WHAT WE VALUE:

• 5+ Years: Professional production or project management experience.

• Game Experience: Proof that you have shipped more than one game cycle through to release. Experience of certification for current-generation consoles (e.g., Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5) is a plus.

• Multi-Discipline Team Experience: Coordinating and/or managing multiple teams of multi-discipline developers.

• Strong Organizational Skills: Attention to detail across multiple projects and teams.

• Drive: Keep team members working efficiently and effectively toward project goals, maintaining focus on the valuable product increments and scope.
