Program Manager, Maxis Marketing Projects

The Sims is hiring a talented, creative, forward-thinking Program Manager to focus on special projects and initiatives. In this role, you’ll be a member of a small team with a direct influence on the Sims experiences of tomorrow, making sure they’re even more impactful for our amazing players than the past two decades. You don’t have to be a longtime Sims player to thrive in this role, but we are looking for individuals who bring unique, diverse and unconventional perspectives to the team — ensuring that our work is as inclusive and multifaceted as the game itself and that we represent the interests, priorities and perspectives of our exceptional player community.

Think about our players and all the different ways they play with life — whether they create & style Sims, build their homes or tell their stories. You might be an architect … or a fashion editor … or a video game industry veteran. If it sounds exciting to innovate on behalf of our players, this job might be for you.

Through our work, we’re celebrating this game we all love so much — and the players we appreciate even more. It's more than a game. It's life.
