Gearbox Software – Frisco (Texas), United States – Esports / Events Program Manager – Full-time

This is a job that jumped right off the monitor, not because of the role itself but the company – Gearbox Software have dabbled with esports in the past. Sadly though, their MOBA-shooter hybrid Battleborn, was dead on arrival with Overwatch being released just weeks after.

The role itself requires 3+ years of experience in the gaming/esports industry, extensive esports knowledge, project management experience, with an acute attention to detail and strong business acumen and a bachelor degree or equivalent work experience.
