We are now looking for a Tech Manager

You’ll manage and support developers from various disciplines and experience levels, helping them grow their skills while aligning their work with Arrowhead’s vision and goals.

You’ll understand both the needs of our players and the project’s broader requirements, using that knowledge to guide professional development and foster a culture of high standards and continuous improvement.

A Tech Manager at Arrowhead knows what great looks like and builds the environment, tools, and practices needed to reach it. You set a high bar, but you also make sure the team has the resources, clarity, and support to meet it. You’re steady under pressure, and can navigate both creative and technical challenges with empathy and confidence.

You’ll lead through influence rather than direct production work, coaching, mentoring, and enabling others to excel in their crafts while ensuring the studio uses its talent to the fullest.

• Can identify what excellence looks like in tech area and help others get there
• Communicate clearly and thoughtfully in English, both written and spoken
• Have proven leadership experience with a track record of guiding successful technical teams in the game industry

What you'll do

• Recruit and onboard new team members
• Set clear expectations, provide constructive feedback, and follow up on goals and development plans
• Conduct performance reviews, development talks, promotions, and salary discussions
• Support your team’s growth by creating opportunities for learning and collaboration
• Build and maintain a safe, inclusive, and inspiring work environment
