The GAMURS Group, which owns and operates gaming and entertainment outlets including Twinfinite, Attack of the Fanboy, PrimaGames, Dot Esports, Pro Game Guides, Gamepur, GamerJournalist, and Touch Tap Play, is seeking an experienced and organized managing editor to oversee the production and updating of codes stories, wikis, and word game answer posts in a newly created, network-wide role. This is a full-time position and includes benefits, as detailed below.

Codes stories and other posts that need frequent updates are a vital and ever-changing part of the GAMURS Group network, generating millions and millions of clicks each month. As our company continues to grow rapidly, we are in need of a managing editor to organize and oversee this content, acting as the primary point of contact regarding its health, viability, and expansion across a growing stable of websites.

Key aspects of the role include:

  • Managing a small team of writers who are focused on content that requires extensive research and daily updates
  • Sourcing new code stories or updates and writing or updating posts across multiple sites in the network
  • Maintaining a major, network-wide tracking document and assigning daily updates to the codes team
  • Monitoring Google Analytics and tracking code story performance across all sites in the network
  • Leading future codes or word game-related strategy initiatives, i.e. content rewrites or significant expansion
  • Working with each site's managing editor to promote the production of new code stories to freelance writers
  • Editing code stories and working with each site's managing editor to ensure standards are met
  • Creating and maintaining related internal guides, handbooks, and standards documentation
  • Liaising with SEO and editorial teams to ensure codes strategy is healthy
  • Serving as a backup for members of the codes team, with the ability to fill in when they're out or very busy

The ideal candidate will have several years of editing and management experience. This role is best suited for an obsessively organized person with an interest in data, spreadsheets, and analytics. While line editing is one crucial aspect of this job, much of it is organizing work across a network of websites and maintaining related documentation and daily calendars, in addition to general strategy and resource allocation. Broad knowledge of Roblox and similar platforms is also helpful but not required.

We are an international company, with our corporate office based in Sydney, Australia, and our editorial office based in Austin, Texas, and all work is remote (unless you live in Austin or are interested in relocating there). In addition to a supportive work environment focused on inidual and company growth, we offer a competitive benefits package that includes unlimited PTO, a 401(k) with matching contributions, and medical, dental, and vision insurance with a $0 monthly premium, in addition to other benefits like 10 paid holidays, 26 weeks paid parental leave after 12 months of employment and more.

How to apply

Please include a resume, a short cover letter describing your particular skills and experience as related to this position, and two or three writing or editing clips. Note that a cover letter and clips are required to be considered for this position.
