Community Outreach Specialist : WPT Global

Description

About WPT Global

Since WPT’s inaugural high-stakes televised poker games in 2003, the brand has symbolised poker prominence. Transitioning from its renowned live events, WPT Global now pioneers an avant-garde online platform, redefining how players and fans experience poker worldwide.

Our team blends Silicon Valley innovators, data virtuosos, gaming connoisseurs — all united by a shared mission: to craft a poker experience as exhilarating to spectate as it is to play, regardless of skill level.

The Role

We are seeking a proactive and culturally attuned Community Outreach Specialist to help us build authentic connections within key online communities across the LATAM region.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives on digital engagement, understands local nuances across Latin America, and knows where online audiences gather — particularly in regions where traditional advertising avenues may be limited or restricted.

Because WPT Global is rooted in poker, a deep understanding of poker gameplay, community culture, and player motivations is essential. Candidates must have either worked for an online poker company or played more than 500,000 hands of online poker.

You’ll act as the bridge between WPT Global and LATAM poker communities, ensuring our presence is credible, culturally relevant, and engaging across Spanish-speaking markets.

Requirements

• Proven experience in community management, digital outreach, social media coordination, or similar roles.

• Deep understanding of online culture and digital ecosystems in the LATAM region.
• Fluent in Spanish and English (written and spoken).
• Strong knowledge of poker, including terminology, player mindset, and community dynamics.
• Experience with online poker, either by having worked for an online poker operator or by having played over 500,000 hands of online poker.
• Comfortable negotiating access and building rapport with community moderators/admins.
• Highly organised with strong communication skills.
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple outreach tracks simultaneously.
• Familiarity with LATAM digital trends and sensitivities around gaming/gambling is a plus.

Key Responsibilities

• Identify and research online communities (Facebook groups, forums, Reddit threads, poker clubs, WhatsApp/Telegram groups, niche platforms) where LATAM audiences are active.
• Engage with community moderators and admins to understand posting rules, build rapport, and gain permission for content sharing or poker-related promotions.
• Coordinate localised community engagement strategies aligned with brand and compliance requirements.
• Collaborate with internal teams to tailor poker-related messaging for cultural and regional relevance.
• Monitor sentiment, discussions, and community activity to support future outreach strategies.
• Report on outreach results, opportunities, and challenges across LATAM markets.
