PlayStation also strives to create an inclusive environment that empowers employees and embraces diversity. We welcome and encourage everyone who has a passion and curiosity for innovation, technology, and play to explore our open positions and join our growing global team.

Department Overview:
This role is based within the Product Comms team, part of the Platform Experience Group (PEG) division of Sony Interactive Entertainment.
Our goal is to maximise the impact of launch and in-life performance of our products and services, through timely, relevant, compelling and detailed Product Communications. The core audience is comprised of senior internal stakeholders across the global business, at both executive and working level.
The team’s output most commonly takes the form of written PowerPoint documents, but may also include video, web, Word, Excel etc., depending on the needs of the specific project. We also design and deliver product demonstrations for stakeholders across the business, as products get nearer to launch.
Projects include new product launches, the introduction of changes and updates to products in the market (e.g. console/peripheral/application software updates), and the delivery of other key strategic projects.
More recently, our remit has begun to expand; certain projects will include the creation of communications for SIE’s external partners. As a result, we’re now looking to grow our creative production resource within the team!
This role is focused on providing creative production support across the full range of projects that the Product Comms team works on.
You’ll support the Creative Lead with all aspects of the team’s creative output – copywriting and proofreading support, design and layout. In other words, it will draw upon your skills in both copywriting and visual layout/design.
We also produce video on occasion; familiarity with video production and/or editing would be a bonus.
The role will also require you to work with Microsoft SharePoint, as the team actively maintains a SharePoint comms site, through which its audience can self-serve materials as required. Given the sensitive nature of the information we manage, recognition of the importance of information security and careful handling of all material is critical. Guidance for this aspect of the role will be provided, but any prior experience would be a bonus.
This role requires a creative all-rounder; someone with excellent written skills, plus an appreciation for visual communication. While not a design role specifically, our documents are always highly visual – so you should have a keen sense of what looks good, what the right amount of content is for a given deliverable/page etc.
Beyond the immediate focus on creative skills, the role will draw on a diverse range of abilities – we’re open to hearing from candidates who are keen to grow their experience in one or more of these areas.
The role is initially for a 1-year contract.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown of what and who we’re looking for:
