Who We’re Looking For:

Support the execution of Live Ops and our exciting and robust player-facing initiatives, collect data, and execute new campaigns based on player learnings. You will join a dedicated team passionate about quality and delivering excellence in player marketing. Deploy email campaigns (basic HTML understanding is a must), schedule push notifications, develop art assets (Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, or similar program strongly suggested), and write copy.

What You Will Do:

  • Design game and campaign-based artwork for multiple marketing channels.
  • Write compelling copy to engage our players in exciting events and special offers.
  • Edit HTML-based email for seasonal, ad hoc, and weekly campaign deploys.
  • Schedule and deploy highly-visible campaigns with a focus on player-first accuracy.
  • Maintain high quality work and attention to detail in a high-pressure, deadline-driven environment.
  • Develop copy and art assets based on the full lifecycle of a player: entering the game, fostering confidence in play, encouraging in-app spend, cultivating player engagement, and re-engaging lapsed or soon-to-lapse players.

Your Skillz:

  • Outstanding creative writing, editing, and proofreading skills
  • Working knowledge of Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Premier, and/or InDesign
  • Beginning to intermediate knowledge of HTML
  • Process-oriented with a high attention to detail
  • A high level of creativity, attention to detail, time management, and organizational skills
  • Proficiency in the Microsoft Office Suite of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
  • 2-5 years of experience in professional organization performing similar duties
  • Experience in the gaming industry a plus

About Your Team:

We offer a robust training program to get you up-to-speed with 7, 30, and 90 day goals to challenge and engage you. We never get bored with so many thrilling initiatives to bring to our amazing player-base. Your team thrives in a fast-paced environment in which everyone is cross-trained to step in for one another in a pinch. We execute new and innovative campaigns every week, and everyone’s voice is heard. This is the entrance into the gaming industry you’ve been looking for!

Due to COVID, this opening is currently remote and eligible to anyone residing in our office locations (Portland, Las Vegas, Los Angeles). Attendance in office will be required in 2021 (or when safe to do so).
