Akshon Esports is a Vancouver based esports company looking for a full-time remote Video Script Writer to join our production and create scripts for our videos.
Who are we looking for?
We are looking for team members who are interested in video scripts covering deep dives into events, investigative research pieces, meta-discussion, play analysis, player biographies and among other topics.
A deep level of familiarity with the esports industry and various titles, in particular, with Overwatch and high-level of expertise with the game, is a plus, but familiarity with other games will not merit significant consideration in this process.
Aside from Overwatch, Akshon Esports is also looking to field writers who are interested in producing content geared towards a more general gaming audience via documentary-style content.
Akshon Esports provides creators with a collaborative environment in which team members are expected to work together constructively. Team members are expected to both provide and receive criticism in a professional and to contribute to other parts of the company when required.
Ideal candidates must be prepared to accomplish their work with minimal oversight as they should be comfortable with writing about Overwatch and/or other gaming titles.
Requirements:
- Ability to produce clean and concise copies of writing.
- Ability to work under tight deadlines.
- Experience in professional writing is a plus.
- Relevant college education preferred, but equitable work experience considered.
