This is an incredible opportunity to learn global brand marketing with one of the world’s most recognized sports, lifestyle, and gaming brands and with a team of experienced, fun and passionate marketers. We are looking for a special individual to complete the team and take our franchises to the next level. 

The ideal candidate will possess strong written and oral communication skills, a high level of emotional IQ, strong interactive gaming, sports, and/or lifestyle marketing knowledge, and the ability to continually evolve, drive, and maintain processes needed to ensure that the Global Marketing Strategy team continues to drive innovative and creative brands and campaigns.

High attention to detail, ability to take direction, and the ability to keep teams organized, motivated to do their best work, and well informed to hit deadlines will be critical in this role. Finally, we are looking for a team mate with a positive, and roll-up-your-sleeves, can-do-attitude that can further strengthen the collaborative and dynamic culture of the team.
