Guide Support – Share expertise with Release Managers, contribute to best practices, and help raise the quality and efficiency of release operations across the team.

You will operate at both a strategic and tactical level—ensuring day-to-day releases run smoothly while also improving how the company ships games over the long term.

The Skills we are searching for 5+ years of experience in release management, production, or equivalent roles in the games industry, with at least 2 years in a senior/lead capacity.
