About the role

As Publishing Product Director, you are the creative custodian of one of Crytek’s games, embedded inside the game team, accountable for protecting the creative vision and translating the promise of the game into work that the publishing team can execute with conviction.

Responsibilities

  • Be the custodian of the game’s creative vision, tone, and player promise, and translate it into work that publishing can execute with conviction
  • Sit embedded inside the game team and act as the daily bridge between game leadership and the publishing organisation
  • Serve as the source of truth on what the game is, what is coming next, and what it means for players, across Marketing, Comms, Community, and Commercial

  • Partner with the Chief Publishing Officer and Brand & Marketing Director to shape go-to-market plans that serve the game and the business in equal measure
  • Drive franchise narrative, player promise, and creative direction across reveals, beats, and post-launch moments
  • Protect the game team from operational noise so they can focus on building, while translating publishing priorities into work the team can act on
  • Keep the north star intact on both ends, keeping publishing grounded in the game’s vision, and the game team grounded in player and market reality

Qualifications

  • 8+ years working at the seam between game development and publishing or marketing, with significant time embedded inside game teams
  • Proven ability to translate creative vision into commercial activation without compromising either side, with strong creative judgement and editorial instinct you can defend under pressure

  • Cross-functional leadership and the ability to influence without authority across game and publishing teams
