Job description

The opportunity Unity powers some of the most-played games in the world, and the way we talk to the games industry — and to players — is changing fast. Join us as our Games Industry Communications Lead and become the owner of how Unity shows up across the games ecosystem, from the trade press that covers the business to the creators and streamers who shape what players pay attention to. Working closely with cross-functional partners across communications, marketing, and product teams, you will set the strategy and build the relationships, moments, and narrative that keep Unity part of the conversation. If you know this industry from the inside and have the relationships to prove it, we want you to hear from you.

What you'll be doing

• Own the games communications strategy end to end, including product launches, partner announcements, industry moments, and executive visibility
• Build and maintain relationships across the games ecosystem, becoming the go-to contact for trade reporters, consumer games media, creators, streamers, and podcasters who cover our space
• Lead communications for tentpole product moments, from positioning and press strategy through creator activations and launch-day execution
• Translate product and technical news into stories the industry wants to cover and players actually care about
• Proactively find and develop stories from across the business that show where Unity and the games industry are heading
• Coordinate cross-functional moments across PR, social, creator, and community channels so every launch lands as one campaign
• Track, measure, and report on performance to inform strategy and demonstrate impact

What we’re looking for

• A track record of communications work in or covering the games industry, in a company, agency, or newsroom setting
• Established relationships across games media and the creator ecosystem — trade and business reporters, consumer games press, content creators, streamers and podcasters
• Fluency in how the games business works: platforms and storefronts, publishing and distribution, live services and monetization
• Experience taking either B2B or consumer-facing products to market, with launches that landed with both press and audiences
• Experience owning a communications portfolio independently and setting its direction, not just executing against someone else’s plan
• Effective written and verbal communication, including the ability to write in an executive’s voice and adapt tone across formats
• Comfort working on confidential, unannounced products and managing sensitive launch timelines
• A proactive, curious approach to finding stories rather than only reacting to them
• You might also have Experience across both B2B and consumer communications, and comfort switching registers between them
• Experience running communications around major industry events and tentpole launch moments
• Experience coaching or preparing executives for public-facing moments
• Experience working for global publicly-traded companies
