Role: Project Manager – Mobile Games

Location: Mumbai

Reporting to: CTO (Co-Founder of the Company)

Experience Required: 5+ Years of Experience

Who do we need?

We are looking for an experienced Project Manager to ensure the timely delivery of the games we release. You will need to understand a game release’s requirements, ensure the right resources are aligned at the right time and verify that the release is on track through regular checks. You will need to have an eye for detail, be able to spot dependencies and be willing to imbibe best practices in delivering creative projects such as games.

What do you need to do? (Role and Responsibilities)

Understand the scope of the release and WHY it is being developed. This is vital to be able to triage and escalate issues effectively.
Work closely with the Product Manager / Producer to plan resources and dependencies for each release, delivering a project plan as the outcome.
Work with the various HODs and partner managers to ensure all resources are in sync.
Be actively involved during the production phase and work with the creative, art, development & QC teams across projects to ensure projects are on track. This involves reviewing progress periodically, with an actual hands-on review of builds, tracking checklists and updating project timelines.
If you cannot resolve problems or concerns on your own, escalate them immediately and clearly, with possible options for management to decide on.
Be adept with scheduling tools such as MS Project, SmartSheets, or Trello.

Who could you be? Background and Experience:

Someone with a minimum of 5 years of experience in a similar role.
You have launched or updated products (games, preferably) regularly, at least 8 releases of an app in 12 months.
You need to love playing games.
Have strong communication skills, both written and verbal.
A background in mobile app development, if not in mobile game development, will be very helpful so that you are aware of the teams involved in the game development process.
Familiarity with Android and iOS devices and stores will be an added benefit.
