The Virtual Athletics League (VAL) is looking for an ambitious and highly organised Project Management intern to join our gaming marketing agency.
You’ll work directly with VAL’s leadership team across project management, creator partnerships, finance and sales, gaining hands-on experience in marketing for the games industry.
We’re looking for someone who is organised, commercially minded and proactive. You don’t need years of experience, we’re more interested in someone who can take ownership, communicate clearly and learn quickly.
Although this is a remote, UK based role, you’ll be expected to align part of your working day with US Mountain Time to collaborate with the wider team. You’ll need to commit to being available between 6pm-8pm UK time daily, with flexibility around how you structure the remainder of your 40 hour working week.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits

- Understand the gaming industry, its audiences and market trends.
- Understand gamers, creators and online communities
- Are highly organised, proactive and comfortable juggling multiple projects and clients
- Care about team culture, collaboration and building strong relationships
- Have an interest in game design or development, level design experience is a bonus but not essential.
