Video Games & Interactive Entertainment

At Skydance Interactive, we believe in pushing the boundaries of what is possible in interactive entertainment. Innovation in game design, technology and storytelling is the passion that drives our agile studio of dedicated and talented game creators. Collaboration across all disciplines is vital to our success and is at the core of the inclusive culture we strive to foster every day.We empower our employees to take ownership of the features they develop and create their own solutions when challenges arise. As our studio grows, we want to bring even more risk-takers, innovators and diverse voices along for the ride as we continue to create the games that will defy convention and define the future of the medium.Skydance Interactive was formed in 2016 following Skydance’s acquisition of The Workshop Entertainment—an independent development studio founded by Treyarch veterans who built their reputation in the AAA console space working on hit titles such as Gears of War 4, XCom 2, Sorcery and The Evil Within. We set our sights on becoming the premiere studio in the burgeoning arena of Virtual Reality. Following the success of our first VR title Archangel, we elevated our ambition and tackled The Walking Dead universe in VR. The result was the 2020 genre-defining hit The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners which has gone on to earn nominations for awards like “Best VR/AR Game” at The Game Awards and “PC Game of the Year” at the Golden Joystick Awards.

Email Marketing Manager
Paramount Games — Growth & Marketing
Engagement: Freelance / Contract
Hours: Variable, TBD based on campaign volume

About the Role
Paramount Games is looking for a contractor/temporary Email Marketing Specialist to support campaign execution across our growing portfolio of titles. This is a hands-on, end-to-end role — you'll move fluidly between strategy and execution, owning everything from copy and build to deployment and reporting. You'll work closely with our in-house campaign and design teams, but you need to be able to operate independently and move fast.
This is not a strategy-only or copy-only role. The right person is equally comfortable writing subject lines and building journeys in Salesforce Marketing Cloud.
 
This is a temporary role anticipated to last approximately 6 months. Can be a temporary W2 employee or independent contractor if you have your own LLC.

What You'll Do
  • Partner with the campaign team to understand program goals, audience segments, and send cadence for each title and activation
  • Brief the design team on email creative needs and ensure assets are delivered on-spec for SFMC builds
  • Write email copy — subject lines, preview text, headlines, and body — that's on-brand, conversion-focused, and tailored to audience and beat
  • Build and QA emails in Salesforce Marketing Cloud using existing branded templates
  • Build and manage journeys in SFMC, including segmentation logic, send rules, and suppression lists
  • Set up and QA UTM tracking and ensure data capture flows are functioning correctly pre-send
  • Deploy emails and monitor send health, deliverability, and engagement metrics post-send
  • Manage IP health and sender reputation, flagging any deliverability issues proactively
  • Pull and interpret performance reports, surface insights and recommendations to the campaign team
  • Maintain organized, well-documented campaign records within SFMC

What You Bring
  • 5+ years of experience in email marketing, CRM marketing, or lifecycle marketing, with at least 3 years of hands-on Salesforce Marketing Cloud experience.
  • Hands-on SFMC experience — you've built, QA'd, and deployed in the platform, not just managed vendors who do
  • Strong email copywriting chops with a track record of writing for gaming, entertainment, or fan-driven audiences (a plus)
  • Familiarity with HTML/CSS email rendering, mobile optimization, and dark mode QA
  • Understanding of CRM best practices — segmentation, suppression, A/B testing, deliverability, IP warming
  • Comfort working across multiple titles or campaigns simultaneously with shifting priorities
  • Clear, direct communicator who can work cross-functionally with creative and campaign teams without heavy oversight

Nice to Have
  • Experience with landing page / email capture flow & tools
  • Background in games, entertainment, or IP-driven marketing
  • Familiarity with UTM architecture and analytics platforms (Adobe Analytics, GA)



Engagement Details
  • Freelance / contract, W-9 or corp-to-corp
  • Hours variable week-to-week based on campaign volume; estimated X–X hours/week
  • Remote; must be available for regular syncs during PT business hours 
The hourly rate for this role is $36 - $53.

Paramount, a Skydance Corporation is a diversified media company creating high quality, event-level entertainment for global audiences. The Company brings to life stories of immersive worlds across its feature film, television, interactive/games, and animation divisions.
