MarketingFull-time
What You'll Do
- Own player marketing strategy and execution across a portfolio of 2nd & 3rd party content in the Fortnite ecosystem, including UEFN games, developer-built experiences and more
- Lead marketing planning for new experiences and IP programs as they move toward launch, partnering closely with product and studio teams from early development onward
- Build and scale a data-driven marketing practice: define KPIs, build real funnel and player visibility, run experiments, and report results and ROI clearly to senior leadership
- Own genre-focused campaigns, in-game live events, and IP partnership marketing across the portfolio
- Manage, coach, and grow a team of marketing managers, helping the team focus on the highest-impact work rather than spreading thin across every request
- Partner cross-functionally with brand, creative, community, PR, partnerships, data science, product, paid media, and publishing teams, and manage relationships with external partners and licensors
- Represent player marketing in executive conversations — clear, confident, well-prepared storytelling on strategy and impact, not just status updates
What We're Looking For
- 8+ years of marketing experience, including several years in player, lifecycle, or growth marketing for games or other live, player-facing products
- Experience building growth strategy and campaigns across a portfolio of titles rather than a single game — comfortable thinking at the level of a connected, multi-title ecosystem
- Strong quantitative and analytical skills, with hands-on experience in marketing analytics, experimentation/A-B testing, attribution, and funnel measurement
- Track record of prioritizing ruthlessly across a high volume of concurrent workstreams, rather than trying to do everything
- Excellent executive presence and communication — able to tell a clear, credible story about strategy and impact to senior leadership
- Experience working with external partners, licensors, or IP holders
- Comfort operating with ambiguity and adapting plans as new titles and experiences take shape
- Genuine passion for games and an understanding of player and creator communities
- Experience adapting marketing strategies and campaigns across different regional markets and audiences
- Experience managing and developing direct reports
