Content Specialist for GOG.com

JobOverview:

GOG.com is looking for a creative and talented person with a superb command of English who can work well as part of a team to produce marketing and editorial content for us. This person will also help us research gaming news, line up interviews with new and established developers, and actively participate in our online community.

A good candidate is creative, hard-working, has a good sense of humor, and has the following qualifications:

Job Requirements:

Professional

• Superb command of written and spoken English. The primary language that GOG.com uses to communcate with external audiences--publishers and gamers--is English, and you’ll need to be able to speak and write fluently.
• Organized. Our content specialist will have a broad responsibility to create a lot of editorial and marketing content in English, and managing all of the deadlines and tasks that are a part of this job is very important.

Personal

• Love of PC gaming in general, and ideally a love of the old classic games from the 90’s and early 00’s.
• Comfortable in an informal work environment. We love our jobs at GOG and we don’t take ourselves too seriously, but we do work hard, and we expect you to as well.
• Be willing to learn. We always strive to be the best at GOG, and we hope you will, too.

These aren’t requirements, but it would be awesome if you:

• Demonstrate outside the box thinking for drawing attention to your brand
• Had a background in journalism or in technical writing (preferably in English)
• Had experience in a customer-facing job dealing with a wide variety of public people
• Knew how to juggle chainsaws (you never know when that could come in handy)

Key duties/responsibilities of Content Specialist:

• Copywriting. One of your two main areas of responsibility will be to write copy for GOG.com; you will create content for the website, for newsletters, and you will be part of a team that participates in developing ideas and creating content for a regular video show.
• Copy Editing: Your other major area of responsibility will be to make sure that all of our external English communications are professionally written. Whether it’s game pages, advertisements, or news posts to the GOG.com forums, you will help us create a professional appearance to our public.
• Press Relations: You will assist our Marketing Manager in finding press and helping to maintain a relationship with the press to encourage them to write about GOG.com
• SEO: As part of your duties, you will generate search engine optimized content for GOG.com; if you don’t have experience in this, you will be given training first.
• Assist in community management of online forums.

Availability

All candidates for this position need to be located in Warsaw, Poland and be able to come into the office every weekday. We are looking to hire a content specialist to start sometime in June or July 2012, although we can show some flexibility for the right candidate.

What do we offer?

• A unique chance to shape the future of digital distribution
• Competitive salary and great working atmosphere
• Work in an international environment and booming industry
• Other benefits (health care package, sport activities, etc.)
• If you are kind, some free game codes
