Founded in 1998, OpenKyber has grown with our customers needs into a full-service business solutions provider. With delivery centers and offices across North America and India, we take pride in building long-term relationships and delivering excellence through innovation, collaboration, and integrity.

Job Description:

We are seeking a Social Media Executive & Developer Social to support how Mojang Studios executives and developers show up on social media. This role is responsible for helping leaders across the studio engage with the Minecraft community and the broader games industry in ways that feel authentic, thoughtful, and community oriented. The focus of this role is not corporate channel management or broadcast marketing. Instead, it is about enabling real people inside Mojang, executives and developers, to participate meaningfully in social conversations, share perspectives and progress, and build trust with players, creators, and peers.

The role will report directly to the Director, Social & Influencer and partner closely with Marketing, Communications/PR, Community, Game Development teams, and Mojang's Global Leadership Team. Together, you will ensure individual social activity supports broader franchise moments, cultural conversations, and developer storytelling while still preserving each leader's or developer's authentic voice. This role requires strong editorial judgment, familiarity with developer culture and gaming communities, and comfort working with senior leaders.

You must be able to balance authenticity with brand safety, and understand that success is measured by trust, connection, and credibility; not volume or reach alone.

Top 3 Hard Skills Required + Years of Experience

• Minimum 5+ years' experience of exceptional knowledge of social platforms and online communities, including how conversations form, evolve, and spread across platforms such as X, LinkedIn, Instagram, and community driven spaces.
• Minimum 5+ years' experience with strong social copywriting skills, with the ability to write and edit in the voice of different individuals and adapt tone appropriately for executives, developers, and community audiences.
• Minimum 5+ years' experience with ability to interpret engagement, sentiment, and community feedback in a qualitative and contextual way, using insights to inform recommendations, best practices, and ongoing improvement (deep performance marketing or growth optimization expertise is not required).

A creative portfolio or previous samples of social media communications for executives and developers are nice to see.
