Lead the operational health and live game execution for MONOPOLY GO!, driving strategy across live operations, calendar management, performance, and GameOps tooling for one of the biggest mobile game launches in history.
Scopely is looking for a Production Director, Live Operations to join our MONOPOLY GO! game team. This role can be based remotely in the UK or from our Barcelona hub on a hybrid basis.
MONOPOLY GO! is a global phenomenon and the biggest mobile game launch in history, captivating millions of players worldwide.
At Scopely, we care deeply about what we do and want to inspire play every day—whether in our work environments alongside our talented colleagues or through our deep connections with our communities of players. We are a global team of game lovers who are developing, publishing, and innovating the games industry, connecting millions of people around the world daily.
As Production Director, Live Operations, you will own the operational health of MONOPOLY GO!'s live game execution. This role oversees the systems, teams, and operational practices that enable the game to ship reliably, perform consistently, and respond quickly to the needs of both players and developers.
You'll lead the production strategy across Live Operations, the LiveOps Calendar, Live Performance, and GameOps Tooling, ensuring the organization can execute thousands of live changes safely while continually improving speed, quality, and operational efficiency.
This is not a role that operates solely from the executive level. We are looking for someone who is equally comfortable defining multi-year operational strategy as they are diving into release schedules, incidents, production bottlenecks, tooling workflows, and execution details. You'll know when to zoom out and shape the future of Live Operations—and when to roll up your sleeves to unblock a launch or improve a production workflow.
We believe AI can meaningfully transform how Live Operations organizations execute at scale. In this role, you'll be expected to actively leverage AI-enabled tools to improve operational planning, scheduling, documentation, communication, incident response, production analytics, decision support, and workflow automation.
We value leaders who continually experiment with emerging AI technologies to reduce operational overhead, improve decision-making, increase release quality, and enable teams to move faster while maintaining exceptional standards of safety and execution.
At Scopely, we create games for everyone - and want to ensure that the people behind our games reflect that! We are committed to creating a diverse, supportive work environment where everyone is treated with respect. We are committed to providing equal employment opportunities and welcome individuals from all backgrounds to join us & embrace the adventure!
