Experience in a gaming context is a major plus.</span></span><br><br> <div></div><div><span style="font-size:20px;"><strong>Responsibilities</strong></span><br> <ul><li style="line-height:1.38;text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-variant:normal;white-space:pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-weight:400;"><span style="font-style:normal;"><span style="text-decoration:none;">Champion Lean and Agile ways of working, leading the team in standing up the most productive processes for the task at hand.
