In real life you can’t, unfortunately, be a Tiefling Rogue. Nor can you be a human Cleric, like that one guy in that skit was. You can, however, be Wargamer’s next Editor which may or may not imbue you with some magical powers. We’re not liable for any disappointment caused there, or any failed attempts at casting fireball. Contact your insurance.
As Wargamer’s Editor, you’ll be in charge of planning the site’s content and video strategies, while simultaneously growing both its Discord community, and its reach. You’ll understand all of our core coverage points (Dungeons & Dragons, Magic: The Gathering, Warhammer, and board games), and be a bastion of nerdy knowledge at live events like Gen Con. You’ll need significant experience in leading and mentoring teams, writing, editing, and producing video, as well as a strong commercial understanding.
This opportunity is fully remote within the UK, and you’ll require a valid right-to-work. You can find all of the core details below, but don’t wait around: we’re closing the application pool on Monday, August 31.
