Job description

Invisible Narratives, the first-of-its-kind tra-digital studio, is looking for a Community Manager to help scalea fast-growing slate of creator-led IP. This is a hands-on, front-facing role embedded in the heart of fandoms, creator networks, and YouTube ecosystems — with an equal focus on engagement, creator support, and operational oversight.

Who We’re Looking For

You’re part community lead, part YouTube strategist, part brand steward. You’ve worked at an indie game studio, animation collective, or startup where creators, fans, and channels were part of a single living ecosystem. You’re comfortable being a visible voice for the brand — hosting AMAs, answering lore questions, and managing creator relationships — but you also know how to use the backend: CMS, metadata, analytics, and compliance workflows.

You’ll work across fan communities, creator networks, and YouTube channels — helping grow engagement, enforce best practices, and translate insights into action. This isn’t a community job in name only — you’ll be at the center of how our IP lives, evolves, and scales.

What You’ll Do

• Actively engage across Discord, YouTube, X, Reddit, and other community platforms

• Be a visible, trusted voice in the community — leading AMAs, town halls, and fan-facing updates

• Manage relationships with our alliance network of creators — from indie animators to UGC developers

• Collaborate with the marketing and content teams on YouTube rollouts and go-to-market strategies

• Manage YouTube CMS tasks, including metadata updates, channel structure, playlisting, and end-screen/post optimization

• Monitor compliance and brand alignment across partner channels — ensuring creators follow usage guidelines, brand safety requirements, and content obligations

• Track and report analytics from both fan communities and YouTube channels, surfacing trends, feedback, and red flags

• Coordinate with external agencies and internal teams to align messaging and strategy

• Contribute to content planning, surprise community drops, and fan-facing events

What You Need

• 2–4 years experience in community management, YouTube operations, or digital marketing

• Strong working knowledge of YouTube CMS, channel structure, metadata optimization, and platform policies

• Experience working with creator networks or digital IP (animation, gaming, or UGC platforms preferred)

• Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to manage both fan expectations and creator relationships

• Familiarity with Discord, Reddit, and social ecosystems where fan and creator communities thrive

• Excellent written communication and real-time engagement instincts

• Proficiency in basic analytics/reporting tools (YouTube Studio, Discord admin, or social dashboards)

• Bonus: light design or motion skills for community content or channel assets

You’ll be the connective tissue between the studio, creators, and fans — helping us build something bigger than just a show or a game. If you’ve lived in the trenches of internet fandoms and creator platforms, we want you in ours.
