The Job

As a key part of WB Games, a Technical Live Producer is responsible for managing multiple programs of work, orchestrated across a wide spectrum of teams from early product definition and design all the way through to release, utilizing a variety of development methods. On the Business side, we require experience shipping multiple products across multiple platforms, all while making the thoughtful trade-offs required to deliver a product that aligns with stakeholder expectations, in a fast-paced, highly matrixed environment. The role requires excellent communication skills, the ability to diagram workflows, and lead focused team meetings. In this role relationship building skills are equally, if not more important than engineering aptitude. This role will work across internal and external organizations, with each cross-functional team that contributes to the success of the org and game titles.

The Daily

• Manage multiple projects within a larger project portfolio end-to-end, including the Analytics, Compliance, Product, Development and QA phase.
• Establish tracking project milestones and metrics for program level status reporting.
• In this role, early requirements may not be well-defined, and depending on various factors, they may change frequently. The successful candidate will maintain flexibility during uncertainty and be able to drive teams through this phase until scope is clearly defined and well understood by all team members.

The Essentials
• B.S. in Computer Science or a related technical discipline, or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years of gaming experience running multiple technical projects in a fast-paced environment.
• Excellent interpersonal skills, including negotiation and problem resolution within a cross-functional team.
• Ability to work within multiple projects and engineering frameworks. (e.g. Agile, Waterfall, Scrum, SAFe, Lean, etc.)

The Nice To Haves
• Asian languages (speak, read and write - especially Mandarin) ability is a HUGE plus.
• Familiarity with APAC mobile games market.
