Into Games is a fast growth non-profit with the mission to make the videogames industry a more accessible sector for young people aged 8 to 24 to find the career of their dreams. We are an industry led organisation, working with some of the UK’s top games studios to inspire and support people who are primarily from groups that are currently underrepresented in the sector (girls, BAME, etc). We operate the Videogames Ambassador programme with UKIE, the online resources hub intogames.org and the bi-weekly game jam event, Side Quest.

We are looking for someone to work with our management team and board to help develop and implement our social media and content generation strategy. You’ll be developing partnerships with games studios, writing and recording content for our website and really driving engagement with our primary target market of 13-18 year olds.

This is a fast paced and exciting role for someone looking to cut their teeth in a brand new venture where you will have a good level of autonomy and the space to try new ideas. We are a remote team that operates in a non-hierarchical way, with everyone's voice of equal importance.
