About BLAST

At BLAST, we're all about creating extraordinary live and digital experiences - from arena packing esports tournaments to unforgettable content that engages fans around the globe. We Make It Bold by challenging the norm and delivering fresh, creative formats that redefine what's possible in the industry. We Make It Together by building close, collaborative partnerships with world leading game publishers and brands to produce truly world class results. And we Make It Happen by bringing energy, precision, and a problem solving mindset to everything we do - across games like Counter Strike, DOTA 2, Rainbow Six Siege, Rocket League, and Fortnite.

If you thrive in a fast paced, collaborative environment and share our passion for pushing boundaries, we'd love to hear from you.

The Team

You'll join BLAST's Growth & Audience team, working closely with content, production, social, and external partners to elevate our YouTube ecosystem. You'll be the go to specialist for our suite of YouTube channels, collaborating across teams to optimise performance, streamline workflows, and support the expansion of our creator network.

The Role

In this hands on role, you'll split your time between managing and improving our owned YouTube channels and coordinating the onboarding of gaming creators into our network. It's a great opportunity for someone passionate about YouTube, comfortable working across multiple channels, and eager to gain experience in both content optimisation and creator partnerships within the esports industry.
