• Coordinate with internal and external artists to develop Steam page assets that meet platform requirements and effectively communicate the game’s identity.
• Understand and support Steam specific opportunities such as wishlists, Steam Next Fest, demos, community hubs, curator outreach, reviews, and events.
• Monitor launch performance and use player feedback and platform data to recommend improvements to messaging, positioning, content, and the product experience.

• Develop and execute community strategies that build awareness, excitement, trust, and long-term engagement.
• Establish and manage communities across Steam, Discord, Reddit, social platforms, and other relevant channels.
• Identify emerging player concerns, sentiment shifts, and opportunities, and communicate actionable insights to internal teams.

• Write and publish developer blogs, Steam announcements, product updates, FAQs, social posts, and community spotlights.

• Partner with development teams to communicate known issues, fixes, roadmap changes, and updates transparently.
• Define and track community and launch KPIs, including Steam wishlists, follower growth, engagement, sentiment, content performance, Discord participation, and review trends.
• Prepare concise reports with recommendations for improving community health, launch readiness, and player engagement.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of experience in community management, product marketing, communications, or a related role within the gaming industry.
• Direct experience supporting at least one game launch on Steam.
• Demonstrated experience creating, launching, or managing a Steam store page and its associated content and visual assets.
• Strong understanding of the Steam ecosystem, including wishlists, demos, festivals, community hubs, reviews, announcements, and post-launch updates.
• Experience developing community and content strategies across multiple stages of a game’s lifecycle.
• Excellent writing and editing skills, with experience producing developer blogs, announcements, patch notes, social content, and player-facing updates.
• Experience briefing, sourcing, or coordinating art and video assets for Steam pages, social platforms, and community campaigns.
• Working knowledge of Discord, Reddit, Steam Community, and major social platforms.
• Able to analyze community sentiment and performance data and turn findings into clear recommendations.
• Calm, thoughtful, and professional when responding to criticism, conflict, launch issues, or unexpected changes.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Steamworks and Steam page asset requirements.
• Basic visual-content skills using tools such as Photoshop, Canva, Premiere, After Effects, or similar programs.
