Seattle, United States Electronic Arts Inc. Full time

Finding great talent and supporting our studios to be the best place for people to make an impact is central to our philosophy. This is the principle behind our newly formed Seattle Studio focusing on open-world action-adventure games and pioneering next-generation emergent storytelling. Join us to pursue your passion to build unique, groundbreaking, and inclusive games that empower players to create incredible stories of heroic adventure.

Become a foundational part of an ambitious, respectful and diverse team as we are looking for a Development Director responsible for driving collaborative game development strategy across multiple feature teams and delivering a successful experience.

Making games is unpredictable, and we're all in it together. Development Directors are our drivers, listening and working with all our experts to find a way through. Development Directors determine the “how” for the team and are responsible for ensuring the team is focused on the priorities identified by leadership while maintaining continuous alignment during development.

As a Development Director focusing on content development, you will define workflows, best practices and tools to refine how our team works together to create content to produce an amazing game experience.

You will collaborate with team members and leadership to define, develop, refine and approve the content that is produced for our game. In a supporting role, you will work with all areas of development to ensure there are clear consistent expectations across the team and all stakeholders' needs are getting met. As our team grows, you will help oversee specific disciplines’ content creation efforts to keep our team working efficiently.

Responsibilities:

  • Work with disciplinary leadership to understand their workflow needs and refine our development and production practices to accommodate them.
  • Champion the creation and refinement of our asset management toolset helping to create consistent processes to track our content through all stages of development.
  • Manage the content creation for assigned disciplines ensuring they have a clear roadmap to meet the teams needs and are never blocked by dependencies.
  • In collaboration with the rest of the production team, take responsibility for production processes and health for assigned area of responsibility, continually ensuring that the team’s infrastructure and rituals support healthy, productive outputs.
  • Inspire fresh thinking and new ideas to ensure the team has the structure and processes that empower them to innovate within our games and our development methodology.
  • You will also have a passion and empathy for solving people's problems and building happy, motivated teams.

Qualifications:

  • 5+ years working with game development teams in a Development Director or Production role.
  • Experience directly supporting VFX, Animation, Characters or Cinematic teams in a game development environment.
  • Knowledge of asset management tools and software. ShotGrid experience preferred.
  • Experience managing diverse teams across different time zones and locations.
  • The ability to communicate across all levels of an organization.
  • Experience with agile project management processes.
  • Experience obtaining insights and developing strategies through analytical metrics-driven analysis and design experimentation.
  • Experience using KPIs to set product success goals, monitoring the product and informing necessary changes to the game.
  • Team player that brings excitement and enthusiasm to work each day.
  • Strong communication and writing skills, with experience preparing and presenting decks to various stakeholders.
