  • Strong instincts for what esports fans care about and what will resonate, spread, and go viral.
  • Experience identifying, structuring, and extracting value from partnerships.
  • A track record of building or growing products, audiences, partnerships, or businesses within esports, gaming, sports, media, or a similarly fast-moving industry.
  • Highly entrepreneurial and comfortable moving between strategy and hands-on execution.
