    Description

    DESCRIPTION


    As an External Development Manager, you will be responsible for diligently identifying suitable vendors across multiple disciplines in line with the needs of our projects throughout their development lifecycles.

    You are crucial in helping assess development situations across the projects and aiding development teams and stakeholders with their strategies for delivering high-quality, AAA, cost-effective deliverables through 3rd party partners.


    Your role is to help to drive, implement, and improve processes, methods, workflows, and tools to deliver scope outside of the internal game team's capabilities.

    You will assist in tracking progress against the game team's milestone goals and ensuring both the internal and external teams are fully aligned throughout development.


    You strive to build long-term relationships through clear two-way communication and trust, with engagements that will make the external development experience positive for all parties involved.

    You will be a confident decision-maker, often making impartial decisions through sometimes difficult situations and scenarios.

    You will aid in championing external development on behalf of the studio, helping to set up processes and educating teams on the short- and long-term benefits of external development.

    This is an in-studio role, and this is non-negotiable; however, we can offer bespoke relocation packages.

    If you have the skills and passion we are looking for and want to be part of something special, we want to hear from you


    RESPONSIBILITIES

    • You will be responsible for relationship management with our external partners across the business.

    • You will help coordinate game teams and operation departments with the necessary paperwork in place before an engagement commences.
    • You will be process driven and set up all development workflows and processes with external development baked in.
    • You educate and coach our game teams in external development.
    • You know which project management methodologies (Agile, Kanban, and Waterfall) are more suited to different engagements.
    • You will understand engagement needs and can work alongside the game teams, suggesting suitable vendors, availability, and capacity.
    • You will work with our game teams to establish expected quality bars per discipline, which our vendors are expected to deliver against.

    • You ensure review & feedback loops for all external engagements are running smoothly and course correct, as needed.
    • You will work alongside our game teams, aiding in planning, scheduling, and establishing a schedule to complete deliverables to ensure the project's key dates are upheld.
    • You will understand the basic process of maintaining and driving external capacity planning and be able to articulate to the team to help inform their decisions.
    • You will proactively identify and resolve risks for the game team and vendor pipeline.
    • You will ensure the review/feedback loops for all external engagements run smoothly and course correct as needed.

    Business Development

    • You understand the contractual and financial elements of each external engagement/relationship we have in place.
    • You aid in providing insights into market research and industry trends alongside any reports or analyses that might be requested.
    • You will gain an understanding of each Operation Department's systems and processes and bake them into External Development workflows.

    • Previous experience working with external partners.
