• Supporting customer game productions by aligning with technical art and engineering leads on resource planning, staffing, and milestone tracking

• Driving continuous improvement by documenting production outcomes, reporting project health, and identifying opportunities to optimize workflows and enhance Unity Engine capabilities

• Providing strategic input on regional trends and customer needs in Japan and APAC, contributing to internal planning and long-term business alignment

What we're looking for

• Proven experience in project or program management within the gaming or related technology (or entertainment) industries, with a strong track record of leading complex, multi-stakeholder projects

• Exceptional leadership and team management skills, with experience in guiding diverse, global teams

• A solid understanding of game development workflows, or the ability to work closely with developers and technical stakeholders to translate customer needs into actionable plans

• Fluent in Japanese and business fluency in either English or Korean with excellent communication and interpersonal skills, the ability to present complex information clearly to executive staff and key stakeholders

• Familiarity with industry standard project management tools and methodologies, with a continuous improvement mindset
