Brand Management Lead
Are you a brand management lead for EA?
The newly formed brand team for Electronic Arts is only six months into building our brand, so all of this is very new. That means we're still making it up as we go along. If you're an inspiring manager and a driver and if you're looking for a challenge, then this might be your gig. Right now we all muck in on everything and it can be a little messy.
