The Roucan Events & Content team (creators of W.A.S.D) are hiring! Our current vacancies are listed below. We’re always interested in hearing from talented and enthusiastic people so if you don’t see a suitable vacancy below we encourage you to send a speculative application to jobs at roucan dot co dot uk.

Video Game Events and Marketing Internship

Roucan, creators of W.A.S.D, are looking for a paid intern to join on a remote basis. The internship will last for at least three months with the potential for an extension.

Not to brag but the Roucan team are experts in the video game events arena, having produced the UK’s biggest games expo, EGX, for many years. We’re now doing our own thing, launching new events like W.A.S.D, and working on all kinds of projects for our games industry clients.

Need-to-knows

  • This is a fully remote position but you’ll need to be UK based in order to attend events, on-site meetings etc.

  • Internship length will be a minimum of three months.

  • This is a paid position based on 20 hours per week.

  • This internship would suit anyone who loves video games and events, and is interested in pursuing a career in marketing, sales or event production.

About the role

As part of a small team your work will be varied and no two days are likely to be the same. You’ll get involved with: 

  • Marketing - Help us figure out the best ways to get the word out about W.A.S.D and our other projects. This could include influencer marketing, email marketing or SEO & SEM.

  • Admin - Events are built on a thousand and one spreadsheets. Help us to keep track of kit requirements, manage press pass applications or allocate exhibitor passes.

  • Social media - Get involved with the W.A.S.D and other events social media channels - Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Help create ads and organic posts across these channels. 

  • Sales - Don’t panic, this isn’t Boiler Room and you won’t be cold calling strangers. We may ask you to get in touch with an indie developer who wants to exhibit at W.A.S.D, for example.

  • Account Management - Make sure our clients are happy and have everything they need.

  • Event Production - Assist our Production Manager in the planning of W.A.S.D and other event projects. This could involve liaising with suppliers, helping to produce a show guide and making a signage schedule.

About you

This is an internship so we aren’t expecting you to have all the answers. If you have experience in any of the areas above then great! If not, don't worry. Your attitude and desire to learn are much more important to us.

  • You love video games. Not just playing them but reading about them, going to events and absorbing all the information you can about them.

  • Experience of Microsoft Office and / or Google Docs Editors in particular Excel / Sheets.

  • You have a great understanding of each social media platform.

  • You relish learning and like to tackle challenges head-on. Events work is fun but you’re working to an immovable deadline which can be stressful.

Blow our minds

If you can demonstrate any of the following then you’re in with a great shout.

  • You’ve worked on or volunteered at an event (could be games, pop culture or similar).

  • Formal qualifications in marketing or event production.

  • Design experience. Ability to edit images and / or videos. 

  • Sales experience.
