  • Be the first line of contact for day-to-day development within your areas of responsibility. Work closely with the game team to continually adapt and improve production processes to best support your teams' individual needs.
  • Monitor progress within your teams, providing regular reporting on accomplishments, development status, issues and risks for your assigned areas.
  • Proactively identify and solve problems to ensure the smooth running of the teams, escalating as needed. Define mitigation plans that deliver on great outcomes for the team and product.
  • Drive necessary conversations between teams to tackle blockers, dependencies & shared areas of responsibility, ensuring the outcomes are clear and well understood by all.
  • Exemplify best practices within the project in line with the defined processes, providing coaching and mentoring to more junior production team members.
  • Create good working relationships, helping foster cross-team communication. Serve as custodian of team wellbeing and foster a culture of success.
  • Conduct regular, effective retrospectives and post-mortem reviews with the development teams. Communicate concerns clearly to Directors, Leads & Senior Production. Assist in the creation & roll-out of related action plans.
