[Hiring] Reddit Community Manager @OpenArt AI

Role Description

We’re looking for a Reddit Community & Growth Manager to take OpenArt’s Reddit presence from 0 to 100. This is not a role where you simply moderate a subreddit, schedule posts, and respond to comments. We want someone who can build a growth channel from scratch.

You’ll own Reddit end-to-end: our subreddit, our presence across relevant communities, content, experiments, community programs, organic distribution, user acquisition, and the feedback loop between Reddit and our product team. Your goal is simple: make OpenArt impossible to ignore on Reddit.

What You’ll Own

• Turn Reddit Into a Growth Channel
  • You’ll own the strategy, execution, and results for Reddit.
  • Build OpenArt’s Reddit presence from the ground up.
  • Grow our subreddit into an active community of AI creators.
  • Set ambitious weekly and monthly growth goals.
  • Run experiments across content, distribution, community programs, and acquisition.
  • Find repeatable ways to turn Reddit conversations into subreddit members, OpenArt users, and advocates.
  • Track what drives reach, engagement, community growth, traffic, and signups.
  • Double down quickly when something works and kill experiments that don’t.
• Build a Community People Actually Want to Join
  • Create recurring formats, challenges, showcases, discussions, AMAs, competitions, and community programs.
  • Find ways to get OpenArt users sharing their work and workflows organically.
  • Turn great community contributions into moments worth sharing.
  • Identify and support highly active members who can become long-term community advocates.
  • Develop systems that increase participation and retention as the subreddit grows.
  • Moderate the community without making it feel corporate.
• Win Beyond Our Own Subreddit
  • You’ll spend significant time understanding what people are already talking about across AI, video, filmmaking, design, advertising, and creator communities.
  • Find conversations where OpenArt can genuinely add value.
  • Participate as a real member of the Reddit community, not as a brand account dropping links.
  • Spot discussions, memes, formats, and topics before they become obvious.
  • Build relationships with moderators, creators, power users, and relevant communities.
  • Identify organic opportunities to introduce OpenArt without forcing the product into conversations.
  • Understand what earns attention on Reddit and what gets ignored.
• Experiment Constantly
  • There is no finished Reddit playbook for an AI company growing at our pace. We expect you to help write ours.
  • You might test a creator challenge one week, a new content format the next, an AMA after that, and then find something completely different that works better than all three.
  • We want someone who naturally asks: “What happens if we try this?” Then actually tries it.
  • You’ll be expected to generate ideas independently, launch experiments quickly, measure the results, and turn winning experiments into repeatable systems.
• Be Our Eyes and Ears on Reddit
  • You’ll constantly track:
    • What people are saying about OpenArt.
    • Why users love or dislike specific features.
    • Recurring complaints and feature requests.
    • What people say about competing AI products.
    • Which new AI tools, models, workflows, and use cases are gaining attention.
    • Changes in sentiment around OpenArt and the broader AI creative space.
  • You’ll turn this into clear, useful insights for our product, growth, and marketing teams.

Qualifications

• Understand Reddit deeply, including its culture, humor, communities, unwritten rules, and what Redditors immediately recognize as marketing.
• Have experience growing communities, audiences, social accounts, or organic acquisition channels.
• Think in terms of growth, not just content.
• Are highly experimental and comfortable trying ideas that might fail.
• Write excellent, natural English and know how to sound like a person rather than a corporate account.
• Understand generative AI and actively keep up with the space.
• Move quickly without needing constant direction.
• Take ownership when something isn’t working instead of waiting for someone else to fix it.
• Can go from an idea to execution without weeks of planning.
• Have a 0-to-100 mindset.

Requirements

• Have personally grown a subreddit or Reddit account.
• Have built an online community from zero.
• Have grown an organic channel with measurable traffic or user acquisition.
• Use or know about AI image or video creation tools.
• Understand Reddit search, Google search visibility, and how Reddit content gets found outside Reddit.
• Have worked with creators, ambassadors, affiliates, or UGC programs.
• Know how to analyze community and content performance.
• Can create simple memes, graphics, GIFs, or videos yourself.
• Use AI to move faster.

Benefits

• This is a high-ownership role at a fast-growing AI company in Silicon Valley.
• You’ll have room to build, test, fail, learn, and move quickly.
• You won’t be handed a rigid calendar and asked to execute someone else’s ideas.
• You’ll work directly with a team that ships constantly and expects marketing to move at the same speed.
• If you want a role where everything is already figured out, this probably isn’t it.
• If you like taking something at 0, figuring out what works, and taking it to 100, we want to hear from you.
