About The Role
Spud Gun Studios is an independent animation company with big ambitions and a track record to back them up. We run Mashed, one of the UK’s biggest and boldest animation channels, with over 7 million followers and billions of views. And we are just getting started.
We are looking for someone full time to help take our audience engagement to the next level. Most of your time will be spent on Mashed, growing our fanbase, deepening our connection with the community and turning casual viewers into Mashed+ members. But this role is bigger than just one channel.
We are building new shows, launching new brands and expanding our membership offering. We need someone who is excited to grow with us.
You do not need loads of experience. You just need smart ideas, fresh energy and a genuine love of animation, gaming and online culture. If you know how to connect with people and want to help shape the future of digital fandom, we want to hear from you.

* Use data to track what is working, what is not and where we should go next
What We Are Looking For
* A natural communicator who knows how to grab attention and keep people engaged
* Experience in audience development, social media, community building or a similar area
* Someone with a basic understanding of video editing and subtitling to clip up content
* A solid understanding of YouTube, fandoms and how digital communities work
* A passion for animation, gaming and online culture
* Strong instincts for what gets people to watch, share and support
* Comfortable using YouTube Studio and basic analytics tools
* Bonus if you have experience with Discord, Patreon, YouTube Memberships or campaign-based marketing
What You Get
* Salary of £28,000 to £32,000 depending on experience
* One year contract with potential to extend
* 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
* Hybrid or remote working options (UK based)
* The chance to help shape the future of a leading UK animation brand
