Our games are evocative and fun, capturing the pageantry and drama of warfare, and our miniatures are both historically faithful and packed with character and dynamism. We are looking for Community Managers to grow our wonderful hobby both locally and globally. What will the job involve? Building hobby communities by creating inspirational content - running painting and modelling demonstrations, organising inspiring gaming events that embrace all styles of play from competitive tournaments to narrative campaigns and acting as an ambassador for the hobby and the Warlord Games brand. You'll be doing this in-person at events and in stores, as well as posting online regularly to gain a highly engaged following, including livestreamed content. Who are we looking for?
