Industry background is flexible; an interest in esports and gaming is a plus, but not mandatory.

  • Commercial/Partnerships
  • 3-5 years of experience in account management, client success, marketing, or a similar role (agency, brand, media, sports, entertainment, or other relevant fields).

  • Strong organizational and project management skills; able to manage multiple accounts and deadlines simultaneously.
  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to build and maintain strong relationships with partners and internal teams.
  • Comfortable working with presentations, reports, and basic data/metrics.
