About HeyGen

At HeyGen, our mission is to make visual storytelling accessible to all. Over the last decade, visual content has become the preferred method of information creation, consumption, and retention. But the ability to create such content, in particular videos, continues to be costly and challenging to scale. Our ambition is to build technology that equips more people with the power to reach, captivate, and inspire audiences. Learn more at www.heygen.com. Visit our Mission and Culture doc here.

• Support a safe, inclusive, and constructive environment

Amplify your community

• Highlight great work from users and share their stories
• Encourage members to create and share content
• Help identify and grow community advocates

Close the feedback loop

• Listen closely to what the community is saying
• Spot trends, insights, and opportunities
• Share learnings with product and marketing teams
• Continuously improve how we engage

What we’re looking for

• 3+ year experience managing Discord and/or Reddit communities
• A strong sense of what makes people engage and participate
• Strong track record of end-to-end community projects
• Comfortable being active in online communities and internet culture
• Clear, thoughtful communication skills
• Able to balance creativity with execution
• Proactive and self-directed

Nice to have

• Experience with AI, creator tools, or video platforms
• Familiarity with HeyGen or similar products
• Basic design skills (Canva, Figma, etc.)
• Experience running community campaigns or events
• Experience with Developer communities

What success looks like

• A Discord community that feels active, welcoming, and engaging
• A Reddit presence that adds value and builds trust
• Online spaces where both new creators and power users can find value
