We have an exciting opportunity to join the Fellow Traveller marketing team in a newly created role of Community Manager.
As a boutique label with a very specific curatorial vision, we are not focused on reaching the masses but on championing video games as a storytelling medium, helping connect developers exploring this aspect of games with players who love narrative-driven experiences.
Two of our most important goals are to foster and delight this audience, and to earn a reputation of publishing high quality and remarkable story-rich games.
The Community Manager is a new role at Fellow Traveller dedicated to these two goals. It brings together some existing areas of responsibility that were previously managed by our PR agency and various members of the team, and also represents an overall increase in the investment in this area.
The role will take responsibility for managing and evolving our existing community engagement programs, with a particular focus on
our events (The Story Rich Showcase and LudoNarraCon), and
our website, blog, and email newsletter, which we are in the process of overhauling.
The role will also be responsible for our social media channels and Discord server but these will be relatively minor elements within the role initially.
Whilst taking the lead on brand-focused activity, this role will also support the game marketing team to utilise our owned channels within our game marketing campaigns.
Success in the role will look like…
We have a growing community of highly engaged fans
The processes around our community channels are well understood by the rest of the team and are typically smooth and painless
We are innovating and constantly evolving and improving our brand marketing
Our events run smoothly and exceed their objectives, everyone involved is delighted with the experience
How to Apply
Further information on the role is below.
If you’re excited about this role and think you’d be a great fit, we’d love to hear from you! Submit your application including your resume and a brief cover letter outlining your experience and interest in the role.
IMPORTANT - we are a no-AI company and you should not use AI tools for any part of your application.
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis and we encourage you to apply before 11:59pm Australian Eastern Daylight Time on Wednesday 18 November 2026 . Applications received after this date will still be reviewed but will be at a time disadvantage in the later stages of the recruitment process.
