About Battlefy
We are the tip of the spear for esports
- Battlefy is where esports lives – it’s the easiest way to create, manage, and discover esports competitions.
- Battlefy is the premier esports platform trusted globally by game studios, publishers, brands, and leagues to create, market, and scale organized gaming competitions.
- Battlefy has helped over 150,000 esports organizations execute over 400,000 amateur and professional competitions and leagues.
- We were founded well before the Associated Press confirmed the correct spelling for “esports.”
- We’re backed by gaming and media industry veterans and are Silicon Valley-funded.
- We’re growing and we need passionate talent to drive the company to the next level.
About our team
Esports and gaming are in our DNA. We grind League of Legends as part of our product testing, practice CSing obsessively in DOTA2, and are adamant about Ultimate Infestation giving way too much value in Hearthstone. When teammates jockey for roles, we humbly type “fill”; and we’re always ready to blast goals from outside the box in FIFA.

- You are adept in setting and managing expectations with partners through clear and constant communication.

- You have a keen eye for data, designing surveys, and are willing to become one with the gaming community to discover recommendations for our game developer partners.
- You are a champion of change, are able to define areas of opportunity for the improvement of the company, and follow through with execution.
- You take initiative, manage deliverables, meet deadlines, and drive results.

What you’ll do
- Report directly to the Chief Business Officer.
- Manage, execute and drive the success of our game developer partnerships, e.g., battlefy.com/leagues/collegelol.
- Collaborate across the team to get things executed timely and on budget.

Who you don’t need to be
- You don’t need to be in Vancouver. We have team members in Jakarta, London, Los Angeles, NYC, Paris, Santiago, São Paulo, and Vilnius. We figured out the virtual model. We love polyglots!
- You don’t need to be a start-up veteran. If you’re down for the peaks and valleys of start-up life and willing to devote the energy and fortitude to make Battlefy as huge and as awesome as it promises to be, we’ll give you a fair chance at joining the team.
