PitStop are looking for a highly organised and ambitious Business Development & Marketing Coordinator to join our team in South Yorkshire.
PitStop are an independently owned provider of audio services to the video games industry, working with clients across the world on a range of titles from indie to AAA, including studios such as Sony, Microsoft, Larian, and Gearbox Sotware.
In this role you will be supporting a passionate team of creatives based in South Yorkshire and London, across the Voiceover, Sound Design, Music, VFX, and Animation departments. We offer a collaborative environment where innovation and creative ideas are welcomed, and where individuals are trusted to take ownership and make a visible impact. This role provides strong exposure to the wider business, with opportunities for quick learning, career progression, and development into client-facing responsibilities over time. You will work closely with like-minded colleagues who are passionate about both creativity and the commercial success of the business.

Working closely with Leadership and the wider Business Development team, you'll support client outreach, conference planning, marketing coordination, and maintaining the materials and processes that help us showcase ourselves to prospective partners.
