What were looking for:
* Familiarity with RuneScape, the MMORPG category and the wider gaming industry
* Proven experience creating short-form video and social-first content
* Fluency in gaming culture, from Reddit threads to TikTok trends
* Strong organisational skills and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, community-driven environment
* Confidence operating independently within a defined strategic framework
