The opportunity

As a Technical Program Manager, you will coordinate delivery of projects that make up the strategic roadmap. You will collaborate with leaders from engineering, product management, design, quality assurance, partner engagement and other internal teams delivering dependent initiatives as required. You will also play a key role in building relationships and facilitating collaboration with the external partner. As the teams adapt to new opportunities, you will craft and implement change management strategies to guide process improvements and organizational change. You will wear several hats: connector, mentor, reporter, translator, diplomat, and act as a force multiplier for the teams with whom you work. You should have a highly adaptable program management style, and dedication to cultivating a culture of individual empowerment, ownership, trust, and continuous improvement.

• You might also have (optional) A passion for the future of computer games or real-time 3D experiences in a variety of settings.
