# Project Manager - Company: [Thatgamecompany]() - Location: China - Shanghai - Team: Marketing - Employment type: Full Time - Posted: June 22, 2026 ## Job description ## **About the Role** We're looking for a Senior Program Manager to serve as the operational backbone of TGC's China business. This is not a conventional PM role — you'll sit at the intersection of strategy and execution, driving cross-functional programs, building operational systems, and enabling the leadership team to move faster on what matters. You'll work cross-functionally and across business units, managing both recurring operational rhythms and high-impact special projects. If you thrive in ambiguity, love building systems from scratch, and get energy from making complex things run smoothly. ## **What You'll Do** ### **Cross-Functional Program Management (~40%)** * Lead and coordinate special cross-functional collaboration projects * Drive cross-team projects involving multiple business units and external partners * Own project timelines, stakeholder alignment, risk tracking, and delivery * Translate strategic intent into actionable workstreams with clear owners and milestones ### **Program Infrastructure & Process Design (~35%)** * Run and continuously improve the weekly cross-functional alignment session — agenda, facilitation, documentation, and follow-through * Build and maintain program management infrastructure: project tracking systems, SOPs, decision logs, knowledge bases * Design and document cross-functional workflows to improve collaboration efficiency across teams * Support strategic initiatives by coordinating across internal and external stakeholders as needed ### **Strategic Support & Analysis (~25%)** * Consolidate operational data to surface insights for leadership decision-making * Prepare briefing materials, status reports, and strategic documents for cross-team alignment * Track and analyze the execution health of China programs — flag risks early, propose solutions * Serve as an information hub: ensure the right people have the right context at the right time ## **What We're Looking For** ### **Must Have** * **5–8 years of experience** in program management, project management, strategy consulting, or business operations — ideally in gaming, tech, entertainment, or creative industries * **Bilingual fluency in English and Chinese** (Mandarin) — daily work involves both languages across global and local teams * **Proven ability to drive cross-functional projects** involving multiple teams with competing priorities * **Systems thinker** — you don't just manage tasks, you build frameworks that make the next 100 tasks easier * **Exceptional written and verbal communication** — you can write a crisp executive summary and facilitate a room of senior stakeholders * **Comfortable with ambiguity** — this role is being built from the ground up; you'll define it as much as execute it ### **Nice to Have** * Experience working in a cross-cultural environment (e.g., US-China, global teams with HQ outside China) * Familiarity with corporate governance or compliance workflows in multi-unit organizations * Experience with project management tools (Feishu/Lark, Notion, Asana, or similar) * Background in gaming or interactive entertainment * Experience supporting C-level or VP-level leadership ## Apply [Apply on Thatgamecompany]() Canonical job page:
