Summary

Please note - this is an in-house role in our Stockholm office. Remote candidates will not be considered.


Hacksaw Studios is a company that builds online games. Our games can be played both in social gaming and real money modes. The games we build are played by millions of people every month from all over the world.


We are currently looking to expand our design team with a project manager who will lead the development process of our game studio. You will be part of our game development team and work in a tight knit team involving many roles, including artists, front-end developers and back-end developers. We have multiple games in development at all times and are now looking for a project manager who can work full time on ensuring that our development process works as smoothly as possible.


We offer a nice office in central Stockholm, an opportunity to work with other experienced project managers as well as a co-ownership program for suitable candidates.


Your tasks will include:


  • Lead the development of several game projects at once, ensuring that all resources are used in the best way possible


  • Ensuring that the various parts of the game development process works as smoothly as possible to minimize delays


  • Communicating with our customers to understand their requirements and deadlines


  • Investigate bug reports and ensure that they are fixed


  • Communicate the status of the ongoing production pipe to senior management


  • Tracking and prioritizing the various parts of the development process of our games in our ticketing system


  • Learn about the online gaming industry and stay up to date on current trends and what is popular with players


  • Participate in game progress reviews and give feedback about the implementation process


  • Creating documentation and reference material for our customers, as required


In order to succeed in this role, you need to be very structured and organized. We will teach you what you need to know about the iGaming industry, but going forward you will be expected to take ownership of the game development process and work day-to-day with artists, game developers and testers to ensure that the process flows as smoothly as possible. You will also be one of the main points of contact with our customers to collect feedback and set deadlines. Hacksaw Studios is part of a large international organization so you will be expected to regularly communicate with colleagues in other countries in English.


Required skills and experience:


  • Project management experience, preferably multiple projects at the same time


  • Good written and spoken English


  • Swedish is a plus


Other things that would be a bonus (but not required):


  • Gaming experience


  • Experience working with cross-functional teams and keeping track of many different types of tasks at once across these teams


  • A personal interest in iGaming
