Gaming Associate

Title means nothing. Heart, execution, and fun are everything. This is true for leaders and junior hires alike. This description provides some general guidelines to help you understand the role, but what's most important is a desire to get out of bed each morning to go and create something great.

Just remember, this description is designed to inform, not to limit. We need heart, execution, and fun beyond the confines of any description.

GAMING ASSOCIATE

Hi. I'm the gaming nerd who makes things happen. I’m more than just a fan and I have taken it upon myself to understand the gaming business inside and out. I'm here to build on existing relationships and grow new ones to help brands tell their story through key influencers on Twitch, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and other mediums (we wish Mixer was still on the list too. Sigh). I know games. I know creators. I just get nerd culture (anime, comic books and more). Oh – and I know which brands are doing it best in gaming.

I'm not here to simply take orders and complete discrete tasks -- I'm here to make order out of the chaos. I can run gaming campaigns with beta technology, tight timelines, and prioritize competing interests. My skills go beyond the controller or keyboard. If I don’t have the tool I need, I’ll find it. I've got fresh perspectives and I'm going to share my views on how to create the best systems for any need. I’m genuinely excited when I make a system better than what came before. I'm going to share my views on how to create the company I believe in. That's right -- I have ideas and I'm going to find a way to get work done. Period.

The Outloud Group is a small team with big name clients. We're trusted by names like Grubhub, Keeps, Audible, Fiverr, Hello Fresh, and SimpliSafe -- and I want to be part of the team where we can build on this success and help our relationships with existing clients flourish.

I'm ready to build on The Outloud Group's existing relationships and deliver outstanding campaigns for clients in the gaming arena. I care about getting every detail right and I'm going to go above and beyond to make sure our clients are getting bang for their buck. I'll report to one of Outloud’s Gaming Managers and work closely with the other Gaming Manager, Chief Growth Officer, and the Operations teams to make sure our clients are satisfied. That's right, I'm managing client relationships, thinking strategically about how to create cutting-edge campaigns, and following through on all my promises to create meaningful long-term partnerships. See, I told you nerds ruled the world.

THE NITTY GRITTY

I'm certainly ready for a full-time role and ideally, I'll ideally be Metro-Detroit or Ontario, Canada -- but the role can absolutely be done remotely.

-- I’m passionate about esports, video games, and the business behind it

-- I have an encyclopedic knowledge of the gaming world, from the largest streamers to the newest teams and know how to tie it into a clear picture

-- I know how to take best practices and make them work for me without being beholden to them because “that’s the way it’s always been done”

-- Solving new problems energizes me, especially when solutions aren’t straightforward and clear

-- I thrive in situations where I can fill in the details, and use them to paint the bigger picture for our clients

-- I dig media and marketing and I've got the track-record to prove it. I've got 1-3+ years of experience working with brands in a client-facing marketing role

-- I'm authentic. I'm not okay with promising something to a client or prospective client where we won't follow-through, because that's just not how I operate

-- I’ve proven that I’m well organized and comfortable with lots of moving pieces because that’s just the way it needs to be to get work done

-- I'm hungry to take on bigger challenges. My track-record is strong and I can point to concrete examples of how I've grown client accounts

-- I've worked in a professional environment and I know what it's like to work hard. I also know enough to appreciate a supportive and engaging culture when I see one
