Supercell

External Development Manager

Helsinki

FULL TIME

October 28, 2024

We're looking for an External Development Manager to level up the way we work with external co-development. At Supercell we strongly believe the best teams make the best games. You believe that too and are passionate about sourcing the very best external developers to complement our internal game teams. You will be working closely with teams developing and operating global hit games like Brawl Stars, Clash of Clans and more, as well as exciting new titles that are yet to be announced.
If you have a proven track record of managing successful partnerships and mastery of co-development, we need you to help us define the next chapter in Supercell’s resourcing playbook.

Responsibilities

Scout, engage, and integrate external game development partners to meet Supercell's creative and operational needs.
Build strong, productive relationships with internal game teams and external partners, facilitating a structured feedback loop for continuous improvement.
Participate in and represent Supercell at international industry events, scouting and building a network of potential world-class partners.
Champion a culture of co-development where constant learning from external partnerships is encouraged inside Supercell.
Stay up to date on the latest trends in co-development, leveraging insights to keep Supercell's practices innovative and aligned with the industry’s best practices.
Optimize partnership processes by developing efficient internal workflows, selecting appropriate project management tools, and streamlining communication and task assignments with external partners.
Collaborate closely with Supercell’s game teams as well legal, admin and IT teams to ensure success in all aspects of co-development relationships.

Requirements

5+ years experience in a leadership role in game development, with at least one shipped game title under your belt. You have worked in a game development team, and understand what makes a great team. Mobile and/or free-to-play experience is considered a big plus.
Experience working with external co-development studios.
Excellent communication and coordination skills. Ability to simultaneously manage 10+ internal team relationships while efficiently handling dozens of open conversations with a large number of established and potential partners.
Skilled in negotiation and conflict resolution, with a focus on creating long-term win-win partnerships.
Self-starter with hands-on entrepreneurial attitude and a genuine desire to render first-class service to our internal game teams. You take pride in offering the highest quality options to each request, and managing the process so that it is as easy and as seamless as possible.
This role can be based either in Helsinki (Finland) or the (London) UK. If applying from outside these locations, relocation will be required.
Willingness and ability to travel internationally to relevant tradeshows and partner meetings is required. If based outside of Finland, frequent travel to Supercell’s HQ in Helsinki is also required.

Benefits and Compensation
Luring you in with glitter, glamour, and gems is not what we seek to do. We develop Supercell as an employer for you to do your best work and to call this the best experience in your professional life.
We want you to enjoy your time here fully, so we structure our compensation and benefits to serve this purpose. It starts with perceiving you as a human being, not a resource.

About Supercell
We are a game company based in Helsinki, Finland, with offices in San Francisco, Seoul and Shanghai. Since our launch in 2010, we've released six games globally – Hay Day, Clash of Clans, Boom Beach, Clash Royale, Brawl Stars, and Squad Busters.
To make six games, we've killed dozens along the way. That's because we're obsessed with quality. Our mission is to create great games that as many people as possible play for years and that are remembered forever. To achieve this goal, we put together the best possible teams and give them the freedom and independence to succeed.

You Might Love It Here...
If you love games, Supercell is the place for you. We're made up of proactive, independent teams that have the freedom to do what they think is best for their players, our games, and the company.
We know it takes more than trust and independence to make great games, so we also take good care of our people, providing them with the compensation, work environment and resources they need to succeed and have fun while at it.

This position is in Helsinki, but you're not?
Luckily, moving to Helsinki is easier than you might think. No matter where you would be moving from, our dedicated people will help you from beginning to end. We're here to ensure the process is as smooth as possible for you, your family and whoever and whatever you bring along. In addition to cats and dogs, we've even relocated a horse.

Not sure if you should apply?
Do it! You might feel like you don't tick all the listed requirements with stellar scores. That's fine! We're here to help you succeed. Also, we're happy to learn about any specific accommodations you might require to fully engage in our recruitment process.

And here's a video about what we do. (Best enjoyed with salmiakki and rye bread)
