Required qualifications include proven experience leading production for successful live service mobile games; demonstrated track record establishing production practices across cross-functional teams; experience leading globally distributed development teams and collaborating with external partners; strong understanding of software development methodologies and modern game production practices; excellent organizational, analytical, and communication skills; exceptional ability to influence and lead without direct authority; strong judgment in identifying and mitigating risks; demonstrated ability to design and implement AI-native workflows and automation; passion for building high-performing teams; and fluency in both English and Japanese.
Desirable experience includes leading production on globally operated free-to-play mobile games, partnering with major entertainment or gaming IP holders, operating games with seasonal LiveOps and continuous content delivery, building or scaling Production organizations through growth, familiarity with geolocation-based or outdoor gaming experiences, and deep appreciation for player-first product development and long-term live service operations.
