We believe in a future where everyone is a gamer and everyone can create, compete, collaborate and connect through games, and we are looking for the right people to help us build that future.

We have one of the most exciting roadmaps in the industry, and are actively developing and publishing a portfolio of original IP and high-ambition games we hope players love and play for years to come.

You are a seasoned community expert with cross platform, free-to-play and live ops game experience. You have launched games before, and you understand the success of games-as-a-service is dependent on the passionate game communities we serve. You are committed to building a strong relationship between people that play games and people that make them.

You will need to thrive and deliver results in an ambiguous and fast-paced business environment, operating across multiple locales, teams and levels in the organisation.

You hold yourself to exceptionally high standards and exemplify customer obsession.
You will have experience of leading, inspiring and developing a team of community managers.
