• Collaborate with Product, Engineering, and Developer Advocacy teams to ensure community feedback is systematically captured and actioned. 
• Monitor and report on community sentiment, ecosystem health, and key developer relations metrics to leadership. 
• Coordinate with the Community Management team to ensure alignment on messaging and community strategy. 

• 8+ years of professional experience in developer relations, creator success, partner management, or a related field within the technology or video game industries. 
• Experience standing up or maturing developer-/creator-facing programs with identifiable and actionable outcomes.  
• Strong understanding of creator platforms, UGC products, developer tools, marketplaces, digital economies, or live-service game products.  
• Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to navigate complex stakeholder relationships and find practical solutions. 
• Proven leadership and people management skills, with the ability to coach, motivate, and develop team members. 
• Ability to translate community insights into actionable insights and recommendations.
