You'll join a global team and be responsible for leading strategic deals, go-to-market planning, negotiations, and responding to customer RFIs/RFPs — using a combination of data and real-world insights to navigate ambiguity and deliver outcomes that benefit both our clients and Keywords.

• Develop and execute GTM strategies to drive adoption of new product features
• Receive & respond to customer RFIs/RFPs
• Use existing networks and expand within the games industry to open doors and create net new opportunities for Keywords, with a focus on introducing Player Engagement Services and expanding to other Keywords divisions
• Represent Keywords in public forums, including conferences and speaking opportunities
  
  

Analytics

• Regular CRM hygiene and reporting on weekly, monthly, and quarterly business reviews, including cross-KWS opportunity pipeline and progress

• Work closely with internal teams to drive alignment on business objectives and client initiatives
• Present proposals, negotiate deals, and communicate complex commercial opportunities effectively
• Promote a culture of accountability, collaboration, and customer obsession

• Experience engaging with game publishers at executive levels (CxO, SVP, VP)
• Experience negotiating and executing complex deals in excess of $10M
• Strong critical thinking, commercial creativity, and process-driven execution
• Data-driven mentality and ability to work through ambiguity
• High attention to detail and ability to perform under pressure and deadlines
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Self-motivated and able to thrive in a remote working environment
