You will also be involved with the product launch of new upcoming titles and taking studios through the journey of first contact to a shipped release. You’ll also get the opportunity to attend worldwide events and liaise with their existing Marketing Team to uphold a positive brand and PR for the studio.

There is a competitive salary on offer, including exclusive studio benefits, relocation assistance, pension, choice of laptop, a generous holiday allowance and free parking.

This role offers a hybrid model which is onsite twice a week (Tuesday and Wednesday) with the rest working remotely.
