As we prepare for a global launch, we are looking for a Community & Social Media Manager to help us grow an active community around consumer technology, cameras, wearables, creators, and first-person storytelling.

This is not just a content-scheduling position. You will participate in real conversations, build relationships with early supporters, answer product questions, collect useful feedback, and help shape how people discover and understand 8ight.

• Manage and grow our presence across platforms such as Reddit, Discord, LinkedIn, X, Instagram, Facebook Groups, and YouTube
• Find relevant communities and conversations where 8ight can participate naturally and provide value
• Respond to questions, comments, feedback, and criticism clearly and professionally
• Turn product updates, technical information, development progress, and use cases into engaging community content
• Build and maintain a practical social media and community calendar
• Create discussions that appeal to creators, camera enthusiasts, travelers, athletes, technology enthusiasts, and early adopters
• Moderate our owned communities and maintain a positive, useful environment
• Identify potential ambassadors, creators, testers, partners, and highly engaged supporters
• Support product announcements, AMAs, livestreams, crowdfunding activity, and launch campaigns
• Monitor sentiment, recurring questions, objections, and product feedback
• Report weekly on community growth, engagement, feedback, and opportunities

• At least 2 years of professional experience in community management, social media, digital marketing, or a related role
• Strong written and spoken English
• Experience managing at least two relevant social or community platforms
• Strong understanding of how communication should differ across platforms such as Reddit, Discord, LinkedIn, and Instagram
• Interest in consumer electronics, cameras, wearables, gaming hardware, mobile devices, creator technology, or similar products
• Ability to understand technical information and explain it clearly without exaggerating claims
• Good judgment when responding to criticism, misinformation, conflict, or sensitive questions
• Strong organization and the ability to work independently in a remote environment
• A proactive mindset and the ability to suggest ideas rather than waiting for daily instructions
• Availability to work full-time with regular overlap during GMT+8 business hours

• Experience with a consumer-electronics, hardware, camera, wearable, gaming, or mobile-technology brand
• Experience supporting a Kickstarter or other crowdfunding campaign
• Experience with creator, influencer, ambassador, or UGC outreach
• Experience growing an early-stage community from a small starting point
• Strong practical knowledge of Reddit and Discord
• Basic content-production skills using Canva, CapCut, Adobe tools, or similar software
• Familiarity with community analytics, social listening, UTMs, referral tracking, and reporting
• Personal interest in photography, videography, action cameras, travel, sports, or creator technology

During your first three months, you should be able to:

• Develop a strong understanding of 8ight, our product, our audience, and our communication style
• Establish a reliable publishing, engagement, and reporting rhythm
• Identify the communities and audience segments most relevant to the product
• Improve the quality and speed of our responses to followers and potential users
• Generate useful product and messaging insights from community conversations
• Help grow genuinely engaged followers, community members, website visitors, and early supporters

We care more about building the right audience than inflating vanity metrics.

• Join an international consumer-hardware project before its global launch
• Help shape the voice and culture of a new community from an early stage
• Work directly with the people building the product
• Take meaningful ownership rather than operating only as a posting assistant
• Gain experience across community building, social media, product marketing, creator relations, and hardware launches
• Grow with the role as the product and community expand
