Role Description

We're looking for a Live Ops and Production Manager to own day-to-day execution and content delivery for a remote team building a mobile football game. This role combines sprint management, Live Ops calendar ownership, and cross-functional coordination across engineering, design, art, and QA.

  • Keep momentum high and ship updates on schedule.
  • Ensure work does not stall between disciplines.
  • Hands-on Live Ops experience in mobile free-to-play games.
  • Ability to keep a distributed team moving without losing quality.

Qualifications

  • 2 to 5+ years of experience in production or project management within mobile casual or free-to-play games.
  • Hands-on Live Ops experience including scheduled events, content releases, and offer management.
  • Strong understanding of F2P fundamentals including events, retention loops, and monetization cadence.
  • Proven ability to manage multiple concurrent workstreams in a fast-moving environment.
  • Clear written communication and strong async collaboration skills across distributed teams.
  • Experience using Linear or comparable project management tools.
  • High ownership mindset with strong follow-through and a bias toward action.

Requirements

  • Own the Live Ops calendar and coordinate event, offer, and content releases end to end.
  • Ensure assets, builds, QA gates, and approvals are aligned before every launch.
  • Build repeatable checklists and release processes that reduce last-minute risk.
  • Monitor event performance and flag issues or optimization opportunities quickly.
  • Own sprint planning, execution, and retrospective cadence.
  • Translate product priorities into clear sprint scope with defined definitions of done.
  • Maintain backlog clarity and ticket quality with strong acceptance criteria.
  • Keep workstreams aligned and moving across all disciplines.
  • Drive dependencies and handoffs across engineering, art, design, and QA.
  • Surface risks early and escalate blockers before they become delays.
  • Maintain alignment across time zones and functions without creating unnecessary process overhead.
  • Coordinate build readiness and own go or no-go decisions before each release.
  • Support structured bug triage and prioritization.
  • Maintain release documentation, update logs, and post-launch reviews.
  • Operate inside Linear as the single source of truth for project status.
  • Enforce clean boards, clear workflows, and consistent documentation standards.
  • Use AI tools to accelerate documentation, ticket writing, and process hygiene.

Benefits

  • You will be paid in USD (bi-monthly: every 15th and 30th).
  • Paid Time Off in accordance with company policy.
  • Observance of Holidays per company guidelines.
  • 100% remote setup so you can work wherever you're most productive.
  • High ownership role embedded directly with product, engineering, and creative teams.
  • Work on a globally licensed football gaming platform with real player impact.
  • Timezone: This role requires availability during Central European Time with overlap into Pacific Time for cross-team collaboration.

Nice to Have

  • Experience working on licensed IP or sports-related mobile games.
  • Familiarity with build and release pipelines.
  • Exposure to automated QA processes.
  • Comfort reading analytics dashboards and validating event performance.
  • Experience balancing feature development with ongoing Live Ops simultaneously.

How to Apply

Please include:

  • Your updated resume.
  • A short Loom video (1 to 2 minutes) describing your Live Ops experience, what a typical release cycle looked like in your last role, and how you kept a cross-functional team aligned during a high-pressure launch.
