The ideal candidate should have a solid knowledge of competitive PC gaming – the players, teams, games, and influencers who dominate and sustain the dialogue around competitive gaming in myriad social media channels, including Twitch, Twitter, Reddit, and more. They should also have superb writing skills, understand the terminology native to the competitive gaming market, and be able to work collaboratively with the Herman Miller editorial and marketing teams to generate new, fresh ideas for relevant marketing content and then chase down, research, and write this content on deadline.
