Company and Role Introduction

We are Gfinity. A leading international Esports business created by gamers for the world’s 2.2bn gamers!

We believe in the power of gaming to entertain and inspire a new generation.

Strong relationships with publishers are at the core of the success of the Company. These relationships are very important because:

We want to be the partner of choice for publishers that are implementing esports tournaments/events on a global scale and are looking for a partner to design, develop and deliver solutions for them and are prepared to share commercial rights
We want to create multiyear grass roots programmes with shared commercial rights that engage gamers through both tournament play and entertainment-based content delivered by us

We want, to start selling our own technology and our expertise in community building
