Soulbound is a fully interactive livestreaming and entertainment platform for web3 gaming with an in-stream prediction market.

📋 Description

• Build and manage a dedicated Japanese channels on our Discord server from scratch, including channel structure, roles, bots, and moderation • Develop a Japanese community growth strategy targeting MMO players, guild leaders, and content creators • Identify, reach out to, and build relationships with Japanese YouTubers, streamers, and content creators who cover MMOs, pixel art games, or cozy games • Engage with Japanese gaming communities on platforms like Twitter/X (JP gaming Twitter is massive), Niconico, YouTube, and 5ch/game forums • Work with Japanese MMO guilds to bring organised groups into Soulbound. Understand how JP guild culture differs from Western guild culture and leverage that • Localise community announcements, patch notes, and event communications. Not machine translation. Native-level writing that feels right to a Japanese audience • Run community events tailored to Japanese player culture (housing contests, guild showcases, seasonal events that resonate locally) • Prepare weekly reports on Japanese community sentiment, growth metrics, content creator pipeline, and cultural insights the team should know about • Act as the cultural advisor to the wider team on anything related: what resonates, what doesn't, how to avoid missteps • Coordinate with our Community Director on cross-community events and consistent messaging

🎯 Requirements

• Native-level Japanese (reading, writing, speaking). Non-negotiable. You're writing community posts, responding to players, and negotiating with creators in Japanese • Fluent English (professional working proficiency minimum). You need to communicate clearly with the UK-based team • Deep personal experience with MMOs. You've played them seriously. You understand why people stay in these games for years • Understanding of the Japanese gaming content creator landscape: who the major gaming YouTubers are, how VTubers fit in, which streamers cover MMOs vs. action games • Experience with Japanese online communities (Discord JP servers, Twitter JP gaming community, Niconico, 5ch gaming boards) • Knowledge of Japanese guild culture in MMOs (how JP FCs/LSes/guilds recruit, organise, and communicate differently from Western guilds) • Self-starter. You see an opportunity to promote Soulbound to a JP audience and you act on it before anyone asks • Bonus Points • Previous community management experience at a game studio (especially for a Western game launching in Japan) • Existing relationships with Japanese gaming content creators • Understanding of Japan's content creator agency landscape • Played FFXIV, PSO2, Dragon Quest X, or other JP-heavy MMOs extensively • Can create short-form video content in Japanese • Experience localising gaming content (not just translation, actual cultural localisation)
