Обязанности

  Americas operates as the regional publishing arm of a Seoul-headquartered global studio, supporting a portfolio that includes the PUBG and Subnautica franchises. You will join a close-knit, high-accountability publishing team that works across multiple titles simultaneously, partnering closely with a cross-functional team of publishing craft experts. Our GPD counterparts own global strategy; our team's value lies in bringing deep regional expertise, agile execution, and a clear player perspective to the table.
As Principal Brand Strategist, you'll be the team's brand authority across that full surface: stewarding creative quality on live paid media campaigns, servicing brand requests from our GPD partners, and bringing brand and product identity to the strategic pitches the team carries to executive leadership. You'll also lend your brand and publishing skillset across the team's active workstreams, spanning both announced and unannounced titles. The mandate is deliberately broad, spanning upstream brand strategy and downstream creative stewardship, and it requires someone who can hold the quality bar in both.
This is a 6 month W2 contract. 
Own brand stewardship across the team's paid media campaigns, including copy and creative review and approval recommendations
Provide direct, actionable feedback to creative teams, media partners, and agencies on campaign assets

Set and uphold creative quality standards across team outputs, from campaign assets to executive presentations
Advise team leadership on brand architecture, campaign strategy, and creative resourcing
Coordinate brand consistency across regional campaign work and global franchise guidelines
Contribute to audience and community insight development for the Americas markets
