This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced and confident Project Manager with a strong marketing understanding, who thrives in fast-paced environments and excels at stakeholder management.

• Coordinate with the Streamers and Marketing Teams to execute campaigns.
• Act as the central point of contact for all teams involved in Mega Releases.
• Ensure the creation of high-quality marketing assets (trailers, banners, big win clips) in collaboration with internal teams and external agencies.
• Oversee the rollout of social media campaigns, streamer events, and affiliate promotions.
• Monitor and optimize campaign performance in real-time.
• Align with the promotions team on the delivery of Network and Bespoke promotions.
• Work with Commercial Marketing Director and the Board of Directors to define budgets for Mega Release initiatives.
• Allocate resources effectively across paid media, content production, and promotional activities.
• Conduct post-launch retrospectives to capture learnings and optimise future Mega Releases.
• Propose innovative ideas to elevate the Mega Release experience.

• 3+ years of experience in Project Management and / or Marketing; gaming industry experience is a plus.
• Strong organizational and time management skills with the ability to manage complex projects.
• Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration abilities.
• Experience coordinating marketing campaigns, content production, and social media activations.
• Skilled in budget management and resource allocation.
• Analytical mindset with a drive for continuous improvement.
• Creative, proactive, and solutions-oriented.
• Comfortable using project management tools (e.g., Monday.com, Jira, Trello).
• Speak English natively or be completely fluent.
