Epic Games is looking for a strategic and forward-thinking leader to support the Consumer organization, partnering across Marketing, Communications, Partnerships, Engagement, Monetization, and GTM teams. In this highly visible role, you’ll work closely with senior leadership to drive alignment, shape priorities, and lead cross-functional initiatives that fuel growth. You’ll operate at both the strategic and executional level—translating vision into actionable plans, managing key operating rhythms, and driving results across the organization.

• Lead Strategic Planning & Priority Alignment:
  Partner directly with Consumer leadership to define, structure, and drive strategic priorities and planning efforts. You’ll ensure these priorities reflect business objectives, are translated into clear work streams, and are executed - with a bias for action and measurable outcomes
• Drive Execution of Strategic Initiatives Across Consumer Functions:
  Own and advance high-priority Fortnite initiatives across marketing, communications, partnerships, monetization, and product. You’ll bring structure and momentum to efforts already in motion: clarifying goals, aligning stakeholders, tracking progress, and removing blockers to accelerate delivery
• Incubate and Stand Up New Growth Efforts:
  Identify and lead the creation of net-new initiatives identified by Epic’s leadership to unlock player and business growth. These projects will often start in ambiguous spaces, requiring you to define the problem, shape the strategic thesis, build cross-functional alignment, and operationalize quickly
• Leverage Data and Insights to Shape Strategy:
  Act as a thought partner in understanding Epic’s competitive landscape - connecting insights across functions to assess risks, identify opportunities, and guide long-term planning. This includes both Fortnite, Rocket League, Fall Guys and Unreal Engine businesses. You’ll contribute to market analysis, competitive benchmarking, and the integration of internal and external data to inform strategy and change management
• Run Business Operations:
  Design and lead the operating rhythm for the Consumer org, including leadership team meetings, planning forums, quarterly reviews, and integrated enterprise check-ins. You’ll be data-driven and fluent in all key KPI’s, bringing structure and efficiency into how we are tracking progress against growth and priorities
• Create Faster Integration and Cohesion:
  Act as a trusted thought partner to Consumer executives by leaning into messy, complex challenges that lack clear pathways. You’ll bring clarity, structure, and movement to top-priority issues that span teams, don’t fall neatly into existing work streams, or require urgent executive-level problem-solving
• Communicate with Clarity and Connect Strategy to Culture:
  Collaborate on executive-level communications, pre-reads, and presentations that clarify direction and align teams. Collaborate with key leads and messaging stakeholders to maintain a high quality bar for internal and external outputs, while reinforcing organizational cohesion and connecting execution to Epic’s broader mission
