Job description

Invisible Narratives, the first-of-its-kind tra-digital studio, is looking for a Community Manager to help scale a 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 โ€” with an equal focus on engagement, creator support, and operational oversight.

Who Weโ€™re Looking For

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

Youโ€™ll work across fan communities, creator networks, and YouTube channels โ€” helping grow engagement, enforce best practices, and translate insights into action. This isnโ€™t a community job in name only โ€” youโ€™ll be at the center of how our IP lives, evolves, and scales.

What Youโ€™ll Do

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

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

  • Manage relationships with our alliance network of creators โ€” 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 โ€” 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

  • 2โ€“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

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