Job description

We are PUBG, the global battle royale phenomenon! After the release of our flagship title in 2017 we have become one of the highest selling games of all time with over 75 million copies sold – that’s a lot of Chicken Dinners! And that’s only the beginning: PUBG Madison is developing an exciting new IP that aims to push the shooter genre forward.

Our state-of-the art studio and brand-new motion capture studio are in the heart of Madison, WI, a city frequently named the best place to live in the US for its vibrant culture, natural beauty, and outstanding, innovative educational institutions.

• Maintain a single source of truth for timelines, status, and deliverables that stakeholders can rely on.

Process & Operations

Stakeholder & Risk Management
