Rebellion are looking for an experienced brand or senior brand marketer to lead the strategy, planning and delivery of campaigns for some of its most respected video game brands and products.

We’re looking for someone as comfortable collaborating with multiple teams in a fast moving indie studio as they are working and making critical decisions independently.

With acclaimed projects such as Sniper Elite VR, Evil Genius 2 and Zombie Army 4 due for release in 2020, and with the sequel to Sniper Elite 4 and another AAA property already in development, there has never been a more exciting time to join Rebellion’s growing marketing division.
This role is full-time based in-house at our Oxford HQ. We can consider permanent or fixed-term employment but not freelance or agencies. You must be able to legally work in the UK.

Strong communication skills, solid copywriting and excellent proofreading.

A digital marketing qualification (BA, PGDip or MA) or similar, is preferred but not essential.
Line management experience is preferred, but not essential.

Creating and delivering strategic marketing plans for specific game products, including application of segmentation, targeting, communications, forecasting, budgeting and more.
