We're building the biggest digital board game platform on the internet. Last year, our players spent 3,037 years playing 60 million games on our Settlers of Catan alternative. We're a fully remote, asynchronous team spread across multiple continents, focused on crafting extremely polished digital board games that people truly love.

As Community Manager at Colonist, you are the voice, pulse, and connector of a fast-growing global gaming community. Your mission is to build lasting relationships, keep the community thriving across Discord and beyond, run live tournaments, and turn passionate players into lifelong advocates. You won't just manage a community, you'll shape the culture of one of the most active board game platforms on the internet.

Write and publish all community content (patch notes, newsletters, announcements) on-brand and on time

Run weekly tournaments and competitive seasons: scheduling, brackets, real-time moderation, results

Build direct relationships with top players, streamers, and creators

Report weekly on community sentiment: what players love, hate, and want, pulled from Discord, Reddit, and social

Create onboarding content for new players: welcome flows, beginner guides, FAQs

Manage the referral program: track metrics, improve mechanics, coordinate with marketing

Produce posts, graphics (Canva), and short-form videos (CapCut)

A gamer who plays board games and understands online communities first-hand

A Discord expert: bots, permissions, server structure, moderation

A strong English writer: clear, warm, consistent across every channel

Organised: you manage competing priorities without missing deadlines

Empathetic: you understand players deeply and resolve conflicts calmly

Data-literate: you track metrics and turn community signals into actionable reports

Self-directed: you work async and deliver without hand-holding

Available on weekends for tournaments and live events

You know Catan or have played on Colonist

You speak Spanish, Portuguese, or German

You have video editing skills (CapCut or similar)

We strongly adhere to these values in our team - if these resonate, then you'll love working here!

Dependability: We're self-driven players who deliver without needing supervision. When we commit to something, we make it happen.

Ownership: We take full responsibility and go beyond our roles to improve Colonist.

Clear Communication: In our remote environment, written communication is key. We're direct, structured, and always keep our team in the loop.

Efficient Execution: We move fast and focus on impact. Instead of getting stuck on perfect solutions, we find practical ways forward and get things done.

Continuous Learning: We're curious problem solvers who love a challenge. We constantly seek new ideas, embrace feedback, and aren't afraid to change our minds when we're wrong.
