About the Role

<h3><strong><img style="max-width: 100%;" src="https://wargaming.com/media/ckeditor_uploads/2025/08/26/Banner-SM-648%20x%20211-Version300ppi.png" alt="" width="648"></strong></h3> <h3><strong>Job Overview</strong></h3> <p><strong>About the Project</strong></p> <p>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.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>About the Team</strong></p> <p>Our teams work on and own the backend systems and meta game features that shape the player's experience outside of battle - progression, economy, collections, social features, and more. &nbsp;We create the battle experience where a player drives a mighty tank into a battle to gain a victory against other players. &nbsp;</p> <p>A &nbsp;team consists of developers and QAs who collaborate closely with game designers, UX designers, and UI artists. We hold ourselves to a high technical bar and care deeply about both craft and delivery.&nbsp;</p> <p>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.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>The Role</strong></p> <p>As a Project Manager, you work with the team to turn product vision into deliverable iterations, balance competing priorities, and keep everything moving. You're not here to push tasks, but you're here to build a system where a talented team can do their best work and ship reliably.&nbsp;</p> <p>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 productively. You're a force multiplier. When you're doing your job well, everyone around you is more effective.&nbsp;</p> <h3><strong>Reports to</strong></h3> <div class="cw-property-256 cw-subtitle-255" data-log-name="JobTitle"> <div
