About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Lead and develop product managers and project managers, providing structured coaching, clear expectations, and proactive guidance rather than a hands-off approach.
Set and enforce delivery standards across the team; hold yourself and others accountable to outcomes, not just activity.
Build trusted relationships with engineering leaders, game team partners, and senior stakeholders.
Communicate concisely and effectively across all levels, from executives to engineers, adapting tone and detail to the audience.
Make decisive calls in ambiguous situations; say “no” when needed, and bring forward a clear rationale.
Own end-to-end execution of Platform Security programs, from intake and planning through delivery, launch, and iteration.
Drive milestone planning, dependency tracking, risk management, and status reporting with rigor and consistency.
Establish and maintain operational rhythms across multiple workstreams, including roadmap reviews, delivery frameworks, and communication standards.
Serve as the primary escalation point for cross-team blockers; resolve issues quickly and surface decisions clearly.
Balance proactive, long-term program planning with the reactive demands of live-service operations.
Translate Platform Security strategy into actionable roadmaps, resource plans, and prioritization decisions.
Partner with product, engineering, and data science leaders to align programs to business goals and player-trust outcomes.
Define and track program-level KPIs; use data to drive decisions, not just to report progress.
Anticipate threats and opportunities, bringing forward-looking thinking into program planning rather than just responding to events.
Communicate program strategy, risks, and recommendations clearly to senior leadership.
