Associate Development Director

At Housemarque,

we believe gameplay always comes first. With technical excellence and compelling narrative, spiced with our trademark neon flair

and top-notch audiovisual feedback, we want our players to always feel actively engaged with the worlds we have created for

them.

Our award-winning game Returnal, released on PS5 in

2021, and Saros, released in 2026, embrace all these qualities. THIS is our

DNA!

We value Nordic work-life balance by growing sustainably and ensuring our employees have the time and means

to develop personally and professionally during work time.

We were established in 1995 with strong roots in the

Finnish demoscene. In June 2021 we joined the PlayStation Studios, after years of

partnership.

This

is an opportunity to help shape the future of Housemarque, the award-winning PlayStation studio behind Returnal and

SAROS.

We’re looking for an experienced development and project management leader to drive the planning, execution and

continuous improvement of a large-scale console game project.

leadership, you’ll lead the project management discipline across the project; bringing together scope, resources, budget, risk and

development planning to create a clear path towards our goals.

This is a highly collaborative leadership role with

significant influence across the project and studio. You’ll bring clarity to complex development challenges, strengthen how we

plan and work at scale, and ensure our teams have the structures and processes they need to do their best work.

identifying high-impact risks early and driving solutions alongside project leadership.

• Develop and continuously

improve workflows, processes and organisational structures that enable teams to collaborate and deliver effectively at scale.

• Own project-level budgeting and forecasting, and represent the project in broader studio resource and capacity

planning.

• Coordinate complex development dependencies across internal teams, external partners and

co-development studios.

• Provide clear visibility into project health, priorities, risks and trade-offs to studio

leadership and key stakeholders.

Who you are​

identifying and managing project risk, bringing structure and sound judgement to complex or ambiguous development challenges.

creative, technical, product and production disciplines.

• You are comfortable operating at scale, including

working with distributed teams, co-development partners, outsourcing or external vendors.
