Home » Working at Games Workshop
At Games Workshop, we look for remarkable people because we understand they are at the heart of everything we do. Our people aren’t just any people; they’re hard-working, perfectionists always striving for more and better. They have the humility to want to do better, the courage to try, and the honesty to accept when they fall short.
We are proud of our teams, made up of diverse individuals with varying skill sets and backgrounds brought together by a common set of shared values. We put people first and invest in them for the long term.
After all, nearly 50 years of experience have taught us that great people, the right people, will do the same for us.

Jose Upegui Trainee Plastics Designer
There’s such a big passion for creating the best miniatures in the world. Working in the Citadel Miniatures Design Studio is a very unique experience and it’s something that is very rewarding. If you’re an aspiring miniatures designer and you want to join Games Workshop and create the best miniatures in the world, I would say is go for it!
Yuno Endo Trade Sales Japan
If you are looking for a working environment that is open to you regards of age, or gender, or working experience, Games Workshop is a good place to be in. One of our staff members in Tokyo has been working at Games Workshop for more than 20 years. He has been working since the beginning of our business in Japan, what they do is simply amazing.
Anja Cuhalev Plastics Designer
I’ve learned a lot here just because there are things in place that allow you to learn. If you have different interests, you can move or progress within the company. I think it’s a great company that offers opportunities in different fields. It’s all about getting along with people who can offer you help or give you knowledge which is definitely a big part of the Games Workshop culture.
Derrick Warren Warehouse Materials Handler
The first day you come in the door you’re going to be greeted. You’re going to be walked around. You’re going to see the energy of great people laughing and smiling. You’re going to be a part of that from day one. This is a great company to be at, that’s what helps separate it from other jobs. It’s all about the encouragement and the way that we operate here that makes you want to strive to be better.
Richard Packer Retail Sales Programme Manager
I have, and still do, work with dedicated people who share the desire to do the best for Games Workshop, produce the best miniatures in the world and recruit more people into our amazing hobby. The attitude of continuous development means you are never standing still. I believe the worst days in GW are far better than the best days anywhere else.
Pete Foley Books & Box Games Manager
My career at Games Workshop has been fantastic! I have worked for 15-years creating the products I love. When you believe so passionately in what you do, it hardly seems like work at all. That’s not to say that my time here hasn’t been hard, frustrating, tiring or challenging – just that it has been worth every minute.
Neil Coombe Manufacturing Operations Manager
If you join GW with the right attitude and the right behaviours, then you can achieve a great deal and go a long way. This is a dynamic, energised and fast-paced business, always looking to improve across everything, be that design, operations, sales or anything else. At Games Workshop, we never stand still and always want more and better.
Mark Chambers Product & Channel Marketing Manager
I believe we make the best products in the world because we recruit the best people to make them and sell them. I am lucky to work with amazing people, and every day is filled with variety and challenges. All I can say is, I’ve gotten out of bed with a spring in my step for the last 8395 days!
