FAILBETTER IS HIRING: Community and Marketing Analyst

EDIT: APPLICATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED! We have a full slate of interviewees - thanks all for your attention!

----------------

We're now advertising for a Community and Marketing Analyst to take on responsibilities that Paul and I currently handle, to give us more time to do words and pictures.

Responsibilities are:

  • monitor and report on player engagement and behaviour, using both data-driven and qualitative approaches
  • propose, manage, report on, tune digital marketing campaigns
  • manage, report on and assist in producing promo codes, mail-outs and other engagement channels
  • assist with first-line user support and community relations
  • collaborate with the tech team on proposing, agreeing and testing UX and design changes
  • other stuff a small team needs to get done. This might mean QA testing, mailing Kickstarter rewards or attending events as a Failbetter ear - all the stuff everyone else on the team does.


This is a junior role: probably a good fit for a smart first or second jobber, or someone looking to change careers, who wants experience at the indie end of the gaming industry. It isn't a writing gig, but will involve some editing and secondary writing (e.g. flavour text for promo codes and advertising), as well as close liaison with Failbetter's (one-and-a-half) writers.

Candidates must live within commuting distance of North Greenwich tube station in south London (sorry, non-UK types). This is not a remote-working position, although we do work from home one day a week. It's a full-time position but may be suitable for part-time or flexible working. Full-time salary is 17-22K depending on experience.

Essential!
Power-user level of digital literacy; numerate, intelligent, hard-working, articulate, affable; industry interest.

Pluses:
Digital marketing experience
Statistical skills
Fallen London fan
Knowledge of Google Analytics or similar products
Simple SQL skills
Doesn't need to look up the word 'liminal'

To apply, mail jobs@failbettergames.com with your CV and a paragraph on what you can bring to the role. We'll be interviewing from January onwards: we'd like to move quickly on this, so feel free to send CVs for me to read while I'm recovering from roast turkey.
