About the Role:
The Associate Director of Consumer Communications will build narratives, PR campaigns, and press stories that promote our content and creators across multiple verticals including gaming, music, sports, and more. Twitch has seen exponential growth, and we are looking for someone that help us continue that momentum in the consumer media space.
You'll work with several teams internally, including the Business Development, Music and Sports teams, Marketing, and Partnerships, to develop strategic and creative PR plans that highlight our content and creators to U.S. press. Over the past year, we have seen some of the biggest gaming moments happen live, only-on-Twitch content around the most popular sports events in the world, musicians creating entire albums with their community - and we are just getting started.
You are creative and have experience leading PR campaigns that center around content, talent or creators. You are curious about how things work and can bring a compelling story to life with few details. You spot issues before they happen, can quickly build trusted relationships with partners, think and work with multiple teams, and excel in a fast-paced, changing environment.
