Description & Requirements

Electronic Arts creates next-level entertainment experiences that inspire players and fans around the world. Here, everyone is part of the story. Part of a community that connects across the globe. A place where creativity thrives, new perspectives are invited, and ideas matter. A team where everyone makes play happen.

Welcome to Maxis, home to tinkerers, craftspeople, & storytellers. Our drive is to inspire everyone to make a better world through creative play. As the developer of The Sims, we create games and experiences for millions of people around the world and are always looking for new ways to inspire our players.

In addition to experience as a community manager, you should have familiarity with or an active interest in game development. You will join a team focused on delivering creator-made content, and will oversee the launch of new Creator Kits as we scale this opportunity to more creators. This position is unique—while you will receive guidance, mentorship, and career development support from other senior community managers, you will be a member of the Maxis studio reporting to a Production Director on The Sims 4.
