Massive Entertainment is a premier producer of games and interactive entertainment for the global market. The company was founded in 1997 and is located in Malmö, Sweden. In 2002 Massive was acquired by Vivendi Games, making the studio one of only two Vivendi development studios outside North America. With over 120 passionate game developers, Massive is now continuing to expand to meet the demands of gamers worldwide. In September 2007, Massive released 'World in Conflict' - a best-selling action-strategy game that further positions the company as one of the most prominent development studios in the world.

Looking for a great job within one of the most innovative and successful studios in Europe? Massive Entertainment is currently looking for a Head Writer / Lore keeper with excellent leadership skills for a new exciting project.

We are ideally looking for a candidate with prior experience from the games industry (shipped AAA PC or console titles), but we are also interested in hearing from you if you are a professional Writer with several books or stories published. You are passionate about composing interesting, immersive, and well-written background stories and lore descriptions. It is important that you are flexible as you will be expanding on existing material. As a person you are creative, driven, cooperative, result oriented and have strong leading skills. We assume that you have very strong skills in written as well as verbal English communication.

• Excellent skills in written and spoken English
• Talent for writing Sci-Fi / Fantasy and a good understanding of writing stories for games
• Self-motivation, good communication skills, and a great team-player attitude
• Organized; has the ability to work towards deadlines
• Able to maintain a clear vision of how the "lore" should be and communicate this to the team

Additional bonus assets:

• Solid understanding of game creation
• A strong interest in RPG games
• Experience with running and/or writing for traditional pen and paper RPGs
• Previous experience in leading and coaching other writers

We can offer you a dynamic and fun environment, a friendly atmosphere, lots of competent and creative colleagues and the opportunity to work on an exciting new high-profile project. Massive is currently in an expansion phase and will grow from 120 talented individuals up to 300 the next few years.
