Pickford is building the next generation of AI-driven interactive storytelling.

We’re growing quickly and preparing to launch our interactive entertainment platform into closed beta and we need an experienced Community Manager to lead the way.

What You’ll Do:

1. Act as the public voice of the Pickford community, recruiting and onboarding highly motivated early users into our closed beta via Discord, Twitch, Reddit, and other online communities.
2. Moderate, energize, and grow our private Discord community, turning users into fans by creating a vibrant, welcoming environment.
3. Organize and host weekly live screenings and feedback sessions, capturing valuable user insights and sentiment.
4. Regularly summarize and communicate key user feedback, bugs, and feature requests to our product and development teams to help shape product direction.
5. Proactively reach out to Twitch streamers, subreddit communities, and gaming groups to expand our user base and generate excitement for Pickford.
6. Collaborate closely with our internal team, providing community-driven recommendations that directly impact the direction and development of our product.

Who We’re Looking For:

1. 2-5 years of professional experience managing online communities, ideally within gaming, entertainment, or technology environments.
2. A proven ability to engage communities, foster positive interaction, and drive active participation across platforms like Discord, Twitch, or Reddit.
3. Excellent written and verbal communication skills—you can distill complex user feedback into actionable insights.
4. Organized, proactive, self-driven, and comfortable with fast-paced startup environments.

Bonus Points:

1. Local to Los Angeles area (though fully remote is fine!)
2. Experience running beta testing groups or online playtesting communities.
3. Familiarity with analytics tools (Mixpanel, Amplitude, Google Analytics) to track engagement, retention, and user behaviors.
4. Genuine passion for storytelling, AI, games, or interactive experiences.

– $30-$40/hour, approximately 20 hours/week initially.
