BACKGROUND

Washington Esports Ventures was founded to purchase an Overwatch League team and build other esports teams that will represent the thriving Capital Region incorporating all of Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia—from Baltimore to Richmond. The company is led by Mark Ein, a Washington-area businessman, civic leader, philanthropist, sports team owner, and native Washingtonian. Mark and his ownership group believe in the power of sports as a platform to inspire people and bring communities together. The Company's esports assets, including the Overwatch League team, will be part of Mr. Ein's existing sports platform that owns the Washington Kastles, one of the most successful teams in the 45-year history of World Team Tennis, embraced by the Capital Region since its founding in 2008 and the Citi Open, a celebrated annual tennis tournament and one of DC's longest-standing sports traditions.

SUMMARY

This is a unique opportunity to work alongside a diverse team in both the sports and esports worlds. We're looking for someone with the right energy, passion and drive to handle the demands of both.

To be successful you will need to have strong time management and communication skills, as well as a willingness to learn and adapt.

In a fast-paced world, you will be put to test regularly and we are looking for someone who sees a challenge as an opportunity and versatility as paramount.

You will report to the Lead Designer and collaborate with an established design and content team. Your self-sufficiency must be balanced with strong teamwork and clear communication.

  • Must be located in, or willing to relocate to, the Washington D.C. area.
