You’ll work closely with our local esports team, creators and content staff to develop innovative activations that engage our passionate fanbase and showcase the power of Fnatic’s ecosystem. From new business development to managing key relationships, this role is an opportunity to prove the strength of Fnatic’s brand and fandom in Japan — and play a vital part in scaling our presence in the region.

  • Coordinate business reviews with partners, working with internal teams to best showcase partnership performance through data and market insights
  • Explore opportunities across the business on a regular basis to identify new opportunities to over-deliver or expand the partnership
  • Lead on ad-hoc Partnership projects as directed by your manager

Requirements:
