Guru Games Marketing & Growth Intern / Lead
Guru Games is looking for a creative, ambitious Marketing & Growth Intern / Lead to help grow our brand and launch our first mobile game to the world.
We’re an early-stage, incorporated British startup building puzzle games that are fun, competitive, and genuinely help players improve. Our first app, Total Sudoku - Puzzle Games, is now live on the App Store and Google Play.
Total Sudoku is a competitive Sudoku app with multiple puzzle variants, including Colour Sudoku, skill-based matchmaking, smart hints, a training ground for learning techniques, custom colour palettes, community-created modes, and more.
We’re now looking for someone to help us get the game in front of as many people as possible.
The Role
You’ll work directly with the founder to grow the Guru Games brand across:
- TikTok
- X
This is a hands-on role with real ownership. You won’t just be “helping out” — you’ll be responsible for shaping our content strategy, growing our audience, testing ideas, and helping turn Total Sudoku into a recognisable puzzle gaming brand.
The role can be part-time or full-time, depending on your availability and we're happy to offer longer term leading roles post internship. We’re flexible on structure and more focused on finding someone who is excited by the vision and ready to build.
What You’ll Work On
You’ll help create and manage content across our main social channels, including:
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
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- Faceless short-form content
- Carousels and slideshow posts
- Hook-based content
- App feature breakdowns
- Launch and growth campaigns
- LinkedIn posts and articles
- Community engagement
- Calls to action to drive app downloads
- Creative campaigns around Total Sudoku’s unique features
You’ll also help build out marketing around features such as:
- Colour Sudoku
- Custom colour palettes
- Skill-based matchmaking
- Training Ground
- Smart hints
- Sudoku variants
- Weekly app updates
- Community-created content
We’re also starting founder-led marketing campaigns, including Guru vs Stranger, where the founder wears an orange guru costume and challenges strangers to puzzle games on the street. If you’re based in London, there may also be opportunities to help film this content, with lunch and travel covered for filming days.
Who We’re Looking For
This role would suit someone who is:
- Creative and full of content ideas
- Interested in startups, gaming, marketing, or social media
- Comfortable taking ownership
- Excited by early-stage growth
- Strong at writing, storytelling, or visual content
- Keen to experiment and learn quickly
- Interested in building something from the ground up
You don’t need years of experience. What matters most is that you’re proactive, enthusiastic, and willing to test ideas.

Why Join Guru Games?
This is an opportunity to join a startup at the very beginning and have a direct impact on its growth.
You’ll get hands-on experience in:
- Startup marketing
- Social media growth
- Brand building
- App launch strategy
- Founder-led content
- Community growth
- User acquisition
- Campaign testing
You’ll also be able to take clear credit for the growth you help create and build a strong portfolio of real startup experience.
Guru Games is still early, but the vision is much bigger than one game. Total Sudoku is our first launch, and the long-term goal is to build Guru Games into a wider puzzle gaming brand with more titles, more communities, and more ways for people to play, compete, and improve.
How to Apply
Send me a message with:
- A short intro about yourself
- Why you’re interested in Guru Games
- Any examples of content, marketing, social media, writing, design, or growth work you’ve done (CV preferred)
- Bonus points if you download Total Sudoku - Puzzle Games, try it, and tell us one thing you’d improve or market differently.
Excited to hear from people who want to build something fun, creative, and ambitious from the ground up.
