• Run weekly tournaments and competitive seasons: scheduling, brackets, real-time moderation, results
• Build direct relationships with top players, streamers, and creators
• Report weekly on community sentiment: what players love, hate, and want — pulled from Discord, Reddit, and social
• Create onboarding content for new players: welcome flows, beginner guides, FAQs
• Manage the referral program: track metrics, improve mechanics, coordinate with marketing
• Produce posts, graphics (Canva), and short-form videos (CapCut)
