You may recall that, around a week ago, it was confirmed that SEGA was looking for an Associate Manager of Lore for the Sonic the Hedgehog series. As of this post’s writing, the position hasn’t been filled yet, but a little more info about the job position was revealed by Katie, SEGA’s Sonic social media manager.
According to Katie, “in the past few years, we’ve been looking at the entire universe of Sonic and how things tie together canonically for the future. SEGA put together a small team of us internally, and along with Tyson Hesse, Ian Flynn and Evan Stanley, we’re working on making the universe and stories more meaningfully connected”.
Katie also said that Sonic Team is involved with the decisions too. That said, Katie mentions that the role is more of a managerial one, “helping our Director of Lore schedule and collaborate with other teams. You of course will join creative discussions and brainstorms, but these decisions are not a 1-person job”. She concludes by saying that the position is not an entry-level, and that they’re looking for someone that “already has some solid project management experience”.
