Key Responsibilities
AI Vibe Coding
The Growth Manager uses Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools to build ops automations, Discord bots, event landings, and data dashboards directly. You're not just running ops, you ship the tools you need as code, scale your leverage, and contribute across the whole product.
- Build the web pages and automations campaigns, events, and community operations need, with AI coding tools.
- Lead with sharp ops craft, and contribute across the whole product in code.
The Growth Manager at DOR directly moves the full community cycle, from acquisition to engagement, retention, and virality.
DOR is building more than a simple video tool -- it's creating a community where gamers share their moments, react to each other, and build relationships.
The Growth Manager works across gaming communities, Discord, social media, partnerships, and the offline floor, at the closest touchpoints with users, to build the growth loop from discovery to sign-up, engagement, retention, and virality.
Acquisition & Virality
- Plan and execute community, viral, and partnership actions that drive new user acquisition.
- Reach and spread DOR across channels such as gaming communities, partner brands, and offline venues.
- Design viral campaigns, challenges, and events that create organic installs and shares.
- Partner with pro gamers, streamers, and creators to create leverage for early expansion.
Community Operations & Retention
- Set the tone and engage directly at user touchpoints, Discord, in-app community, and social media.
- Discover and build relationships with early creators, power users, and core users.
- Design operational programs and experiments that drive more frequent participation and reactions.
- Run experiments that lift engagement and return visit rate, comments, reactions, follows, shares.
- Collect user VOC and share with the product team to drive real product improvements.
Partnerships, Offline, and Sales
- Pitch and run partnerships with game studios, esports teams, and creator groups.
- Show up at tournaments, game shows, and community events, meet users and spread the brand on the floor.
- Source sales, sponsorship, and collaboration opportunities and reach out directly.
Execute, Measure, Improve
- Organize execution results with data and feed them straight into the next experiment.
- Iteratively improve operations based on operational data and user feedback.
- Leverage AI tools to handle operations, content, and automation directly, and ship faster.
Key Challenges in This Role
This role is looking for someone who creates acquisition and atmosphere at the same time, not just someone who manages operations.
- Finding the channels and methods that let gamers discover DOR for the first time
- Understanding why users leave after one use and why some stay
- How to create and maintain good creators and a healthy community atmosphere
- Connecting virality with community operations to produce organic spread
- Ensuring operations don't end at simple support but lead to actual product growth
- Converting tool users into community users
What You'll Build
Acquisition Channels & Viral Loops
- Design and execute the point where gamers first discover DOR.
- Stitch together communities, partners, and the offline floor into organic acquisition and viral loops.
Community and Creator Ecosystem
- Build a space where gamers share their gameplay and receive reactions.
- Build a healthy ecosystem centered around early core users and creators.
- Help users who create great videos to create more often and get better engagement.
User Communication & Retention
- Be the fastest to hear user feedback and the closest to respond.
- Design the structures that produce return visits and re-engagement.
- Translate operational insight into product improvements with the product team.
Metrics We Care About
Acquisition & Virality
- New installs / sign-ups
