Job description

We’re looking for someone to own the narrative of CSGORoll - understanding what people currently think about us, where the company is going, and turning that into a coherent story across our content and communication.

This is a creative + strategic + hands-on role. We don't want someone who needs a team of 6 people underneath them to create value. They should be capable themselves, then use internal resources and external contractors where needed.

What you’ll do

  • Understand perception - keep their ear to the ground across customers, the CS2 community, public discussion, customer support feedback, Product and BI. Understand both what people love and what they dislike about us.

  • Build the narrative - work with management and Product to turn where CSGORoll is going into a clear story/message, rather than disconnected promotions and announcements.

  • Keep it coherent - make sure socials, blogs, product communication, community interaction and larger content all fit the same wider narrative, adapted appropriately for different audiences.

  • Create the content plan - decide what stories/content we should actually be putting out and plan ahead around the product roadmap, events, releases and the CS2 scene.

  • Create things people actually want to watch - not just ads. Genuine CS2 content, community content, creative concepts, collaborations, short-form and larger productions that people would watch/share/react to regardless of the advertisement.

  • Get maximum value from production - one collaboration or shoot should create multiple pieces of content where possible, rather than spending heavily for one video.

  • Execute - work directly with our existing designers/editors and bring in copywriters, creators or production teams on a contractor basis when needed. Brief them, direct them, critique the work and own the final output.

  • Stay close to the community - we don't want to only appear when we have an announcement. Communication should feel human, authentic and actually engaged with what's happening.

Requirements

We're looking for someone who is:

  • Extremelyhigh agency and doesn't wait to be prompted.

  • Creative and a genuinely good storyteller.

  • Hands-on - can deliver value without needing a team underneath them.

  • High EQ with a strong understanding of psychology and perception.

  • Curious and willing to actually research what people are saying.

  • A good planner and executor.

  • A strong communicator who can work across management, Product, Customer Relations, BI and creative people.

  • Capable of directing and criticizing creative work.

  • Commercially sensible with production/collaboration costs.

  • Ideally familiar with CS2, esports, gaming and internet culture - or capable of becoming deeply immersed in it very quickly.

What this isn't

Not performance marketing, affiliate management or someone whose job is negotiating influencer deals.

We're also not looking for a corporate PR person or someone who produces strategies for other people to execute.

They need to understand the current narrative, decide what story we should be telling, and actually make that story happen.

Prepare your application

Use the description above to assess your fit for Ancient Gaming. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.

Match requirements to evidence

Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.

Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.

Check the working arrangement

Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.

Review before submitting

Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.

Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.

Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
