About Scopely

Scopely is expanding the possibilities of play through game experiences that aim to inspire community, connection and competition. Inspire play, every day. Backed by Battery, Bessemer and NEA.

About the role

We're looking for a Director, Slate Operations to own this end to end. There are two sides to it: keeping the Group running as an organization — its cadence, process, and the day-to-day support the Game Board, Head of Slate Development and leadership team rely on — and running program management for the Game Development Framework (GDF) so games move cleanly from concept to launch.

What they're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree, MBA a plus — or the equivalent in experience
  • 10+ years in program/project management across tech and direct-to-consumer businesses, at least 5 of them in games, working within or alongside a development team
  • You know how games get made and sold — development, publishing, platforms, business models. You don't need to have shipped one yourself, but you get what game teams are up against
  • You've supported senior execs in a fast-moving environment and you like the pace — taking initiative, juggling priorities, switching gears without losing the thread
  • You can run a lot of projects at once, ideally a mix of R&D and live
  • You're comfortable in ambiguity and good at creating clarity for other people. You make sound calls in the company's interest and know when to escalate
