- Proactively identify and resolve challenges faced by external studios by bringing to bear internal resources, services, and vendor network.
- Be responsible for the full lifecycle of partner titles, ensuring they are positioned for long-term success with strategic post-launch plans and key performance indicators.
- Review and manage project budgets, supervise financial forecasts, and address potential overruns in coordination with studios, outsourcing partners, and internal publishing teams.
- Ensure alignment with quality targets, timelines, and budgets through clear expectation setting, milestone reviews, and structured feedback loops based on internal or contractual agreements.
- Work alongside User Research, Market Research, and QA teams to maintain high-quality standards across all projects.
- Collaborate with publishing and release management teams to guide projects from early development through launch across all supported platforms.
- Domestic and international travel may be required.

- Strong background in leading cross-functional teams within an internal development environment.
- Expertise in structuring milestone and review processes, as well as implementing risk mitigation and approval strategies.
- Proven track record of fostering relationships with internal and external studios, vendors, and key partners.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to tailor messaging to different audiences.
- Meticulous and highly organized, capable of thriving in fast-paced environments while leading meetings, capturing key insights, and driving discussions.
- Extensive experience in developing console (PS4/PS5) and/or PC titles, a detailed understanding of platform-specific submission and release processes.
- Shipped at least two PS4 or PS5 titles in a leadership capacity.
- A history of working on AAA projects, managing large budgets, and overseeing sizable development teams.
- Strong ability to assess project quality, anticipate development hurdles, and proactively address risks at all stages of production.
- A proactive mindset—willing to take ownership of challenges and provide support where needed, regardless of the task.
