Per Supercell's mission statement, “to create games for as many people as possible that are played for years and remembered forever,” we want to create games that people play and remember for years. Every day, an astounding (and growing) number of players play Supercell's games: Brawl Stars, Clash of Clans, Hay Day, Boom Beach, & Clash Royale, and marketing’s role is to ensure we continue to engage and enrich our current players and encourage new players to join in on this journey.

To make these five games, we've killed dozens along the way. That's because we're obsessed with quality. Our goal, as stated above, is to make the best games that are played by millions, enjoyed for years, and remembered forever. With the spirit of ONE global marketing team, we reach our players across the globe with engaging experiences of our games, delivering marketing initiatives that transcend the digital platform. Such an approach requires that everyone on a team plays multiple roles, and marketers at Supercell are no exception to this.

Our APAC regional marketing team is now looking for a Community Marketer, Japan who will specialize in communicating our vision to our players and bring their voice to our internal teams.

About the Role

Our ideal candidate will be someone who can be the face (and voice) of the regional marketing team to our players in Japan and advocate for our players within the team and the company. Your creativity, strategic thinking, and passion for gaming will elevate our brand presence and build strong relationships within our community. You will be focusing on managing community marketing initiatives for our current live games (Clash of Clans, Clash Royale, Hay Day, and Brawl Stars) by engaging with content creators and members of the community as well as external partners. You will be nourishing our players with community content including, but not limited to, recent game updates, culturally fitting content localization, and more!

You would also be a natural feel for all forms of social media such as Twitter, Instagram, Twitch, Discord, and more. You will also be representing our players towards our internal marketing teams and game teams with organized player feedbacks from those channels.

Plus, we have several ambitious new projects under development with the aim to be “genre-defining” games. To achieve this goal, we expect you to be able to share your insights on the latest trends in games/entertainment/consumer product marketing and innovative vision in creating resonating marketing campaigns and creatives for our ‘genre-defining” games.

We are looking for someone who will dare to take risks and do things differently, from planning to executions, and not be married to traditional ways of marketing. We want a risk-taker who is full of boundary-pushing ideas, someone who knows how to strike the right balance between what has worked before and what is different and new.

We are looking for a passionate individual who plays, loves, lives, and breathes games.
