  • Develop an understanding of all communities within the product
  • Begin to build relationships and create a presence within the app and other channels
  • Set up best practices for our multiple Discord servers
  • Identify players who could volunteer to support you in our various communities
  • Attend weekly product meetings to advocate for players and their feature wish lists

  • Have identified and built strong relationships with top crews and their members

  • Contribute to company KPIs & OKRs through an increase in community engagement and sentiment
