Global Communications Specialist

This role is based in Helsinki

We are the Supercell Brand & Communications team, a small and savvy team dedicated to helping Supercell succeed in its mission to create great games that as many people as possible play for years and that are remembered forever!

We’re building up our regional PR capabilities for the first time – and you’ll shape this work from the ground up.

Aside from recruiting and managing regional PR partners, you’ll work closely with Supercell marketing teams - based across Helsinki, APAC and the Americas - to strategise then drive earned media attention for both global and local-specific game activations. There’s a lot of autonomy here, and even more opportunity to make an impact.

The goal? To embed our games within pop culture across the globe – that’s the “remembered forever” part.

To succeed in this role, you are inherently curious about how different audiences consume news and, as such, how Supercell can show up in these places digitally, virtually, and physically. You describe yourself as well-attuned to what’s happening in pop culture, and have a strong sense of what moves the earned media needle in different regions.

Key Responsibilities:

• Leading the expansion for Supercell’s earned media footprint across key target GEOs including, but not limited to Germany, France, Spain, Brazil, Mexico and Japan.
• Supporting the creation of Supercell’s PR agency infrastructure globally, including agency hiring and ongoing management.
• Being the key information source for media contacts requesting insights, interviews, or comments on game-related matters
• Providing strategic communications support to longer-term marketing goals
• Identifying and building media relationships within consumer, games and entertainment verticals, especially in key target GEOs listed above.
• Supporting the Supercell corporate brand development work
  
  
  

Key Skills:

• Significant experience within a globally-facing, consumer products company – experience in games or the broader entertainment industry is a distinct advantage
• Proven track record of managing successful external communications campaigns from end to end
• Excellent English language and communication skills – with French, German or Spanish proficiency a big plus
• Experience either in-house or on the agency side – both are a plus
• Knowledgeable about news and trends in the games and broader entertainment space
• Ability to exist in uncertainty and be a resourceful problem solver
• Ability to prioritise and laser focus on what creates the most value for Supercell’s games
• Proactive and hands-on approach to your work
• Passion for games, especially Supercell games

Benefits And Compensation

Luring you in with glitter, glamour, and gems is not what we seek to do. We develop Supercell as an employer for you to do your best work and to call this the best experience in your professional life.

We want you to enjoy your time here fully, so we structure our compensation and benefits to serve this purpose. It starts with perceiving you as a human being, not a resource.

About Supercell

We are a game company based in Helsinki, Finland, with offices in San Francisco, Seoul and Shanghai. Since our launch in 2010, we've released six games globally – Hay Day, Clash of Clans, Boom Beach, Clash Royale, Brawl Stars, and Squad Busters.

To make six games, we've killed dozens along the way. That's because we're obsessed with quality. Our mission is to create great games that as many people as possible play for years and that are remembered forever. To achieve this goal, we put together the best possible teams and give them the freedom and independence to succeed.

You Might Love It Here...

If you love games, Supercell is the place for you. We're made up of proactive, independent teams that have the freedom to do what they think is best for their players, our games, and the company.

We know it takes more than trust and independence to make great games, so we also take good care of our people, providing them with the compensation, work environment and resources they need to succeed and have fun while at it.

You Are Not Your Job Title

Working with us means you won’t need to focus on chasing titles or climbing ladders. We’ve decided that our internal job titles don’t include prefixes like senior, junior, principal, or director. Instead, we embrace our non-hierarchical culture, allowing us to concentrate on what truly matters: doing what’s best for our players. Recognition isn’t tied to your job title, nor does your title define the impact you can have.

For hiring purposes, we do use industry-standard job titles to help attract talent. When it comes to public-facing spaces like LinkedIn, we trust and encourage everyone to select a title that feels most appropriate for them.

This position is in Helsinki, but you're not?

Luckily, moving to Helsinki is easier than you might think. No matter where you would be moving from, our dedicated people will help you from beginning to end. We're here to ensure the process is as smooth as possible for you, your family and whoever and whatever you bring along. In addition to cats and dogs, we've even relocated a horse.

Not sure if you should apply?

Do it! You might feel like you don't tick all the listed requirements with stellar scores. That's fine! We're here to help you succeed. Also, we're happy to learn about any specific accommodations you might require to fully engage in our recruitment process.
