    Responsibilities

  • Project management of various development disciplines and content teams: risk management, communication strategy, documentation, etc.
  • Collaborating with team leads to establish timelines & deliverables.
  • Managing a team of Development Managers and Junior Development Managers across concurrent projects.

  • Exceptional knowledge of software product life cycles, tools, processes and execution planning, having led at least one game title through to public release in a project management capacity.
  • Experience in keeping complicated, multi-disciplinary projects on schedule, whatever the fires– our ideal candidate is extremely organized, able to manage multiple projects concurrently and has the flexibility to adapt quickly to new tools, processes and challenges.
  • The passion, self-motivation and courage to not accept the "status quo" and instigate process improvement across a development team where it would benefit the end product or the wider business.
  • A good working knowledge of JIRA and Confluence applications and workflows.
  • Project Management Qualifications in at least one recognised methodology are beneficial (e.g. Agile, Scrum, Prince2, etc.).

    • Why work for us?

  • You will have a direct and significant impact on the future of our games.
  • You'll experience an environment where you will be challenged but supported.
  • We have an industry leading work-life balance.
