Associate Production Manager — Electronic Arts (Motive)

At Electronic Arts, I was the production manager of the Open World, Missions, and Technical Design teams (level designers, level artists, tech designers, and writers). I was directly responsible for roadmaps across several downstream disciplines: VFX, audio, narrative design, cinematics, modelling, lighting. As a member of production, I led creative director reviews + planned with technical and creative leads on a daily basis.

Stats:

• Mandates of intermediate-level manager (1: Missions, 2: Open World + Tech Design).

• Of any associate on the project, I had the highest task creation & directly managed the most cross-disciplinary teams.

• Creator of Blueprint review channel for programmers + designers alike.

• Direct manager of critical gate for restructuring of game's flow, including creation, management, and communication of tasks prior to gate's lock

My favourite part of the job was the people management; outside of roadmaps + Jira, I focused on creating a culture of growth, listening, & acknowledgement of team successes. It became a creative way to find solutions for those in my team, and I was happy to do so. Implementing knowledge sharing sessions, a Blueprints review channel, director office hours, and play sessions brought me so much joy—because I saw how much the people appreciated it. I think the little things make a big difference.
