Influencer Manager

Join CI Games and be part of shaping the future of gaming . As we embark on an ambitious strategic roadmap with major releases planned for 2025-2028, we're seeking a talented and dedicated Influencer Manager to help us create ground-breaking experiences that captivate players worldwide.

A career at CI Games is about being part of a team working on some of the most creatively rewarding and ambitious projects to be found in any entertainment medium. You would be welcomed to a dedicated and inclusive environment where you can learn and collaborate with some of the most talented people in the industry.

Key Responsibilities:

Influencer Strategy & Relationship Management

• Identify, build, and maintain long-term relationships with key influencers, content creators, and streamers within the Action-RPG and Soulslike genres.

• Develop and execute global influencer campaigns that align with our roadmap, focusing on high-impact reveals and long-term player engagement.

• Act as the primary point of contact for creators and agencies, ensuring they have the information, assets, and support needed to create authentic and engaging content.

Campaign Execution & Operations

• Manage the end-to-end influencer workflow, from initial outreach and negotiation to content approval and performance reporting.

• Coordinate with the CCO and the Marketing team to ensure influencer beats are integrated into the global communication.

• Organise and host influencer events, including preview events, early access sessions, and dedicated gameplay captures (both digital and physical).

Data & Trend Analysis

• Stay ahead of the curve by monitoring trends within the influencer scene, identifying emerging platforms, and spotting new "rising star" creators in our genre.

• Track and analyse the performance of influencer campaigns, providing data-driven insights to the CCO to optimise future strategies.

• Maintain an up-to-date database of creators, ensuring a diverse and global reach that reflects our player base.

Let's be honest!

On occasions, this role may be challenging.

• You will be dealing with a wide variety of personalities and time zones; being adaptable during major campaign beats is a reality of the role.

• Authenticity is key - influencer audiences can spot "corporate talk" from a mile away. You must be able to balance company goals with the creator's need for creative freedom.

• The influencer landscape moves incredibly fast; what worked for a launch last year might not work today, requiring constant iteration and learning.

• Your role will be fully remote which may be sometimes challenging.

Key Requirements:

• 3+ years of experience in Influencer Management or Talent Relations within the gaming industry.

• Expert-level knowledge of the Action-RPG and Soulslike influencer scene is a must; you should already know who the key players are on YouTube, X, Tiktok, Twitch, and any other relevant platforms.

• Proven track record of executing successful influencer campaigns for AA+ or AAA titles.

• Strong negotiation and contract management skills, with a focus on building fair and sustainable partnerships.

• Exceptional communication skills - you need to be as comfortable talking to a creator as you are presenting data to the Executive team.

• A deep passion for gaming and a genuine understanding of what makes content "clickable" and engaging for our specific audience.

Desirable:

• Established personal network of contacts within the global Soulslike creator community.

• Proficiency with influencer tracking and CRM tools (e.g., Gamesight, Impact, or similar).

• Experience working on multi-regional campaigns across EMEA and North America.

What we offer:

• Attractive remuneration and annual discretionary bonus.

• Generous benefits supporting your wellbeing.

• Opportunities for professional development within a supportive and collaborative team.

• Remote work with flexible schedules (core working hours 10am-4pm CET), allowing you to work alongside talented individuals from around the world.

• An opportunity to work with cutting-edge technologies and stay at the forefront of the gaming industry.

• A diverse and inclusive workplace that celebrates all backgrounds, regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability, or social status.

• Company events and wrap-up parties, access to all games released by CI Games and company merchandise.

• A chance to be part of something ground-breaking as we shape the future of gaming.

Recruitment Process:

• Once our Talent Acquisition team receives your application, together with the hiring team, we will review your CV, portfolio and the answers you provided in the application form and if all the boxes are ticked, we're moving to the next stage.

• Initial call with Talent Acquisition Specialist - During this call you'll learn about the company and we learn about you. We'll talk about your experience & expectations with working in a fully remote environment and we'll talk about your expertise. We'll finish this call with some admin questions. There will be an opportunity for you to ask any questions as well.

• After the initial call, usually 1 or 2 interviews with the hiring team follows. These interviews will be a bit more technical and will go deeper into your experience, skills & knowledge. As you would have signed an NDA by now, you'll also learn a bit more about the project you would work on. During these interviews we'll also focus on finding out whether you're a good fit for our company culture and that we share the same values.

• We may or may not ask you to do the test - this is decided on an individual basis and you will receive instructions with the test.

• If everything goes well, the last step in the recruitment process is the offer presentation call with the Talent Acquisition Specialist and your future line manager to discuss the offer and next steps to get you successfully on board.

We are an equal opportunities employer, hiring and developing our best talent based on merit. Accessibility is at the heart of our games, and we are committed to not discriminating against people based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability, or social status.
