About the Role
The Music & Sports Communications Manager will help build narratives, campaigns, and stories that promote music and sports on Twitch, and other non-gaming categories. Non-gaming content on Twitch has seen exponential growth, and we are looking for someone to help us continue that momentum.
You'll work with many teams internally, including the Music and Sports teams, Marketing, and Partnerships, to develop strategic and creative plans that highlight our sports and music content and creators. Over the past year, we've seen huge names in music and sports stream on Twitch, music festivals go live, and only-on-Twitch content around the biggest sports events in the world - and we are just getting started.
You are creative and self-directed with experience working on consumer-focused stories 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.
