We are a celebratory site that reminds readers that games and entertainment are a force for good and for bringing people together. We're that voice of your pal bringing you cool tidbits of game trivia, awesome secrets to find, hidden gems, behind-the-scenes details, and more as we guide you to the best things to be watching, playing, and reading.

As Managing Editor, Reviews and Evergreens, you'll be responsible for growing, maintaining, and enhancing the evergreen content output of the site. This will require intricate knowledge of SEO tools, including Google Analytics, and the ability to work independently and with our Audience Development team to identify missing gaps and opportunities.

The role will also include the management of the gaming review vertical, including commissioning and editing reviews for key titles for the site. This will also involve working closely with the Senior Guides Co-ordinator and Video Producer for coverage of the major releases. You'll also be responsible for co-ordinating with the Entertainment Editor on TV and Movie reviews, and liaising with the Hardware Team for their review strategy.

  • A passion for - and thorough understanding of - Gaming and Entertainment.
  • Good knowledge of the key social channels, and how to use them to best amplify GR’s content.
