Job description

Overview

Direct message the job poster from Other Things

Do you love video games and football, and are you extraordinarily blessed in the creative department? This video gaming specialist creative agency seeks a creative unicorn to join it on-site at its Leeds city centre office to produce high-quality, impactful work.

What’s the job?

We’re looking for an experienced multi-disciplinary creative. A generalist. A jack-of-all-trades who’s also pretty darned good at many of them. Skills include dreamt-up social-first concepts and campaigns, video and motion graphics concepts, impactful graphic and web design, compelling creative ideas, and a self-starting attitude. A large (but not sole) focus will be working on a AAA football game, so understanding what makes the sports audience tick on social and having a genuine interest in that world is important. You should be able to take ownership of creative projects, stay in control, communicate well with clients and colleagues through all stages, and be responsible for the quality of your output. The more hands-on you are, the better, but you’ll have a team of experts around you to support your creative endeavours.

Back to the unicorn theme: if you have skills in creative ideation, videography, video editing, graphic and web design, motion graphics, production and project management, social media content creation, copywriting, and a bold, unique presence, these could be put to good use.

How to get the gig

We want someone into video games and gaming culture, into sports (particularly football), and who enjoys creating impactful, memorable work. We want a self-starter who can take the initiative. For a Creative Lead, we’ll want to see a solid portfolio that demonstrates considerable experience and capability in the creative realm. We’re not asking for a fixed number of years of experience; we’re looking for talent, drive, and a great attitude. This will likely be your second rodeo rather than your first.

On the skills front, here’s what it looks like:

Required

• An interest in and knowledge of producing video content
• A love for gaming
• A love of sports (particularly football)
• Adobe Creative Suite proficiency (particularly Photoshop and Illustrator)
• Great communication and presentation skills (client-facing and with colleagues)
• Ability to direct and produce video content (especially social-first content and video game trailers)
• Team leadership experience
• Motion graphics experience

What else should I know?

Location: On-site at our Leeds city centre office. Some remote days will be possible.

Hours: 37.5 hours per week

Job Type: Permanent
