Develop a Japanese community growth strategy targeting MMO players, guild leaders, and content creators
Identify, reach out to, and build relationships with Japanese YouTubers, streamers, and content creators who cover MMOs, pixel art games, or cozy games

Requirements

What you’ll need

Native-level Japanese (reading, writing, speaking). Non-negotiable. You're writing community posts, responding to players, and negotiating with creators in Japanese
Fluent English (professional working proficiency minimum). You need to communicate clearly with the UK-based team
Deep personal experience with MMOs. You've played them seriously. You understand why people stay in these games for years
Understanding of the Japanese gaming content creator landscape: who the major gaming YouTubers are, how VTubers fit in, which streamers cover MMOs vs. action games
Experience with Japanese online communities (Discord JP servers, Twitter JP gaming community, Niconico, 5ch gaming boards)
Knowledge of Japanese guild culture in MMOs (how JP FCs/LSes/guilds recruit, organise, and communicate differently from Western guilds)
Self-starter. You see an opportunity to promote Soulbound to a JP audience and you act on it before anyone asks
Bonus Points
Previous community management experience at a game studio (especially for a Western game launching in Japan)
Existing relationships with Japanese gaming content creators
Understanding of Japan's content creator agency landscape
Played FFXIV, PSO2, Dragon Quest X, or other JP-heavy MMOs extensively
