  • Ensure high-quality reporting from EMEA esports agencies, and prepare reports for internal stakeholders

Required Qualifications:

  • Experience: 2 - 4 years of experience in PR, communications, or a related field
  • Industry knowledge: Familiarity with the gaming, entertainment, or sports industries, with a strong grasp of media landscapes and audience expectations. Experience in or of the esports industry is a plus, but not required.
