Director of Creator Relationships, North-America

We do not accept unsolicited submissions of resumes/CVs from agencies or headhunters and will not pay fees to any agency or company that does not have a signed agreement and ongoing collaboration with Noice.

Noice’s “Content meets Multiplayer Game” platform completely re-imagines how gamers engage with their favorite content creators. Instead of just passively watching content, users on Noice play with the content and the creators. Our stealth beta version has shown that users are engrossed in this lean forward multiplayer experience with the creators, which results in much higher engagement, retention and monetization for the creators.

Noice has raised over $25 million from founders of game industry unicorns from Unity to Supercell, been developed for years in stealth mode and been thoroughly validated with players and content creators. Our ambition is to grow Noice to tens of millions of users and tens of thousands of content creators within the next three years.
