Frictional Games

Malmö, Sweden

Communications and Operations Manager

01/2018 – 08/2020

Frictional Games is an independent game developer from Sweden. Best known for Amnesia: The Dark Descent (2010) and SOMA (2015), both of which are consistently heralded as some of the scariest games ever. Amnesia: Rebirth, a sequel to The Dark Descent, came out in in Autumn 2020.

Originally hired as a Community Manager and Event Organizer in January 2018, I picked up tasks from management and came up with my own projects, quickly evolving into my final title of Community and Operations Manager.

Responsibilities

What does a Communications and Operations Manager do, you ask? Well, pretty much everything a company needs that falls outside of development. In game terms, others on my team play defence or offence, and I’m the one person playing support.

Since my work was so varied, I have split it up into two categories: the community and the operations. Please click through to whatever you are most interested in. The pages contain general information on my work, as well as examples.

Community management, social media, website design…

Release management, recruitment, internal and external events, office management…
