THE OPPORTUNITY
Focused on action-packed, tense, and competitive experiences, this is a role for a strategic brand marketer who loves exhilarating games like Hell Let Loose. You’ll join our high stakes portfolio team and drive the brand marketing for several games within the Hell Let Loose franchise; building the strategic brand foundations each title needs to succeed and developing the go-to-market campaigns that drive awareness, demand, and ultimately commercial performance.
You’ll work at the intersection of strategy and execution—setting brand direction, developing campaign plans, and collaborating with subject matter experts across Team17’s cross-functional marketing team to bring everything to life. Your Product Team consists of Community Management and Production who are your day-to-day partners, ensuring we’re building the best games for the right players and that our marketing is as strong as the products it supports.
This role requires someone who can hold their own in multiple rooms at once. You’ll liaise with teams across Team17 as well as with the external developers we publish, which means your ability to build relationships, communicate clearly, influence stakeholders, and balance competing priorities will be every bit as important as your marketing expertise.
We’re looking for candidates with an established brand marketing background and demonstrable success in launching and supporting live service games. Someone with a strong understanding of the craft—marketers who understand and can demonstrate the value a strong brand brings to game development and marketing.
