2. Cross-region Game Milestone & Delivery Management: Formulate, track, and synchronize master project plans across different time zones and regions; manage the delivery pipeline of game assets (Art, Animation, Audio) and code integration to ensure multi-site milestones are met on time.

3. Cross-cultural Game Workflow & Standardization: Establish, optimize, and promote standard remote-collaboration workflows and communication protocols to bridge cultural gaps and language barriers, ensuring efficient game asset handovers and review processes.

4.Distributed Team Risk & Conflict Management: Proactively identify and solve project bottlenecks unique to distributed game development (e.g., communication lag, build integration friction, cultural mismatches) to minimize project risks and maintain alignment.

5. Game Industry & Tech Trend Research: Conduct deep-dive market and desk research on global gaming industries and emerging technology trends (including but not limited to Generative AI, AI-driven game development tools, and innovative gameplay metrics), delivering actionable insight reports.

Who We Look For

1. Global Mindset & Cross-cultural Communication: Exceptional cross-cultural communication, interpersonal, and translation/documentation skills; ability to comfortably collaborate with diverse stakeholders from different cultural and game development backgrounds.

2. Distributed Game Project Management: Solid understanding of the game development lifecycle (GDLC), with practical experience or strong knowledge in distributed/remote team management, art outsourcing coordination, or multi-site agile frameworks.

3. Game Research & Analytical Skills: Strong desk research capabilities with a high sensitivity to game market trends; familiar with AI toolsets (e.g., ChatGPT, Midjourney, Copilot) and how they apply to gaming tech or productivity improvement.

4. Language & Time-zone Adaptability: Proficient in English (and other languages depending on region) as a working language; high flexibility to work across different time zones to align with global game studios.
