We're the studio behind the hit franchise Chivalry: Medieval Warfare. At Torn Banner we understand that long, hard hours are not conducive to being a happy, healthy person. Combine this idea with a flat studio structure and profit sharing and you've got ideals that promote a positive, low stress environment to help us create awesome games. As a small team of developers, each individual has a huge impact on the final product that we put out, so we put emphasis on being open with each other, giving/receiving critical feedback, and not letting an false sense of authority cloud our vision. The more eyes and input that we have from different disciplines and personality types, the better our releases will be.

Torn Banner Studios are looking for an Executive Assistant to directly support our CEO and COO.

We are looking for someone who is exceptionally organized, an excellent communicator and has the ability to be proactive and positive in a fast-paced environment. The ideal candidate would have a keen interest in helping to manage the day-to-day life of a video game company and its executive team. As Executive Assistant you will be the main point of contact for our key executives and be responsible for a wide range of tasks.
