All of the quantitative and operational elements of a project live with our development management team – delivery dates and milestone planning; task breakdown, allocation and tracking; staffing requirements and feature team composition; budget handling, outsourcing and co-development balancing. If it belongs in an analytical form or an excel sheet, then it lives within the domain of Development Management.What you're responsible forA Senior Development Director stands as one of three equals at the top of our development team, balanced out by the Senior Production Director and the Creative Director. Where the Creative Director hold the vision for the game – the player-facing elements, the player drives and goals, the feel and the overall experience – the Production Director works on what the product needs to deliver to meet the needs of the consumer, the market and the genre. While these other two stakeholders will be driving the “what” and “why” of the product, much of the “when” is owned by the Development Management side. The Senior Development Director drives the game's overall development planning, owns the budget and is focused on monitoring and improving team performance and health. They are entrusted with bringing together the people, materials and tools, empowering teams through mentoring and performance management and are not afraid to modify agile production processes to align with an efficient team performance.As a Senior Development Director you will have a proven track record of owning and delivering games to market, shipping titles that have generated both critical acclaim and financial success.

You will have demonstrated leadership across large teams, have effectively utilised communication skills, techniques and tools that provide clarity and direction to developers that may well be split across remote, hybrid or office working schedules. You will be accustomed to using data-driven analysis to make informed decisions around your goals, product and delivery planning. You, allied with the Production Director and Creative Director, will continually be pushing to balance creative ambition with the need to execute on time. You will structure and deploy your team of Development Directors, Development Managers and Associates across the development team such that you will always be relied upon to deliver the single source of truth when questions of project progress and tracking are raised. All of this will need to be accomplished within a studio that prides itself on maintaining an open and transparent development culture, where our staff thrive on making games that players love.What we'd like to see<ul><li>A gamer: you love games, you play games, you take play seriously – it’s what drove you to the industry and why you love coming to work every single day</li><li>A strategist: your careful planning and dream to produce results makes you an effective leader who can balance and prioritize short-term solutions with the long-term vision and goals; when making key decisions, you leave no stone unturned.</li><li>A tactical delegator: you know how to get things done by using your tailored and proven management skills and clinical handling of agile development to allow your team to execute on the goals and craft the best product possible.</li><li>Aspirational leader: you help others empower themselves by fostering an environment of shared ownership, accountability, constructive criticism, recognition, appreciation, and collaboration; you communicate daily with the team to update them on issues, achievements, priorities and goals.</li><li>An information sponge: you are able to collect and articulate it with the teams and clients on a regular basis, tailoring your style and the content suitable to the audience at hand.</li><li>A communications specialist: you know that good leadership is based on clear and aligned communication and trust.
