About the Team
The Twitch community is like no other - a passionate and engaged group of creators and active participants who are uniquely invested in what we’re all building together. The Marketing & Communications team at Twitch serves to authentically activate the Twitch community (and beyond) in ways that inform and inspire. Members of our team work across a range of areas including internal and external communications, content & partnerships, creative services, and marketing strategy.
About the Role
Twitch is where millions of people show up every day to watch, create, and build communities around the things they love—from sports and gaming to music, art, and everyday life. Creators and communities on Twitch are shaping culture, and we’re looking for a Global Communications Lead to help tell those stories around the world.
In this role, you’ll help define how Twitch shows up across key international markets—building understanding of what Twitch is, who it’s for, and why it matters. You’ll bring our global story to life locally, translating what’s happening on the service into narratives that resonate with regional audiences and media.
That might mean spotlighting a creator who’s built a thriving community, helping explain new product features, or sharing how livestreaming is influencing culture in real time. You’ll work closely with agencies, regional teams, and cross-functional partners to drive proactive storytelling, while helping ensure Twitch communicates clearly and responsibly across markets.

- Existing relationships with international media across business, tech, and culture beats
- Excellent writing and editing skills, with the ability to quickly craft smart messaging and executive talking points
- A track record of managing multiple agency partners across geographies and time zones
- Strong judgement, calm under pressure, and comfortable managing complexity and ambiguity
- Enthusiasm for Twitch’s creator culture, audience, and global mission
Bonus Points
- Proficiency in a second language (especially German, Spanish, Portuguese, or Japanese)
- Experience working with livestreaming, creator economy, or digital media platforms
- Familiarity with international policy or regulatory environments relevant to online platforms
