Role
Who you are

What the job involves
- The Unity Platform OS teams are looking for a Senior Engineering Program Manager to help them build the next generation of real time, 3D content creation tools

- As a Platform EPM, you will coordinate delivery of programs that make up the strategic roadmap
- You will collaborate with leaders from engineering, product management, design, technical art, and other teams as required
- You will also play a key role in building relationships and facilitating collaboration with multiple external partners
- You will wear several hats: connector, mentor, reporter, translator, diplomat, and act as a force multiplier for the teams with whom you work
- You should have a highly adaptable program management style, and dedication to cultivating a culture of individual empowerment, ownership, and trust
- Coordinate with engineering and product managers to build and execute against a clear roadmap that balances feature development goals, partner commitments, and operational improvements
- Use effective communication, tools, and program management strategies so teams stay on-track, goals are met, and internal and external partners have the information they need
- Always be iterating on processes and methodologies to improve our velocity, collaboration, and visibility while being respectful of what came before
- Lead by example with well facilitated meetings, clear agendas, and timely follow through on actions
- Internalize and evangelize Unity’s core values: Users first. Best ideas win. In it together. Go bold!
- Software project/program management, working closely with engineering and non-technical teams to facilitate successful delivery of features and products
- Delivery against contractual obligations and managing external relationships
- Management of process and organizational change, working with the current of embedded habits rather than fighting against it
- Establishing relationships, maintaining culture, and optimizing communications to a variety of audiences across different time zones

Our take
Unity Technologies is one of the world's leading game engines. The platform helps artists and developers in gaming to render 3D worlds in real time.
In recent years Unity has expanded its scope by bringing its technology to new industries, including car companies, and film and TV studios who are using Unity to manage production virtually. Having completed an IPO in 2020, Unity’s capabilities are also being used by companies such as Apple and Android to create better AR experiences.
In 2021, 72% of the top 1000 mobile games and 50% of games across mobile, PC and console were made with Unity. The company operates on over 20 different platforms and is active in 190+ countries and territories across the world and continues to develop its technologies and capabilities.
