Role Overview

As the Game Content Editor for our client’s upcoming AAA First Person Shooter (FPS), you are part of a game capture team, and responsible for leading the video editing of exciting gameplay video footage captured on PC that showcase the intense gameplay, game atmosphere, and game mechanics that make this next-generation FPS unique. The captured content will be used in marketing assets for the game, such as, but not limited to, trailers, social media content, and promotional material.

In this role, you’ll collaborate closely with your capture team to deliver top-tier assets. You’ll also partner with creative leads at Eidra in Stockholm, Sweden, working together to align on marketing and creative direction for each assignment. You’ll have the opportunity to interface directly with our client and their stakeholders—leading AAA game studios based in the United States—ensuring that all content meets the highest standards and resonates with a global audience. Occasional travel to Stockholm may be available for in-person collaboration and creative workshops.

As with all team members, you will also be responsible for managing the highly confidential nature of both the assets created through capture and editing, the technical equipment used to do so, and hand-off of assets.

This is a unique opportunity to play a key role in shaping the marketing campaign for an unreleased AAA game title, working alongside world-class teams in both the US and Europe.
