• Good working knowledge of video editing software (eg, Final Cut / Adobe Premiere)
• Ability to manage your own schedule to produce video content to the highest standards while sometimes working under time pressures. Great attention to detail

• Extensive knowledge of video games across a wide range of genres, with a particular focus on the highest-profile new releases and most-played games on Nintendo Switch / Nintendo Switch 2

• General familiarity with the video publishing environment
• An interest in the technology, entertainment, and lifestyle sectors in general
  
  

APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS:

Please include a short (3 to 5 minute) face-to-camera video with your application so we can get a feel for your presentation style and personality. This does not need to be a full production, a simple well-lit recording is fine.

In your video, please:

• Tell us a bit about yourself
• Share your three favourite Nintendo franchises and why
• Tell us about your favourite leftfield or obscure Nintendo game and why you love it
• Include anything else you feel is important for us to know about you and your work
  
  

Please also include links to recent examples of your video work. Applications without a dedicated video and examples of your work will be much harder for us to assess.

CLOSING DATE: 24th December 2025, please submit your application before the end of Christmas Eve!
