Community Lead – theHunter: Call of the Wild

We’re looking for a Community Lead with a genuine passion for games to be the voice of the player for theHunter: Call of the Wild. In this role, you will own the player relationship end-to-end, acting as the bridge between our audience and the development team. You will balance strategic leadership with hands-on involvement; writing the strategy and then driving it forward alongside two Community Managers to ensure that our development and communication are informed by a deep, empathetic understanding of our community.

You’ll be stepping into a team that already has strong foundations, including an active Discord, Steam, Social, and Livestream presence. Your job is to mature and elevate these into a more strategically cohesive operation. You will be the senior advocate for a thriving community that has made theHunter a global phenomenon and a benchmark for the genre over the last decade.

The Position

This is a high-impact role for someone who is both a strategic thinker and a self-driven executor. You will lead a mature community ecosystem, combining high-level direction with daily execution to ensure the player’s voice is a natural part of our work and product evolution.

What you'll do

• Refine and execute the community strategy across Socials, Discord, Steam, and Reddit, ensuring a clear purpose and tone for each platform.
• Manage community operations, including line management of two Community Managers, budget oversight, and coordination with our Customer Support partner.
• Be the voice of the player by building frameworks to interpret player signals and translating them into actionable insights for Marketing and Dev, collaborating closely with our Insights team to gain a deeper understanding of player drives and motivators.
• Bridge the gap between players and production by owning feedback loops, closed playtests, and our player feedback platform, Avahub.
• Oversee authentic content and livestreaming, ensuring high-quality patch notes, Q&As, and articles in collaboration with the Campaign Manager.

Who you are

• You have extensive experience in community management within the gaming industry, including a proven track record in a senior or lead capacity (which we believe typically requires 6+ years of experience).
• You bring a proven track record from Premium Live games and a deep familiarity with Discord, Steam, and Reddit. You know exactly how different communities behave and how to adapt your approach - whether you're managing day-to-day engagement or running structured player programs like councils, betas, and ambassador programs.
• You are a proactive and self-driven leader with a high degree of empathy for player needs and a passion for advocacy.
• You are data-driven and communicative, with the ability to turn complex community sentiment into clear, influential narratives.
• You thrive in a flat organization where you are expected to both lead the strategy and stay hands-on with the day-to-day execution.

Note: Research shows under-represented groups in the industry might not apply to a job if they don’t check off every requirement. At Avalanche, we’re more about your drive to learn and interest in tackling challenges than what’s on your resume! So don’t stress if you don’t tick every box— shoot us your application anyway! Diverse opinions and different experiences are what make our teams so great, not itemized lists of qualifications.
