Games Workshop has an exciting opportunity for a Warhammer Editorial Manager to join our studio team to set the direction and ambition for the writing and editorial teams, and to deliver ever-better Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar books and games through world class writing and editing.
Passionate about people, driven, and an experienced manager, you’ll be the ultimate guardian of editorial quality for our products as you define quality standards and guide the teams’ activities from research and development to IP ideation and mainline production. Through setting clear goals and monitoring individual progress on projects, you’ll coach, lead and inspire the background writing and editorial teams to continuously improve the quality and efficiency of their writing and editing, across all modes of writing and product types, from Codexes and Battletomes to core books, narrative expansions, boxed games and more.
You’ll work closely with key contacts in the studio, particularly our creative leads, to gain key information and ensure the correct IP, tone and atmosphere are being delivered and presented in our products. You’ll build a network of strong relationships with wider business teams, including Product Developers and Planners, as you allocate appropriate resources for projects and schedule all work for the writers and editors.
Highly organised and with an attention to detail, you’ll manage multiple workstreams, people and budgets to deliver across multiple projects simultaneously. We’ll look to you to analyse and interpret data outputs from KPI’s and customer opinion to improve editorial quality and products.
We are looking for someone who has a strong understanding of how commercial writing studios operate and who thrives in managing creative teams and delivering world-class copy and best-in-class creative writing for Games Workshop’s biggest IPs.
