The brand's channels are at the cutting edge of gaming social, so we need a true TikTok native who’s on the pulse of what matters to gaming audiences online – as knowledgeable about the social trends shaping their feeds as the gaming conversations on their minds.

This person needs to be a hands-on content creator with a Swiss army knife of skillsets: excited about ideating ideas big and small, turning images into memes, filming and editing hilarious TikToks, writing sharp captions, and capturing BTS, as well as comfortable working directly with clients.

What You’ll Have Delivered Elsewhere

• Created fun, engaging content for one of the world's biggest gaming publishers.
• Responsible for daily content creation (with TikTok, Instagram and YouTube as priority channels), delivering social and creative excellence.
• Ideating at speed, turning thoughts into concepts into social posts – which genuinely matter to our gaming-obsessed audiences.

• Finding and providing gaming community, industry and social insights to drive creative relevance.
• Levelling up the social presence for some of the most culturally relevant, exciting games in the world.

What Else Are We Looking For?

• An energetic and innovative social creator, either from a content creator or creative background, with experience in creating fast-paced social content for brands.
• This person lives for the FYP and viral memes. They’re fully immersed in gaming content and communities on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit and beyond, as well as everything else bubbling up online.
• Have a TikTok/Reels-first mindset when it comes to social, getting as excited by low-fi internet-y content as they are by bigger creative concepts. Nothing would excite them more than that love for gaming culture into a job, making fast-paced, unfiltered content.
• Being comfortable in front of a camera is also a plus.
