About HeyGen
At HeyGen, our mission is to make visual storytelling accessible to all. Over the last decade, visual content has become the preferred method of information creation, consumption, and retention. But the ability to create such content, in particular videos, continues to be costly and challenging to scale. Our ambition is to build technology that equips more people with the power to reach, captivate, and inspire audiences.

Nice to have

- Experience running community campaigns or events
- Experience with Developer communities
What success looks like
- A Discord community that feels active, welcoming, and engaging
