Job Description
Established in 1985 to focus on the expanding console market, we partnered with a top gaming company and quickly sealed a reputation for quality with many popular titles.

After a colossally successful run of titles throughout the 1990s, our company acquired another in 2002, and since then have supported and debuted major gaming titles. Subsequent years saw us innovate with more well known franchises, plus our pioneering work on Avatars.

From helping to organise fan events to thinking outside the box on customer loyalty, the Community Manager will work closely with game, production and communications teams to deliver amazing and original experiences for our most engaged fans.

In more recent years, our investigations into cutting-edge motion control resulted in the multi-million-selling, double BAFTA-winning sports gaming series. With development now firmly established for our software, we're hard at work here in our custom-built English countryside HQ, galvanised by the opportunity to celebrate our incredible heritage with an anniversary collection while looking ahead to brand new shared world adventures in a more recent title. Here's to 30 more years!
