Gaming & Streaming Senior Manager

Are you passionate about driving value from audiences across gaming, streaming and online communities—and excited by the opportunity to turn that passion into meaningful impact?

Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity is looking for a Gaming and Streaming Senior Manager to help shape the future of one of the charity sector’s most exciting and ambitious growth areas.

This is a varied and high-impact role where you’ll combine commercial skills, relationship building, team leadership and strategic planning to grow our gaming and streaming fundraising programme. You’ll work across partnerships, creator communities, live events and industry engagement—helping us build deeper relationships within the gaming world while creating experiences that connect supporters to our mission in authentic and engaging ways.

We’re looking for someone who understands the culture and energy of the gaming and streaming space, and who can bring people together around ideas, opportunities and shared goals. Existing industry connections would be valuable, but just as important is commercial instinct, the ability to negotiate deals and manage projects that involve teams across an organisation.

You’ll lead a small but ambitious team and work closely with colleagues across the organisation, the hospital and external partners. This role requires someone who is highly collaborative and relationship-focused, but also confident influencing stakeholders, navigating complexity and driving momentum in a fast-moving environment.

You’ll also work closely with a high-energy senior leader, so we’re looking for someone who is proactive, resilient and comfortable balancing strategic thinking with hands-on delivery.

Salary
The salary for this role is £49,900 per annum and we operate a hybrid working policy of a minimum of 2 days per week in the office.

In line with our EDI strategy and Total Reward policy, we calculate our salaries based on benchmarking data across the charity sector. To ensure fairness for existing staff and new joiners, we do not offer salaries above the advertised rate.
