Andbox, the organization behind New York Excelsior (NYXL) is adding an Events Production Manager to our corporate team. If you're a talent acquisition professional with an interest in the rapidly growing esports industry, this could be the ideal role for you.
Andbox is New York’s esports organization, beginning with the successful launch of NYXL, New York’s franchise in Activision Blizzard’s Overwatch League. With the league’s best record, MVP and a roster stacked with all-stars, NYXL was a gold standard in the Overwatch League's inaugural season. Now begins the evolution of NYXL into a broader, multi-team house of brands that will define New York’s esports identity, beginning with our second team, for Call of Duty.
