A leader in creating deep and engaging experiences on PC and mobile, Jagex was founded in 2001 and is today one of the UK’s biggest and most respected video game developers and publishers.
Famed for its flagship MMOs RuneScape and Old School RuneScape, Jagex has welcomed more than 260million player accounts to its world and created a $1bn lifetime franchise revenue.

Reporting to the Head of Influencer Management, you’ll be a vital component of the team that shapes the future of Jagex Creator Support, influencer marketing, and collaborations with creators from across the industry.
This role will design and execute our influencer marketing and collaboration activities for Runescape and Old School RuneScape, as well as expand and strengthen our creator relationships through the Jagex Creator Support Program and direct outreach.
This is an amazing opportunity to be at the forefront of influencer management, managing a large creator ecosystem and popular titles with consistent content updates. As such, it requires an experienced, sharp and keen individual with a passion for online games.

Essential Requirements

- Zen Attitude: When things are falling apart around you, you can stop, assess, prioritize, and move towards practical solutions rather than being pulled in a bunch of different directions.
- Drive: You grab the bull by the horns and you’re not comfortable waiting for other people to guide you. You enable your team to innovate and surprise you. You can work independently or collaborate as part of a larger team, and usually both at the same time

This is the type of work you live for, and you’ll be able to articulate that passion through past projects and future goals.
