Are you ready for the challenge?

Role Purpose

You will be one of the first people to experience the game and will be part of a dynamic, high performing and multi-disciplined team whose mission is to get the game ready for release.

Performance is measured on a twice-yearly basis via our PDP system, considering the points above, as well as attitude and attendance to give a balanced overall review.
