Paramount Games is hiring a Release Manager to own the end-to-end launch process for one of our live titles. This is a high-visibility role that sits at the intersection of development and publishing, keeping every release moving smoothly from first submission to store front.

About the role

You'll be the driving force behind getting post-launch updates onto every platform, on time and without surprises. Working closely with the Executive Producer and the developer, you'll steer day-to-day releases, keep patches and content updates flowing, and support promotional launches along the way. This role suits someone who thinks in systems, spots problems before they become fires, and is always looking for a better way to run the process.

    • Advise teams on platform compliance requirements, emerging best practices, and new platform opportunities
    • Build and maintain release schedules in partnership with the Executive Producer and developer
    • Serve as the go-to point of contact between development teams and first-party partners
    • Sync with Localization, Marketing, and Development to keep releases on track and high quality
    • Act as the primary technical contact for platform partners
    • Coordinate feature approval processes with platform holders as needed
    • Manage age rating submissions with global rating boards

What you bring

    • Experience shipping on all platforms as a Release Manager (Steam, EGS, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo)
    • Hands-on experience with first-party submission and certification processes
    • Expert knowledge of platform requirements: TRCs, XRs, lotcheck, and similar
    • Strong communication skills, including the ability to hold your ground in tough conversations
    • A proactive mindset and comfort owning outcomes
    • Excellent organizational instincts paired with a solutions-first attitude
    • Genuine passion for games and a solid grasp of the full development lifecycle
    • Familiarity with JIRA, Asana, Miro, and Excel
    • Awareness of relevant regulations such as CVAA, COPPA, and GDPR
    • Prior experience on live-service titles

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
