About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

You'll be responsible for a specific area: games, features, or platform work.
From the first conversation about a requirement through to production - you're on the hook for the whole thing.
This isn't a meeting-facilitation job. It's about making sure engineering teams have a clear path to delivery and nothing is getting in their way.
You set the timeline, track it, and communicate changes before people start asking questions.
If there's a blocker, you've already seen it. If a release isn't ready, you say so - clearly and early.
You'll look at how work flows through your area and fix what's broken.
You'll design something that actually works, iterate on it, and make it better over time.
Quality is yours too. Not QA's problem alone, not the tech lead's problem.
You own release readiness: is it tested, is it documented, does anyone know the operational risk.
you'll work closely with product, engineering, QA, and client-facing teams, keep them aligned, and report directly to the VP of Delivery.

Strong communicator - you can give a clear, honest delivery update to a VP without needing a slide deck
You care about quality beyond closing tickets - release readiness, testing coverage, operational risk are things you think about naturally
