We’re looking for someone as comfortable collaborating with multiple teams in a fast moving indie studio as they are working and making critical decisions independently.

With acclaimed projects such as Sniper Elite VR, Evil Genius 2 and Zombie Army 4 due for release in 2020, and with the sequel to Sniper Elite 4 and another AAA property already in development, there has never been a more exciting time to join Rebellion’s growing marketing division.

A digital marketing qualification (BA, PGDip or MA) or similar, is preferred but not essential.

Line management experience is preferred, but not essential.

Responsibilities

Creating and delivering strategic marketing plans for specific game products, including application of segmentation, targeting, communications, forecasting, budgeting and more.
