Position: Game Content Editor
Location: Sydney
Start Date: ASAP
Description: Games writer required to cover titles for PC, PS2, Xbox and PSP. It's not enough for you to be aware of gaming, you have to live and breathe it, and be able to translate that passion to the written word.
This role is a high volume position - you will be expected to write factual, entertaining copy - constantly. You must be capable of treating all titles for assessment with a stringent level of objectivity. The robust nature of online gaming communities means that you can expect feedback on your efforts almost immediately. You must have the ability to state your case and support it in writing.
You MUST be familiar with the local video games industry - aware of the key platforms, the publishers, developers, community and what makes a great game stand out from an ordinary one. You will be required to communicate on a daily basis with everyone from fellow team members to game publishers and their representatives, so you need to have a proactive, can-do attitude.
You'll need the ability to manage a busy workload independently, while still being a strong team player.
Desired attributes include:
- Professional experience in games journalism
- Excellent written communications skills and a flair for creative writing
- Keen enthusiasm in gaming on both PC and consoles
- Extensive experience in playing online games
- Well presented and comfortable traveling to visit game developers and publishers
- Basic HTML and word processing skills
The position would be ideal for a journalism graduate or person with an editorial background. If you think you meet the criteria, please enclose samples of your published work along with your resume to jobs@mammothmedia.com.au with a subject of "Games reviewer position". Documents may be in Word, RTF, PDF, HTML, or plain text format.
If you do not have a professional background in editorial, but feel strongly that you do possess the skills and tools to succeed, enclose a sample game review - written by you on a game of your choice - for our appraisal.
Salary commensurate with experience.
