We love writing about PlayStation here at Push Square, but apparently the younger generation aren’t quite as fond of the written word. We’ve been meddling with YouTube for several years now, and we’ve published some cracking content in that time. However, with the PlayStation 5 around the corner, we feel that it’s the right moment to make a concerted effort in this space.
We’re currently looking for a talented video producer/presenter/editor who can lead the charge and service our already considerable YouTube following while helping us to grow the platform. We want someone with experience both in-front and behind the camera; someone with an engaging attitude and a fun, creative approach. Most importantly, though, we want someone who loves PlayStation as much as we do.
You can find out more about the job specification, including where to apply, over on Games Industry. Primarily we're looking to find someone in the UK, but we read every single application, so if you think you’ve got what it takes and fancy helping grow the biggest PlayStation website on Planet Earth, then we can’t wait to hear from you.

I'll be happy to field some questions about the role in here, but your best bet is referring to the Games Industry job specification and sending an application.
Cheers!
Just please don't become Outside Xbox and do video only. I can't watch videos with audio at work so the written word is all I have to get my gaming news.
Signed
Paging Ben and Ben, time to come home boys.
"apparently the younger generation aren’t quite as fond of the written word"
Dats cuz dey carnt red tings wot iz splt rite, innit. u need lern too rite proply. if uz boocher it, dey wil com.
I nominate @kyleforrester87
I think the lead in is supposed to be "Hey guys"
@get2sammyb This guy needs a new job. 😂

Good luck w/ the search. And if any qualified woman applies hire her, this site, along w/ NL, is way too male ratioed.
Neat.
I have no problem running my own channels, but it would make me nervous as hell running a big channel like PushSquare lol.
@Octane Hey, you laugh but I have a HND (OOOOooo!) in media specialising in video editing (Okay, so i laugh, too). But for reals before I sold my soul I used to film and edit corporate videos, weddings, even had a few music videos on MTV and stuff for a local channel. Used to use Final Cut, Premiere and After Effects. BooOOoooooom back at ya!!!
@get2sammyb Sounds like we need to get @kyleforrester87 in for an interview
@Quintumply so i literally just flipped my desk and im on my way to the train station now
@kyleforrester87 MTV still shows music videos???
@ellsworth004 They did 13 years ago!
Surprised the job description doesn't include "Heeeeelllllllooooo there lovely peeeeeople".
Good luck to anyone from here who applies!
i can barely run my own channel so no chance
Hey, if it was anything other than videos, I’d apply since I have experience writing about games. Unfortunately, I’m one of those people with atrocious stage fright and am currently thinking of the best way to injure myself so that I can get out of an oral exam next week 😅
@nessisonett stick some pencils up your nose and headbutt a desk?
I can make a cracking cuppa if you need help in Push Square towers?
As guy with 3 subscribers from ShareFactory videos, I think I've got this!
If I can guarantee that I'll start arguing with everyone who leaves a comment on the video, does that get me shortlisted?
Is the position still open?
@AlexOlney Depends on how lovely you are in front of the camera.
@Octane I am not even joking, I would watch and moderate @kyleforrester87 YouTube vids all the live long day.
This is honestly my dream job but:
A) My video editing skills are ok to average at best.
B) I have a far less interesting job but at least I can do it half as*ed
C) I have a face people want to punch
D) I have heard Sammy gets waaaay to drunk and embarrassing at staff parties.
Probably C is the biggest issue.
@LieutenantFatman No, I disagree with your comment.
@AlexOlney haha haven’t you got enough Nintendo videos to do?! 😆
Anyway would love to do this but I suck in front of a camera so probably wouldn’t be very good. I can definitely do the playing PlayStation part well though!
@Rudy_Manchego I have been thinking a lot about how much time I spend on here, hanging out and chatting with you guys, and the thing is, for me, it’s really important that I never, ever, mix business with pleasure.
Considering that, I had absolutely no issue at all submitting my application, and I can’t wait to be the face of Push Square.
Always loved the idea of having a pop at getting into the industry, especially when I was a bit younger. Without blowing my own trumpet, I reckon I have a pretty encyclopaedic knowledge of all things Playstation (and even more in depth of knowledge in respect of the Commodore 64 and Amiga, what with being an old codger!) and have have been told I have a very entertaining way of delivering content (I deliver technical/legal training in the civil service as a day job).
Alas, I was dealt a cruel blow at 23 years old when all my hair fell out (it was about the time I got wed and my daughter came along weirdly enough) and this only accentuates my 'characterful' facial features - I have a face for radio unfortunately!
In all seriousness, good luck to any who apply and I am excited to hear that PushSquare will have more of a presence on Youtube.
@kyleforrester87 Ha ha, to be honest with that reply you should actually be running in the election for MP.
@Kidfried Alas one Ben is doing regular videos on Triple Jump which I highly recommend!
@kyleforrester87 Now when you say you can't wait to be the face of Push Square, that face actually is just Big Boss grinning and wearing a Santa hat right?
I’ve been setting up a playstation 3 centric youtube channel for a few months now which is supposed to be a mix between metal jesus rocks, somecallmejohhny and a little bit of caddicarus. Might as well do it for my favorite website. 😂
@Giygas_95 think Raiden strapped naked to a bed while a guy named Solidus strangles him with his tentacles and you’re closer to the kind of videos I’d produce for the site.
Please hire @kyleforrester87.
I just wanna see if his face matches the level of punchability I've always attributed to it 😘
You guys need someone like Josh from Ragegaming with Cotton or Jim Sterling or me talking like Ryu from Shenmue and hating on Xbone all the time with some jokes about Nintendo in between, joking aside I'm glad you guys are growing good luck
I know a lot of people like being on camera. However this week in my own job we launched CitNow - its a video platform to showcase cars and stuff before customers come down. After the first couple of attempts by my team I was like, this stuffs way harder than it looks.
Thinking about how you smile, remembering lines, speaking to fresh air etc So yeah Im stepping back and being well and truly behind the camera.
Good luck to anyone who applies. If you need an intro jingle or sound effects give me a shout (made in dreams of course).
This must be the reason Ibrahimovic left Los Angeles! Can't wait for his video-review of Wattam.
I'm waiting for Alex Olney's secret twin brother to be the new presenter
@andreoni79 never thought about that, it must be it 😂
I used to go to PlayStation Access (apparently PS UK blog) but stopped when they went heavy into YT. Didn't bother me much because I had PushSquare to fall back on. But if you go there's not really anywhere else I go to regularly anymore and in my opinion nothing I'd want to. Sigh. The death of literacy continues...
@Cycologist it won't affect the output on the website, it's just to complement it for the people who prefer video
I have 10k views on a 1:13 YouTube vid.. just saying... Big stuff going on, BIG stuff... hahaha!
Are you sure you don't want the Oscar Wilde wannabe on NL?
@antdickens mostly younger people prefer video - kuzdey kant reed! and I'm old AF. When I took computers in school we had to program on Apple II's & 5 1/2 floppies. Glad to hear the words remain for now.
