders. • Collaborate with marketing, communications/PR, community, and game development teams to align social activity with major announcements, franchise moments, and cultural conversations. • Provide guidance to leaders and developers on community interactions and responses while maintaining professionalism, discretion, and brand safety. • Contribute to qualitative reporting and insights that help inform ongoing social media best practices and strategy improvements. The expertise you bring: • 5+ years of experience supporting social media presence for high-visibility individuals, organizations, or teams. • Bachelor's degree in communications, marketing, journalism, or a related field. • Strong familiarity with major social platforms and how conversations develop across digital communities. • Experience drafting and managing social content for executives, developers, creators, or community-facing leaders. • Ability to interpret engagement trends, sentiment, and community feedback and translate insights into recommendations. • Proven ability to influence without authority when working with senior leaders and cross-functional partners. • Experience with social media analytics tools such as Sprinklr or native platform analytics is preferred. • Ability to collaborate effectively across marketing, communications, community, and product development teams. What makes a candidate highly successful in this role: Candidates who thrive in this role bring a strong understanding of gaming culture and developer communities, along with experience supporting executive or developer social media presence at a large organization or communications agency. They combine creativity with data-informed thinking and demonstrate the ability to balance authentic storytelling with responsible brand stewardship. Successful candidates are self-starters who stay on top of social trends, understand reputation management within digital communities, and are comfortable collaborating with senior leaders. Experience working with major gaming brands or high-volume social media channels in the gaming industry is highly valued, as is familiarity with Minecraft and the broader developer ecosystem.
