Remote Esports Coaching Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Remote Esports Coaching information

What is a remote esports coach?

Remote esports coaches are professionals who provide guidance and training to esports players or teams through online platforms rather than in-person sessions. They analyze gameplay, develop strategies, and help improve skills using tools like video calls, screen sharing, and other digital resources. Remote coaching allows for greater flexibility and access to expert advice regardless of geographic location. These coaches often specialize in specific games and tailor their coaching methods to each player's or team's needs.

What skills and qualifications are needed to thrive as a remote esports coach?

To thrive as a Remote Esports Coach, you need deep knowledge of competitive gaming, strategic analysis, and effective training methods, often supported by experience in esports competitions or coaching certifications. Familiarity with communication platforms like Discord, game-specific analytics tools, and video review software is essential. Leadership, motivational ability, and strong virtual communication skills help coaches inspire players and build cohesive teams remotely. These skills ensure effective guidance, player development, and team success in the highly competitive and digital esports environment.

What challenges do remote esports coaches face when working with distributed teams, and how can they overcome them?

Remote esports coaches often encounter challenges such as coordinating practice schedules across different time zones, maintaining effective communication, and fostering team cohesion without in-person interaction. To address these issues, successful coaches use collaborative tools like Discord or Slack for real-time communication, set clear expectations for availability, and organize regular virtual team meetings or bonding sessions. Proactively encouraging open dialogue and providing structured feedback also help build trust and ensure players stay engaged and motivated.

Our ideal candidate is a certified internet "culture vulture" who’s fluent in online trends and has a sixth sense of what might come next. We’re looking for someone with a broad range of skills who will be responsible for managing a content calendar and maintaining strategically-built communities, to ideating around larger social activations and pitching innovative content. Together with Creative and Marketing, you will be spearheading the social brand strategy for Rivalry, and focus on creating top tier content on a global scale.

We’re looking for your experience, unique taste and ideas to keep pushing this narrative and further expand the Rivalry universe.
Rivalry was fully remote before fully remote became a thing, which means that your role will be that as well, but ideally you work in a timezone that is +/- 3hrs EST. 

If you’ve made it this far we are sort of assuming you might be interested, so let’s keep going. Here is a bullet point list of things we’re looking for you to do, because what would a job application look like without one of these lists?

  • Pitch daily, weekly, & monthly content tailored to drive engagement on each of Rivalry’s social media channels.
  • Ensure the company’s Country Leads feel involved and able to collaborate on efforts where their localized expertise and partners can elevate an effort, or be an integral part of one. As a manager your role is to enhance and help leads develop ideas that can be fit for purpose on SoMe and achieve brand and business objectives.
  • Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok community management (knowledge of Youtube and SEO copy is a plus)
  • Monitor wider social conversations and competitor landscape
  • Write/revise social copy and scripting for social assets (i.e. crafting Instagram Stories, short video assets, pulling GIFs, etc.)
  • Qualitative and quantitative social performance analysis for weekly CM reports and campaign wrap reports
