Esports Jobs FAQ

Common questions about finding jobs in the esports and gaming industry

What types of esports jobs are available?+

The esports industry offers diverse roles including professional players, coaches, analysts, content creators, streamers, shoutcasters, tournament organisers, event managers, marketing specialists, social media managers, broadcast producers, graphic designers, video editors, community managers, and many traditional business roles like HR, finance, and operations within gaming organisations.

How do I get a job in esports with no experience?+

Start by building relevant skills through volunteer work, freelance projects, or creating your own content. Join Discord communities, follow esports professionals on social media, and attend industry events to network. Consider internships or entry-level positions that can provide valuable industry experience. Build a portfolio showcasing your work, whether that is content, analysis, or event organisation.

What qualifications do I need for esports jobs?+

Requirements vary by role. Pro players need exceptional gaming skills and competitive experience. Coaches benefit from gaming knowledge and leadership abilities. Marketing and business roles may require relevant degrees, but practical experience often matters more than formal education in esports. Many employers value passion for gaming, portfolio work, and industry connections.

Are esports jobs remote or location-based?+

Many esports jobs offer remote work, especially content creation, social media management, and some coaching or analyst positions. However, event management, broadcast production, and team house positions typically require in-person attendance. Some organisations offer hybrid arrangements, and pro players often relocate to team facilities for training and competition.

What is the average salary for esports jobs?+

Salaries vary widely by role and organisation. Entry-level positions may start at £20,000-£30,000, while mid-level roles like content managers or coaches can earn £35,000-£60,000. Senior positions and executives can earn £100,000 or more. Top professional players earn millions from salaries, prize winnings, and sponsorships. Location and organisation size also significantly impact compensation.

Which companies hire for esports jobs?+

Major employers include esports organisations like Fnatic, Team Liquid, Cloud9, G2 Esports, and 100 Thieves. Game publishers like Riot Games, Blizzard, and Valve hire extensively. Tournament organisers like ESL FACEIT Group and BLAST employ broadcast and event staff. Streaming platforms like Twitch and YouTube Gaming, plus hardware companies like Razer and Logitech, also hire gaming professionals.

Can I work in esports without being a pro gamer?+

Absolutely. The esports industry needs professionals in marketing, business development, event management, broadcast production, journalism, community management, HR, finance, legal, and many other roles. While gaming knowledge is helpful, it is not always required. Many successful esports professionals came from traditional industries and brought transferable skills to gaming.

How competitive are esports jobs?+

Esports jobs are highly competitive due to industry passion and limited positions compared to applicants. Standing out requires demonstrable skills, a strong portfolio, and networking within the community. Entry-level positions can receive hundreds of applications. Gaining experience through volunteering, freelance work, or creating your own content gives you an advantage.

How do I become an esports coach?+

Start by developing deep game knowledge in your chosen title through high-level play or extensive analysis. Study professional matches, understand meta developments, and learn coaching methodologies. Gain experience coaching amateur or semi-pro teams, often on a volunteer basis initially. Build a track record of player development and team improvement to attract professional opportunities.

What skills are most valuable for esports careers?+

Beyond role-specific skills, valuable abilities include strong communication, adaptability to fast-paced environments, social media proficiency, content creation skills, data analysis, project management, and networking ability. Understanding multiple games and the broader esports ecosystem helps. Languages and cultural awareness are valuable for international organisations.
