Junior Project Manager

Gylee Games is looking for an Assistant Project Manager to join our development team. This is a hands‑on production role for someone who loves organization, games, and getting things done. You’ll work closely with the Game Director, and development team to make sure everyone knows what they’re working on, priorities are clear, blockers are identified quickly, and tasks actually make it across the finish line. Just as importantly, this isn't a role where you'll only be moving tickets around a board. We're looking for someone who's comfortable jumping in and helping with tasks themselves when appropriate. This is an on‑site position based in Cincinnati, Ohio. We believe game development is at its best when teams can collaborate closely, solve problems together, and move quickly. This role will work directly alongside our development team in our Cincinnati studio and is not a remote position. What You'll Do Keep the Team Organized Own the day‑to‑day organization of the team's task board and development backlog. Make sure every team member has clearly defined priorities and actionable tasks. Create, assign, update, and follow up on tasks throughout development. Keep Jira and other project management tools clean, accurate, and useful. Track deadlines, dependencies, blockers, and deliverables. Help break larger features and milestones into manageable tasks. Follow up with team members to make sure work is progressing and identify issues before they become problems. Help prepare and run standups, sprint planning, milestone reviews, and other production meetings. Support Development We want someone who's willing to jump into the work—not just manage it. Depending on your skills and the needs of the team, that could include: Testing new builds and features. Writing and managing bug reports. Helping maintain design and production documentation. Gathering references and conducting research. Preparing builds and materials for internal or external reviews. Organizing assets and implementation needs. #J-18808-Ljbffr Gylee Games
