Title: Senior Writer – GamesRadar

Location: Remote US

Job Description:

As a Senior Staff Writer on Gamesradar.com reporting to the Editor-in-Chief, you will help to continue the rapid global growth of the website by delivering content that connects with a global audience of millions of multiformat gamers.

You will help ensure that the website is updated multiple times a day with new articles: working with the site’s Editor-in-Chief, Managing Editor and wider team to create a daily output of content following the site’s strategy. You’ll be as comfortable writing about games on PS5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo, and Marvel movies and Star Wars. You will instinctively understand what gamers want to read about, and will have a desire to deliver that content first, ahead of GR’s main rivals.

You will play a very hands-on role, and may perform many different content tasks for the site, which will also include repurposing and sub-editing existing editorial copy – ensuring that it meets the requirements of our SEO strategy and is optimized for e-commerce.

Key role responsibilities

  • Create daily content for GamesRadar as directed by the Senior Editorial team, and across several content types (news, reviews, features and guides)
  • Sub-editing the work of others, and working with the GamesRadar team to create new ideas and instill best-practice procedures.
  • Develop industry contacts that’ll yield exclusive stories in the future, whether for indie games or established blockbusters.
  • Use data insight and tools to determine the hottest topics to write about using tools like Google Analytics
  • Attend industry trade shows and press events on our behalf.
  • Constantly try to improve our workflows to deliver content as fast as possible against our rivals
  • Work with other digital and print teams to maximize content opportunities.
  • Help deliver global audience and brand growth following expectations working with the EiC, and wider team
  • Understand your goals, and ensure that you are achieving them
  • Identify opportunities to fill content gaps that help the brand to serve its audience better
  • Work with commercial teams to help deliver our commitments to our advertisers
  • Identify new opportunities to deliver new tools and functionalities on the site to add value for our audience and improve our own efficiencies and workflows
  • Be a passionate champion of the brand, ensuring that Gamesradar.com always delivers the highest user experience

Essential skills and experience

  • A passion for console video games (and other related technologies such as VR or PC gaming)
  • 3+ years of experience writing high quality engaging, relevant content for the sector
  • Ability to deliver high volumes of content at pace
  • Understanding of SEO, and methods of identifying and ranking for, targeted terms
  • A global outlook, and understanding of the international video games market
  • Numerate and analytical
  • Experience in content management systems
  • Able to interpret and use audience behavioral data
  • Willingness to get involved in video production where relevant (presenting or helping the video team while on shoots)
