• Coordinate cross-functional collaboration across content, narrative, design, art, engineering, QA, and localization.
• Manage scope, prioritization, and change control to keep teams focused on milestone goals.
• Partner closely with senior production leadership on project status, risks, resourcing, and timelines.
• Organize playtests and internal feedback loops, ensuring issues are triaged and resolved effectively.
• Coordinate with external partners, including outsourcing teams, QA vendors, and localization providers.
• Maintain clear and up-to-date production documentation in tools such as Notion and Miro.

• Experience running production rituals and coordinating cross-functional teams.
• Strong communication and organizational skills, with the ability to surface risks and drive resolution.
• Hands‑on experience with production and tracking tools such as Codecks or similar platforms.
• Ability to manage scope, priorities, and change control in a structured and transparent manner.

Nice to Have

• Experience working on narrative‑driven or content‑heavy games.
• Familiarity with distributed or hybrid teams.
• Experience coordinating external partners such as outsourcing studios, QA vendors, or localization services.
• Experience working within established IPs or ongoing live content pipelines.

What’s Offered
