Kickstarter is home to a thriving community of games creators and backers who, together, are defining the future of gameplay. We’re always seeking new opportunities to elevate the most inventive projects coming to life on the platform, and we’re now hiring an expert digital strategist with a Games background to join us in our work.

About the Team

Our curation & Content team works to elevate Kickstarter creators and their projects. The group of us who work with Games have made it our mission to acquire and support today’s most exciting Games creators in running Kickstarter campaigns.

About the Role

As a full-time Content Strategist on the Curation & Content team, you’ll have the responsibility of elevating the most exciting games projects launching, excelling, and fulfilling on Kickstarter. You must be able to write on-brand, ready-to-publish copy that elevates games creators’ projects and stories. You’ll help grow and optimize our existing curated channels — plus develop new channels (like Twitch, Reddit, and Discord) — to ensure that creators and backers are able to discover the most exciting and excellent games projects possible based on their interests. In your day to day, you’ll produce content for our social media and brand newsletters, curate features, and develop strategic community partnerships. And ideally, you have a keen ability to balance ROI-generating campaigns with brand messaging and community development.

In This Role, You Will:

• Drive all backer engagement initiatives and strategies for the Games community
• Own Games channel-optimization initiatives
• Track engagement metrics to increase performance
• Collaborate on and support Curation & Content team strategies, including: Creator Prompts (like Make 100 and Kickstarter Gold), social media campaigns, homepage features, content partnerships, editorial features, and beyond

• You have your finger on the pulse of the games community, and you’re always looking for ways to incorporate trending conversations and news into your work
• You know how to analyze data to extract key insights, and feel confident using those findings to execute and optimize a content strategy.

• You know good design when you see it, and you’re a total pro at creating web-based content (GIFs, video, streaming, light html skills)
.
• You’re a highly motivated and enthusiastic team player who is as excited to work collaboratively as you are to spearhead and execute projects on your own.
• You’re passionate about the Kickstarter Games community, and you’d be thrilled to spend your days working in service of our mission: bringing creative [games] projects to life.
