Project Manager

Nekki is a game development studio with over 20 years of experience, and our PC/Console division is focusing on quality animation-based games for PC and consoles. Currently, we are seeking a Project Manager to work on a new console action project, SPINE. SPINE is made with Unreal Engine 5 and centered around cinematic gun-fu shootouts. It’s a third-person beat’em’up with a full set of PC gaming features, including a deep storyline, a unique setting, cutscenes, intriguing enemies, memorable bosses, character progression, and, most importantly, breathtaking battles with a wide array of firearms.

Responsibilities:

• Owning complex project areas and turning high-level goals or problem statements into actionable delivery plans.
• Managing cross-functional teams and coordinating technical and content development, translating constraints into clear actions while managing dependencies, risks, capacity, priorities, scope, and delivery.
• Coordinating external builds, playtests, porting, certification, and work with outsourcing partners, ensuring milestones, quality, and statuses remain transparent.
• Establishing and improving project processes, helping teams become more autonomous while ensuring risks and blockers are surfaced early.

What we are looking for:

• 3+ years of experience as a Project Manager or Producer in PC or console game development, with hands-on ownership of day-to-day team delivery and task flow.
• Strong ownership, planning, prioritization, risk management, and cross-functional communication skills.
• Ability to independently structure ambiguous problem areas, maintain a healthy task flow, and drive them toward resolution.
• High-level understanding of game development topics such as optimization, performance and memory constraints, build pipelines, integration, and platform limitations.
• Experience with outsourcing, console porting, certification, or console release processes is highly desirable.
• Understanding of Unreal Engine workflows is highly desirable.

We offer:

• A great team with a friendly, informal work environment where we share interests, play video games together, and organize internal events (game jams, tournaments, and meetups).
• Opportunities for professional development, including participation in specialized conferences and educational events.
• Work remotely from anywhere.
• Working hours: 10 AM – 7 PM (GMT+3, including a 1-hour break), with the option to adjust.
• Support for personal growth: English courses, psychologist sessions and various educational programs.
• Internal coins you can collect and exchange for unique merch in our store.
