About the Job

Games Workshop has an exciting opportunity for a Design Manager to manage the development of our amazing Warhammer 40,000 books and games, and ensure they are produced to a high quality, efficiently and on time.

In this exciting and pivotal role, you will utilise your in depth knowledge and appreciation for Warhammer 40,000 coupled with a talent for project management to coordinate teams across the Studio, ensuring timely, high-quality delivery to ambitious financial goals every time.

Industrious and focussed on making sure all Warhammer 40,000 books and games are fit for purpose, we'll look to you to own and communicate detailed product specifications to align with targets and contribute to Games Workshop's success. Collaboration with our Merchandising and Marketing teams will be second nature, ensuring cross-functional efforts harmonise with the Warhammer 40,000 vision.

Organised and thorough, you will develop clear, comprehensive briefing documents. Calm under pressure, you'll navigate challenges and find solutions to keep projects on track and you will be responsible for ensuring the quality meets Games Workshop's and our customers expectations in terms of gameplay, art and IP and overall experience.

This is a fast paced and demanding role, so we'll look to you to demonstrate you have significant experience in delivering multiple projects to high quality and on time. Due to the nature of the role, experience of working as a Producer in Video games, Media or Tabletop Gaming or publishing industry would be advantageous.
