    • You educate and coach our game teams in external development.

    • 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 will assist our game teams in ensuring they are organised with each stage of external development, from onboarding to providing feedback in a timely fashion.


    • 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.
    • 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.

    • Willingness to travel when necessary.
    • Good technical understanding of game development pipelines and processes.
