Do you enjoy empowering teams of researchers, developers, designers and technical artists to do their best in the midst of complex production constraints? Do you thrive at helping people prioritize and plan ahead, untangling multi-team dependencies and supporting teams across the various development processes? Are you a tenacious alignment seeker, a master of chaos? Are you interested in helping developers and researchers drive solutions and demos to a polished sheen and report back status? Do you take pride in your ability to drive alignment around complex problems involving multiple stakeholder groups and tricky technology constraints? 

As a program manager you will help drive the creation and evolution of the roadmap for a set of research and incubation teams working on multiple technologies key to the evolution of Unity. You will also coordinate, plan and follow technical prototype projects to showcase the newly developed research. You will work with each team to define clear and realistic research plans, help evaluate resource needs and balance schedules, team morale, and the overall vision.

• Facilitate collaboration with other teams and producers where more complex projects/initiatives require higher level coordination.
• Circulate regular status updates to stakeholders, providing a concise high-level view into teams’ progress against goals.
• Use fluency in common research and prototype methodologies and deep empathy to improve team members’ ability to plan and deliver. 
• Work closely with the team(s) to facilitate the identification of risks and mitigation approaches by the team.

Requirements

• Experience in software project management and/or game production and working cross disciplinary teams. 
• Collaboration and communication skills: listen to, speak with, and resolve conflicts with members of varied disciplines in a clear and efficient manner.
• Results-oriented, organized and methodical, comfortable dealing with ambiguity. 

Bonus Points
