**THIS IS A CANADA-BASED REMOTE ROLE (PREFERENCE GIVEN TO ATLANTIC CANADA)\*\***

Jestr is looking for a full time Community Lead to become the heart of our creator community.

We’re building the fastest-growing creator marketplace in gaming, helping game studios work with short-form content creators across TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. In under a year, we’ve paid out over $4,000,000 USD to creators, generated over 1.5 billion views for games, and partnered with hundreds of studios ranging from indie developers all the way to AAA publishers.

As we've grown, so has our community. Over 2500 creators now use Jestr to make content creation more sustainable, our Discord sees thousands of messages every day, and we're constantly launching new workshops, hosting events, and finding new ways to bring creators together.

We're looking for someone who genuinely loves talking to people and helping creators succeed. More than anything, we're looking for someone who gets startup life. We're a bootstrapped team of recent grads and young professionals, everyone wears multiple hats, and things move incredibly fast. There are always new challenges to tackle and new opportunities to build something better.

You’ll work directly alongside the founders to shape how thousands of creators experience Jestr every day. From the conversations happening in Discord, to the events we host, to the way we communicate online, everything you do will have a meaningful impact on the future of our creator community. If you're hungry and excited by ownership, this role is designed to grow alongside both you and the company.

If you feel like this sounds like your kind of environment, please send us an email with your resume and a bit about yourself.
