Project Manager
A Project Manager at Playrix fulfills a key role. This person is
responsible for the company's development, is a driver of change, and
defines and implements visions. Their main goal is to flexibly and
intelligently form an environment of people and processes and to
continuously develop it.
About the company
Playrix is one of the most successful mobile game development
companies
in the world. In terms of mobile application revenue, we rank
first in Europe
and are in the top 3 worldwide. Our games have been
installed 2.3 billion times (that's a third of the world's population!)
and more than 30 million people around the world play them every day.
Tasks
The manager's task is to effectively manage teams in conditions of high
production rates and change. You'll be involved in the entire game
production process, from pre-production and artistic work to creating
engineering perfection. What was appropriate a year ago may not be
consistent with the product strategy today, and the manager should see
that and improve the situation. In addition, a key responsibility and
role of the Project Manager is to create and develop teams. In this
sense, a Playrix manager has "free rein" and almost unlimited
opportunities to build a team.

Working with Us Is Great Because:
-
It's not enough for us to just make good games. Our goal is to create
hits. We maintain our products at the highest technical and visual
levels, often setting quality standards for the entire market. The
company's structure can be called "flat." We do not have multi-level
approvals, regulations for the sake of regulations, unnecessary
formality, and other hallmarks of massive companies with thousands of
employees. You'll be able to make decisions quickly and independently
and influence the company's work from the level of a single sub-team to
the level of all its products.
-
We provide the opportunity to work with the strongest specialists in
the market. First, because we have the capabilities to do so :) And
second, because we sincerely believe that a strong team is the key to
success and the only way to make truly high-quality products. In our
case, that's not simply a nice slogan to write in a job description but
our reality
-
Playrix is a reliable and stable company. The company is twenty years
old, and we are constantly growing. Few teams in the market can boast
such consistent success, so we highly value and take pride in it.
