Community Manager
12-month temporary contract
We are Fatshark
We are a critically acclaimed Swedish video game studio with about 200 experienced and skilled developers. We are most well-known for the Warhammer: Vermintide franchise, but have also helped develop a number of AAA titles and we launched the highly anticipated game Warhammer 40,000: Darktide.
We have grown quite a bit over the last few years, but we still embrace the same values that we started with. We want to build the best first person co-op games together, in an approachable, fun and passion-driven way.
The role
As Community Manager, you’ll act as the bridge between our games and the people who play them. You'll be on the frontlines of player-facing conversation, engaging fans on our social channels, chatting in forums and Discord, and working with other teams to make sure the player voice is heard.
You’ll be part of our Marketing Team and report to the Community Lead.
This role is all about keeping the players updated with news from Fatshark games, handling the feedback loop between the community and our development teams, and coming up with new ways to engage the playerbase in-between bigger beats when we don’t have a lot of things to talk about.
As a person, you like the challenge of coming up with new ideas, you are not afraid to lead smaller-scale projects to increase engagement, and you thrive in a marketing team that is very close to our production pipeline. You are a clear communicator, have a proven track record in copywriting and you can maneuver working with big IP-holders. You are used to working in a fast-paced team and understand that sometimes plans need to be shifted when production chains move.
This is a 12-month temporary position with a possibility of becoming permanent.

Who are we?
When we put Fatshark to sea in 2007, we wanted to create a place where talented people would come together and create awesome games. We did, and Fatshark is today a studio and publisher where great ideas spawn and reach the hands of countless players.
Equally important to us, we’ve never lost the joy that goes into creating great games. Over the years, we have created a habitat in which all kinds of fatsharks can thrive.
Cooperation is key
At Fatshark, we develop and publish cooperative games, where people come together to have fun and solve problems together. In a Fatshark game, you are given the freedom to succeed or fail trying as a group. And that's exactly the way we like it. Through teamwork in our games and in our studio, 1+1=3.
