About the role 

As a Community Support Manager, you will work alongside the Community team to deliver world-class support operations, actionable player insights and seamless collaboration between support and development teams.

We are looking for a promising Community Support Manager who is passionate about their craft, skilled in player support operations, stakeholder collaboration, problem solving and delivering actionable insights, and eager to contribute to the development of Fable. 

What you'll do: 

• Act as the primary point of contact between Xbox/Microsoft Customer Support teams and internal Fable stakeholders. 
• Establish and maintain effective processes for triaging, escalating, tracking, and resolving player-reported issues. 
• Monitor support ticket trends, player pain points, and emerging issues to identify risks and opportunities for improvement. 
• Ensure support teams have accurate and up-to-date information regarding known issues, game updates, workarounds, and player-facing messaging. 
• Consolidate player feedback from customer support channels, community platforms, social media, and other feedback sources. 
• Translate community and support insights into clear, actionable recommendations for development teams. 
• Maintain dashboards, trackers, and documentation related to support operations and issue management. 

What you'll bring 

• Proven experience, with demonstrable work on at least 1 published title, ideally AAA. 
• Experience with customer support ticketing systems, issue tracking and player-insights reporting tools 
• Strong communication, problem-solving and analytical skills 
• A genuine passion for video games. 

Why join us? 

This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to a world-class game while working alongside an established, talented, and collaborative team at one of the industry's most exciting first-party game studios. Although you will be employed by an agency partner, you will work day-to-day with the Playground Games development team, helping bring the next chapter of Fable to players around the world.
