Job Description:
Director - Player Journey, Demand Generation
Who We Are
Founded in 2005, the 2K label includes some of the most talented
game development studios in the world today including: Firaxis
Games, Visual Concepts, Hangar 13, 2K Czech and Cat Daddy Games.
Our world-class team of engineers, developers, graphic artists and
publishing professionals are stewards of a growing library of
critically-acclaimed franchises such as Battleborn, BioShock,
Borderlands, The Darkness, Mafia, NBA 2K, Sid Meier's Civilization,
WWE 2K, and XCOM. 2K is headquartered in Novato, California and is
a wholly owned label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.
(NASDAQ: TTWO).
2K develops and publishes interactive entertainment globally for
console systems, handheld gaming systems and personal computers,
including smartphones and tablets, which are delivered through
physical retail, digital download, online platforms, and cloud
streaming services. 2K publishes titles in today's most popular
gaming genres, including shooters, action, role-playing, strategy,
sports, casual, and family entertainment.
Our vision at 2K is to create a diverse and inclusion environment
to "Come as You are and Feel Equipped to do Your Best Work!" We are
dedicated to promoting diversity, multiculturalism, and equality in
all that we do. Our communities are focused on increased access and
personal growth, and their greatness depends on a diversity of
race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, national
origin, and perspective. We're an equal opportunity employer, and
we're excited to build the future of co-living with the world's
most hardworking and passionate people.
What We Need
The Director of Player Journey is a newly created position in the
Demand Generation department that is instrumental to the future
strategy of 2K.
2K has a diverse range of products that have operated as product
specific categories and our focus now is to develop a strategy that
looks at a complete player journey across all touchpoints as
opposed to individual games; or individual touchpoints by
discipline/function.
This person will be charged with creating and implementing a
cross-portfolio player journey strategy. This strategy should
include a technology roadmap and data capture strategy for both
owned and external data; both in and out of game. The role will be
a highly cross-functional one with the successful candidate being
required to establish relationships with teams across both 2K and
our partners (both retail and first party). These partners will be
crucial in both shaping the strategy - but also in providing
assistance in its implementation.
The technology and data infrastructure requirements developed as a
result of this strategy will be built by a multidisciplinary team
across 2K and T2 - with the Director of Player Journey being the
lead role and customer to various technology partners. As a result
the successful candidate will be comfortable delving into technical
discussions - without necessarily needing to be a technology
authority themselves.
Acknowledging that any strategy is only as good as its execution
this role will also be involved in operationalizing the agreed
strategy. This will include defining and implementing testing plans
that bring scale across our player base, individual games and
across the entire 2K portfolio. You will work at the cutting edge
of marketing innovation - working with developers across our games
to optimize the player experience and messaging to ensure that 2K's
players are improving the value they derive from their gaming
experience.
This position is ideal for a hardworking and high-reaching marketer
who is both transformational to drive the future strategy, but also
rigorously focused on the detail and best possible execution and
can speak technical language.
What You Will Do
Work with internal technology teams to develop and prioritize a
roadmap to deliver enhanced marketing capabilities for executional
teams.
Work with partners to appropriately and respectfully enrich player
profiles to allow our marketing campaigns to reward users for
engagement.
Ensure that player focused marketing strategies are enhanced across
our existing owned and earned channels.
Work with members of the marketing and growth teams to develop
global marketing strategies that focus on increasing engagement
both within and across our franchises.
Work with technology and analytics focused teams to build
requirements for future development related to our CRM
capabilities, in-game ad platforms and push notifications
strategies.
Hold technology teams accountable for delivery of these
requirements and work with them to unblock the team where
appropriate.
Work with multiple partners across the business to ensure alignment
on strategy and the effective delivery of marketing plans.
Socialize Strategies & Results: Create information resources,
namely PowerPoint decks, to share and present information within
2KDG and externally.
Who We Think Will Be A Great Fit
Bachelor's Degree or equivalent experience
7+ Years of experience required in a leadership role
Self Starter and quick learner with the confidence and ability to
take on new initiatives with little guidance.
Expert knowledge of Digital Marketing strategies required.
Knowledge of product development processes and AGILE approaches to
development are a strong advantage.
A genuine interest in pushing the boundaries on marketing
strategies and capabilities within 2K.
Experience of using data to create stories for high level
consumption.
Highly numerate with strong analytical skills. Ability to quickly
digest large amounts of data, perform analysis and identify trends
to make data-based business decisions. Excel expertise.
Excellent attention to detail.
We will ensure that individuals with disabilities are provided
reasonable accommodation to participate in the job application or
interview process, to perform essential job functions, and to
receive other benefits and privileges of employment. Please contact
us to request accommodation.
