Project Manager

ROCKSTONE is a developer of mobile and social games with a 17-year history. We work remotely and in the office in Chelyabinsk. We are looking for a project manager for a live game project at the LiveOps stage: regular updates, events, and monetization development. A well-established cross-functional team is working on the project: development, game design, UI, art, QA, and analytics.

• Build an effective team. You are the direct supervisor of the project participants: set roles and expectations, conduct 1:1s, provide feedback, grow people and leads, and evaluate results. You propose solutions for team composition and participate in hiring
• Delegate and demand results. You will hand over areas of responsibility to leads with clear outcomes and deadlines and check their execution
• Plan sprints and achieve their goals. Turn product tasks into a realistic plan for the entire team and prepare the next sprint before the current one ends. Identify risks in time and resolve them before they cause disruptions
• Manage the full cycle. Planning, implementation, release, results, and retrospective. After each cycle, make decisions about what to change in the process, in working with people, and what to propose changing in the product
• Monitor quality and keep processes simple. Play the game, check the "before/after" of released features, and analyze the effect of changes with the analyst. Keep only those procedures that contribute to results

• From 3 years as a Project Manager, Delivery Manager, or lead of development for a live digital product with regular releases
• Direct management of a cross-functional team of 12+ people
• An example where you took over a team and made it stronger: what you changed in roles, people, and composition, and how the results grew
• Experience hiring for your team and making tough decisions about composition
• Sprint planning experience: you can show the plan versus actual results over several cycles and explain how goals were achieved
• Examples where cycle results led to changes in the process, team, or product
• Experience working with product metrics and analytics: you distinguish between "released" and "worked."
• Confident work with Jira

• Work format: remote
• Schedule: flexible start of the workday, 8-hour workday
• Benefits: 28 calendar days of vacation; compensation for medical services, sports, and English language courses
• Growth: own team, influence on a product with a large audience, and direct work with the producer and company founder
