Head of Community & Events

You will own the TorqWars player community and our events: tournaments, leagues, racing events, and brand activations. You will grow a community of players who come back, compete, and bring their friends, and turn our events into a format we can run across every arena. In the first few months, you will run the events and community channels yourself and build the team as both grow.

The core responsibilities for the job include the following:

Community

• Build and manage the player community: how people discover us, sign up, play, return, and refer others.
• Run community channels such as WhatsApp groups, Instagram, and Discord.
• Build ambassador, creator, campus, and hobby-club programs.
• Create community content with the creative team: player stories, event recaps, creator features, leaderboards, and rivalries.

Events:

• Design event and tournament formats: rules, heats, scoring, and run of show.
• Manage production: staging, timing, sound, lights, and the safety plan.
• Source and brief vendors and the event crew, and lead on the day.
• Run a post-event review after every event and apply the learnings to the next one.

KPIs:

• Active returning players, new players per event, organic sign-ups without paid ads, events delivered on time and safely, and participant and spectator feedback.

Requirements:

• Experience across community management, field or experiential marketing, and live events.
• Senior candidates are welcome, and so are candidates with 3-5 years who have built and grown a community themselves.
• Proof of retention: repeat attendance, retention, or referral numbers, not just reach or impressions.
• Has owned events or event IPs end-to-end: budget, vendors, run-of-show, and on-ground management.
• Has built a program or format that kept running after you moved on.
• Willing to be on the ground at events, including evenings and weekends.
• Good to have: Motor sports, RC, karting, gaming, or esports. Campus and youth marketing. Sports or brand partnerships. Startup or founder experience.
