About the role

  • Drive structured, data-informed decision-making with directors and discipline leads to protect scope, quality, and milestone commitments.
  • Own and maintain the integrated cross-department macro schedule including milestone architecture, feature sequencing, dependency mapping, and critical path dependencies through Gold.
  • Serve as the single point of accountability for schedule integrity. Ensure all departmental plans and forecasts are capacity-validated, reconciled, and aligned to the macro production plan.
  • Architect and maintain the scheduling framework used by the project, including planning standards, dependency modeling approaches, and forecasting methodologies that ensure consistent schedule reliability across pillars.
  • Enforce schedule discipline across pillars by identifying variance, forecast drift, and dependency risk while driving corrective action to maintain milestone confidence.
  • Maintain formal risk tracking, identify and flag delivery risks early, escalate when appropriate, and confirm mitigation plans are defined.
  • Own production velocity metrics and forecasting models, translating production system data into forward-looking schedule projections and milestone confidence assessments.
  • Produce standardized executive reporting that clearly communicates schedule health, forecast accuracy, and dependency risk.
  • Provide forward-looking delivery forecasts and scenario modeling to support executive planning, scope decisions, and milestone readiness assessments.

Requirements

  • Proven experience delivering AAA video games, preferably action-adventure or narrative-driven titles with complex cross-discipline dependencies and milestone-driven production cycles.
  • Demonstrated expertise in constructing and maintaining integrated production schedules, including dependency mapping, capacity planning, milestone modeling, and critical path analysis.
  • Advanced proficiency with Jira (or equivalent production systems), including workflow configuration, dashboard/report creation, and data extraction for forecasting and variance analysis.
  • Strong analytical capability and ability to translate production data into velocity trends, burn-down forecasts, schedule variance insights, and milestone confidence projections.
  • Experience producing executive-level reporting that enables clear scope, risk, and investment decisions.
  • Solid knowledge of structured project management methodologies (Agile, hybrid, milestone-gated development) applied within complex creative production environments.
  • Experience building or refining production planning frameworks, reporting standards, or schedule governance practices within large-scale game development teams.
