- A passion for gaming, both as a marketer and a player

What the job involves
- We are looking for an experienced growth marketing manager to plan and execute our paid marketing campaigns for the upcoming free-to-play first person shooter Splitgate 2
- Partnering with senior marketing and company leadership to develop high-level media planning allocations in a comprehensive user acquisition (UA) strategy
- Planning, launching, and optimizing paid marketing campaigns to drive awareness, installs, and reengagement
- Leveraging our CRM database and customer segmentation tooling to retain and retarget our player base through customized campaigns once Splitgate 2 is launched

- Maintaining relationships with advertising publishers on the sell side to ensure we have the best features, audience insights, and commercial benefits to help Splitgate 2 grow
- Partnering with a media agency / external consultants on oversight of some portion of our overall paid media budget that you may not manage yourself

Our take
1047 Games is an independent game developer and the creator of Splitgate. The team initially developed the game as a side project but due to its quick rise in popularity, they turned their focus entirely on Splitgate.
A free-to-play first-person shooter, Splitgate launched to players' screens in July of 2021 and within the first few weeks of its release, surpassed 10M downloads. The game has attracted a large player base and is a popular choice on Twitch, with many streamers playing and promoting the game to their audiences. Due to the success of the game, 1047 has secured partnerships with various eSport organizations with the game being featured in many eSport tournaments and events.
Development on the game has begun to slow down, but the developers have announced they are now turning their focus to a new game that will be set in the Splitgate universe. While there is little information on what this new game will involve, 1047 is in a strong position to continue to grow and make a name for itself in the gaming industry due to the success Splitgate has demonstrated.
