Project Manager

Project Manager for a live mobile game at ROCKSTONE, a game developer. Remote work. Manage a cross-functional team, plan sprints, and drive results.

We are looking for a project manager for a live game project in the LiveOps stage: regular updates, events, and monetization development. The project has an established cross-functional team: development, game design, UI, art, QA, and analytics. What you will do: - Build an effective team. You are the direct manager of project participants: set roles and expectations, conduct 1:1s, provide feedback, grow people and leads, evaluate results. Propose team composition and participate in hiring. - Delegate and demand results. Transfer areas of responsibility to leads with clear results and deadlines, and verify execution. - Plan sprints and achieve goals. Turn product tasks into a realistic plan for the entire team and prepare the next sprint before the current one ends. Identify risks in time and resolve them before they escalate. - Manage the full cycle: planning, implementation, release, results, and retrospective. After each cycle, make decisions about process changes, people management, and product modifications. - Monitor quality and keep processes simple. Play the game, check releases before/after, and review the effect of changes with the analyst. Keep only procedures that contribute to results.

What is important in experience: - At least 3 years as a project manager, delivery manager, or head of development of a live digital product with regular releases. - Direct management of a cross-functional team of 12 or more people. - An example of taking over a team and making it stronger: what changed in roles, people, and composition, and how results improved. - Experience hiring for your team and making difficult decisions about staffing. - Experience planning sprints: you can show plans and actuals over several cycles and explain how goals were achieved. - Examples where cycle results led to changes in process, team, or product. - Experience with product metrics and analytics: you distinguish 'released' from 'it worked'. - Confident work with Jira.

Conditions: - Work format: remote. - Schedule: flexible start of the working day, 8-hour working day. - Benefits: 28 calendar days of vacation; compensation for medical services, sports, and English language. - Growth: your own team, influence on a product with a large audience, and direct work with the producer and company founder.
