Zovian is a gaming hub for players and developers. We’re looking for a part-time Community Manager on a contract basis to help build our online presence and player community from the ground up.

We believe the community should be part of our process from the beginning. We want to build what people actually expect, rather than ship our best guess and patch it later. Building our community is the first step.

This is a remote, part-time contract role paid via a weekly flat rate. Expect regular check-ins and goal reviews, but otherwise you self-direct. Because of that autonomy, we need someone who has done this kind of work before. There’s room for the scope of this role to grow as the platform develops.

What you’d be doing

• Building and running the Zovian Discord from scratch, including structure, rules, and culture.
• Spending time in the communities where our future players already hang out. Reddit threads, Twitch chats, other Discord servers. We want to establish a presence and identity within these communities.
• Reaching out to creators, tournament organizers, and community figures who might connect with what we’re building
• Posting on Reddit, X, Facebook, and other platforms on behalf of Zovian.
• Collecting and sharing community moments worth putting in front of people
• Sending a short weekly rundown of what’s happening, what’s going well, and what might need to change.

Who we’re looking for

If you’ve done any of the following, we’d love to hear from you:

• You’ve built a Discord community from scratch and grown it to a few hundred active members or more
• You’ve introduced a brand or project to communities that didn’t know it yet, and know what gets a response and what gets ignored
• You’ve run a recurring tournament, event, or community program that people consistently showed up to

On top of that, we need someone who:

• Works independently and manages their own time from a high level goal or direction
• Is comfortable engaging with a wide range of gaming communities, even ones outside their own experience.
• Has dealt with community drama before and kept things from blowing out of control

Nice to have

• Existing relationships in gaming communities that would be relevant
• Experience with content creation, even casually
• Familiarity with GDQ, FGC, or other gaming subcultures

How to apply

Send us an email with a short note about which gaming communities you spend time in and one example of community work you’ve done. Be specific: what did you build, how big did it get, and how long did it take?

One thing to note: if you’re based in California, you’ll need to operate as a registered business entity to work with us.

We’re looking forward to hearing from you!
