Who We Are:

This role is part of the 2K Commercial Operations team that is responsible for its P&L, business strategy, and operations globally. We partner across the organization through influence and relationships to orchestrate a unified, effective, and scalable effort. At any given moment we are the supporter, leader, approver, and/or responsible party with other internal and external teams.
What You Will Do:

You will collaborate with a passionate group of product, marketing, analytics and operational teams to facilitate execution and communication.
The right candidate will possess a strong project management background and will have proven experience leading multiple complex projects at the same time. You are able to thrive and succeed in a collaborative environment with a diverse set of globally-distributed partners and not be hindered by ambiguity or competing priorities.

- Display a basic understanding of the NBA2k franchise and game in order to contextualize projects and understand potential conflicts or opportunities competing projects might present
- Work effectively both independently and in a team-based environment, being incredibly pro-active and not shy to call out issues and prioritize resolution
Who We Feel Will Be a Great Fit:
- BA/BS Degree or equivalent required
- 5+ years experience in project management or technical leadership, ideally with some experience in digital products/commerce/e-commerce – gaming experience a plus but not required
