Job Description

Responsibilities

  • 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

Requirements

  • 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
