Social Media Manager

About Us

10:10 Games is an exciting new independent development studio based in the heart of Warrington. We are working on an all-new AAA Funko gaming franchise with Universal NBC, which we can’t wait to share with you all!

Being only two years old, we have anchored a people first culture into our studio where our team are empowered to fulfil their potential. We are building development pathways that allow us to help everyone reach the next stage of their career with our internal promotion opportunities. Having quarterly progression catch ups with your manager lets us always have your learning and development aspirations as a prime focus. 

We understand everyone has a life outside of 10:10, therefore we have a flexible approach to working and have fostered a hybrid working environment. Whether you like to go to the gym, walk your dogs or need to collect your children from school, having a no time tracking policy allows our team to have a great work life balance!

We also value transparency, collaboration and genuinely care about everyone’s feedback within our studio. We therefore have fortnightly company-wide stand ups and quarterly check in meetings with each team to ensure we are maintaining this promise.

We have a passionate Outreach programme that we love everyone to get involved with! We have already partnered with Women in Games, Grads in Games, Into Games and more. We are an inclusive studio that believe strongly in opening the doors into the industry, so we provide opportunities within local universities, colleges and schools through our work experience, internships and apprenticeships.

We are growing our team rapidly over the next few months, so this is an amazing opportunity to come and join our people-first culture and be part of our exciting expansion!

As an equal opportunity employer at 10:10 Games we treat all job applications equally, regardless of age, disability, gender identity or gender expression, race, ethnicity, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation or any other equality characteristic.
