The project
Equinox is a Paris based games studio that is developing an ambitious and cutting-edge Tabletop trading card game (same genre as Magic : The Gathering or Flesh & Blood). The driving force behind this project is Régis Bonnessée, former founder and CEO of Libellud, the publishing studio that produced Dixit, Mysterium, Seasons and many others.

Equinox's mindset
At Equinox, we base our work and our organization on strong humanistic values which we strive to apply on a daily basis. People are at the heart of our project, and we give everyone the means to work autonomously. Our vision of the world is optimistic and we aim to surpass ourselves every day in order to reach a common goal, while looking out for each other.

Disclaimer : the game we are developing is not a video game, it's played over a table, but we believe the target audience is very close to the video game audience with many overlaps. It will both speak to Magic the gathering / Pokemon / Yu-Gi-Ho fans as well as Hearthstone, Legends of Runeterra or Magic Arena gamers.

As Community Manager at Equinox, you will work closely with our Chief Marketing Officer.

Your main missions will be on the following topics :

• Build up and engage a community around our upcoming license.

• Cover behind the scenes insights into the development cycle and event attendance, on our social media platforms.
  

ABOVE ALL ELSE - you need to build a close relationship with potential players, understand the expectations of these communities, and have a genuine desire to be immersed and interact with our future player base. A strategic audience oversight and true 360° perspective of the project is required.

Growth opportunities - Once the game is launched and growing, this position may evolve swiftly into a more strategic role, requiring the planning, hiring, training and management of a team responsible for specific global territories.
