What the Role Entails

Key Responsibilities

Regional LiveOps & Event Scheduling

  • Time Zone Navigation: Master the complex scheduling of Daily Resets, patch deployments, and time-limited events across 5 distinct time zones (from PST to BRT), mitigating player friction caused by Daylight Saving Time (DST) discrepancies.
  • Local Event Operations: Plan and execute hyper-local in-game and community events tied to major cultural beats (e.g., Carnaval, Dia de los Muertos, Super Bowl) and regional esports tournaments.

Who We Look For

 Qualifications

  • Language Proficiency: Native or near-native fluency in English AND/OR Spanish/Portuguese, with excellent command of Mandarin Chinese (to communicate seamlessly with the HQ/Dev team). Trilingual candidates are highly preferred.
  • Industry Experience: 3+ years in game publishing, localization, or regional operations. Proven experience in mid-to-hardcore games (specifically FPS/TPS/Battle Royale) within the Americas market is a massive plus.
  • Cultural Fingerprint: Deep, current understanding of Americas pop culture. You know who NA hardcore players watch on Twitch, and what Reggaeton/Trap artists (e.g., Karol G, Peso Pluma) LATAM players listen to on TikTok.
  • Data-Driven Mindset: Ability to move beyond intuition; capable of analyzing A/B test data for localized creatives to improve CTR and CVR.

🌟 Bonus Points

  • Lived, studied, or worked extensively in the US, Mexico, or Brazil.
  • An active, hardcore player of competitive shooters (e.g., PUBG Mobile, COD Mobile, Free Fire, Valorant), with a critical eye for their localization strengths and weaknesses.
