Job Summary:

As a Delivery Manager, you make delivery reliable across a portfolio of game studios. You do not build the games. Each studio lead owns their team’s production and their committed dates. Your job is to validate and de-risk those commitments before they go upward, and to own the cross-studio seam no single studio can see: risks, dependencies, and blockers across teams.

You lead through influence, not direct control. You support studio leads toward autonomy and scale your involvement to how established each one is. You go hands-on where a lead is still growing and stay light-touch where they run reliably on their own.

The strongest sign of your success is a studio that no longer needs you. You also line-manage a

team of Delivery Coordinators who keep day-to-day coordination running.

Key Responsibilities:
- Validate & De-Risk Commitments:
Stress-test each studio lead’s delivery plan, estimates, and risks before they go upward. You challenge and de-risk; you do not overwrite. Where a date stays in dispute, you escalate it cleanly rather than override.




- Own the Cross-Studio Seam:
Coordinate and clarify dependencies, risks, and blockers across studios, always respecting each studio lead's ownership of their own team.
- Support Studio Leads Toward Autonomy:
Support studio leads as they grow, matched to each studio’s maturity. Work more closely with newer leads and ease off as a studio runs reliably on its own. Think of your role as scaffolding: temporary support that helps a studio stand on its own.
- Lead & Develop Coordinators:
Line-manage a team of Delivery Coordinators, set consistent coordination standards, and grow their careers. Arbitrate when a studio’s day-to-day urgency and your cross-studio priorities collide, so your coordinators are never caught between two bosses.
- Manage Risk & Escalation:
Decide which risks to absorb and which to escalate. Raise issues early, with explicit framing and timing, so the business handles them before they reach s
