Project Manager
A Project Manager at Playrix fulfills a key role. This person is responsible for the company's development, is a driver of change, and defines and implements visions. Their main goal is to flexibly and intelligently form an environment of people and processes and to continuously develop it.
About the company
Playrix is one of the most successful mobile game development companies in the world. In terms of mobile application revenue, we rank first in Europe and are in the top 3 worldwide. Our games have been installed 2.3 billion times (that's a third of the world's population!) and more than 30 million people around the world play them every day.
Tasks
The manager's task is to effectively manage teams in conditions of high production rates and change. You'll be involved in the entire game production process, from pre-production and artistic work to creating engineering perfection. What was appropriate a year ago may not be consistent with the product strategy today, and the manager should see that and improve the situation. In addition, a key responsibility and role of the Project Manager is to create and develop teams. In this sense, a Playrix manager has "free rein" and almost unlimited opportunities to build a team.
Requirements
Experience in managing a cross-functional development team at a product-oriented IT company or in game development
Experience in managing and developing managers, working with teams through leads
Technical background: technical education, experience as a developer/QA
Experience with IT products: prioritization, planning, operational control
Strong people management skills: hiring, assessment, development
Working with Us Is Great Because:
It's not enough for us to just make good games. Our goal is to create hits. We maintain our products at the highest technical and visual levels, often setting quality standards for the entire market. The company's structure can be called "flat." We do not have multi-level approvals, regulations for the sake of regulations, unnecessary formality, and other hallmarks of massive companies with thousands of employees. You'll be able to make decisions quickly and independently and influence the company's work from the level of a single sub-team to the level of all its products.
We provide the opportunity to work with the strongest specialists in the market. First, because we have the capabilities to do so :) And second, because we sincerely believe that a strong team is the key to success and the only way to make truly high-quality products. In our case, that's not simply a nice slogan to write in a job description but our reality
Playrix is a reliable and stable company. The company is twenty years old, and we are constantly growing. Few teams in the market can boast such consistent success, so we highly value and take pride in it.
