Project Manager (World of Tanks: HEAT)

Job Overview About the Project World of Tanks: HEAT is a cross-platform (PC and consoles) tank MMO shooter currently in development. We're building on the legacy of one of the most successful free-to-play games while creating something fresh for a new generation of players. About the Team Our teams own and develop core gameplay systems that define the player’s experience in battle, including hero abilities, agent creation, combat mechanics, and game modes. We build the systems that make moment-to-moment gameplay engaging, responsive, and strategically deep. From designing unique hero kits to implementing new gameplay loops and modes, we shape how players interact with the game at its core. A team consists of game mode and hero designers, UX designers, C++ and UI developers, and QAs, working together to deliver cohesive gameplay experiences. We collaborate closely with art teams — including VFX, SFX, 2D Art and 3D modeling — to bring mechanics and abilities to life with strong visual and audio feedback. We hold ourselves to a high technical bar and care deeply about both craft and delivery. As we grow, we need more support on the managerial side. You'll join an existing Delivery Manager who will support your onboarding and partner with you as we scale. The Role As a Project Manager, you work with the team to turn gameplay vision into deliverable iterations — from new hero mechanics and ability systems to full-fledged game modes. You balance competing priorities, ensure alignment between design and implementation, and keep development moving smoothly. You're not here to push tasks, but to build a system where a talented team can do their best work and ship reliably. This role requires a servant leadership mindset. You enable teams rather than direct them. You create visibility, remove impediments, and empower people to self-organize and collaborate effectively across disciplines. You help navigate the complexity of gameplay development — where design iteration, technical constraints, and player experience must come together seamlessly. You're a force multiplier. When you're doing your job well, the team delivers high-quality gameplay features faster, with clarity and confidence. Reports to Delivery Manager What will you do?
