It’s no secret that the US time zone is better when it comes to top PC game announcements. From Diablo to Starfield, from League of Legends to CS:GO, we need a UK-based evening news editor to gather all the news from the United States. Sound like you? So I suggest you keep reading.
The successful candidate will have a passion to scour the internet for the juiciest news and be able to find unique angles and headlines to make their stories stand out from the crowd. They will be aware of the latest gambling trends and know the best sources of information.
They’ll also need to be quick, because if Bethesda drops Starfield’s release date out of the blue, they’ll need to be able to pivot in an instant. It’s a fast-paced world, so you need to be able to keep up.
As part of the deal, you’ll get 28 days of vacation, plus a free vacation and birthday to celebrate in style. Other benefits include a private health insurance plan with enhanced mental health benefits, an auto-enrollment pension and more. It looks good? You can read more about the role below.
