  • Overall understanding of the gaming audiences from core to casual.
  • Must be a self-starter with a strong ability to embrace an entrepreneurial spirit in the context of a corporate environment.
  • Should be able to demonstrate experience with project management – we don’t want someone who is just about making the trains run on time but the trains do have to run on time.
  • The right candidate will need to have a mix of creative energy and the discipline to see highly customized projects to completion while managing several campaigns and multiple clients.
  • Powerpoint, Excel and Word required.
  • Adobe Photoshop skills are a plus.
