Community & Social Media Manager
8ight is building camera-first smart glasses designed for natural, hands-free first-person capture.
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.
What you will do
- 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
What we are looking for
- 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
Nice to have
- 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
What success looks like
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.
Why join 8ight
- 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
