- Communicate clearly on progress, risks, and outcomes
- Advocate for the player experience and ensure issues are resolved
- Improve team processes to increase efficiency and delivery quality
QUALIFICATIONS
- Proven experience delivering features or projects end-to-end in games or complex software
- Strong understanding of the game or software development lifecycle
