This doesn't happen every day: we have a couple of new opportunities to join our writing team here at Eurogamer. Both are working on the game guides that we introduced in 2014, and that we are now looking to expand on, improve, and integrate more closely with the rest of what we do.The posts, advertised in full at GamesIndustry.biz, are Guides Editor and Guides Writer. John Bedford, our current Guides Editor, will soon be leaving Eurogamer to work full-time on his passion project - our sister site MetaBomb, which has recently added Heroes of the Storm and Overwatch to its bottomless well of Hearthstone geekery. We're looking for someone who can replace John's amazing tenacity and attention to detail and lead Eurogamer guides into a new era. (John's sunny demeanour, Abba humalongs and collection of striped blue shirts are, of course, irreplaceable.) The Guides Writer is a new post, intended to allow us to bring more guides creation in-house, and give us more flexibility and firepower in the tough and time-sensitive business of creating game guides. Both are based in our Brighton office.
The Guides Editor post would perhaps suit someone with experience in journalism or web publishing, but we're keeping an open mind. This person will work closely with me, the Guides Writer and the rest of the Eurogamer team in selecting, speccing out, creating, editing and publishing our game guides. Organisation, accuracy, a deep love of games, and of course a wonderful, clear writing style are a must. A good understanding of search engine optimisation (SEO) would be a plus.
