Want to work on Football Manager? We're looking for game designers

[Neil Brock]

If you’re reading this post on these forums, it’s more than likely you’re a fan of Football Manager and enjoy spending time playing the game, creating your own story.

What we’re looking for is creators – people with experience within the games industry, designers who want to take the next step in their careers.

Design is a hugely important part of Football Manager and as we look to grow our team, we’re interested in hearing from people who have created games and have a keen interest in football and FM.

We're looking for people with a deep sense of empathy who can work in a multidisciplinary team of designers, producers, artists, programmers and QA. Those who have a good understanding of systems design, and experience with Excel, Machinations or other similar software.

It may be that you already engage with FM in deep and meaningful ways, like heavy theorycrafting around gameplay modules such as player development or training. What better way to do so than by having an opportunity to directly influence the future of Football Manager?

As part of design applications, we require a portfolio of released projects (games, blog posts, reviews), your CV and covering letter and you must have a right to work in the UK (but we do offer flexible working opportunities including the ability to work from home). You can see a full breakdown of the role and apply here - https://www.sigames.com/vacancy/game-designer-junior-senior

For those of you who would love to work for Sports Interactive but unfortunately don’t have the relevant experience for the above, we do always keep our careers page updated with available roles, so please do check that out to see if there’s anything more suitable for you - https://www.sigames.com/careers

We've opened this up further beyond what was originally posted above, as we're also looking for more junior designers too. I've updated the link above to the relevant role.

We've also created an exciting new position for a UX Researcher which relates to playtesting and the psychology behind FM as detailed here - https://www.sigames.com/vacancy/ux-researcher

As always, we're constantly adding new roles to our Careers page, so please do keep an eye out for an opportunity to join the team.
