As Director of Live Roadmap & Release Operations
, you will own the operational health, integrity, and readiness of MONOPOLY GO!’s live roadmap and release ecosystem.

You will lead the systems, processes, and operating rhythms that turn product, content, events, promotions, tooling, and technical initiatives into coordinated and reliable live releases. This includes roadmap governance, dependency management, release readiness, risk assessment, deployment coordination, operational tooling, incident response, and post-release validation.

This role sits at the intersection of Production, Live Operations, Product, Engineering, and QA
. We are looking for someone who combines strong operational leadership with enough technical depth to work credibly with Engineering teams and improve the systems behind live delivery.

The background could come from Live Operations, Production, Release Management, Technical Production, or Engineering Management
. What matters most is demonstrated experience operating close to live releases and production environments, coordinating complex cross‑functional delivery, and improving the processes and technical systems that support execution at scale.

You should be equally comfortable shaping long‑term operating strategy, working through a complex dependency or release plan with delivery teams, partnering with engineers on tooling and automation, or stepping into a critical launch or incident to help drive resolution.

• Own the operating health of the live roadmap, ensuring priorities, sequencing, dependencies, capacity, and release plans are realistic and executable
• Establish and evolve the end‑to‑end operating model for taking work from roadmap definition through development, validation, approval, deployment, monitoring, and post‑release review
• Lead release governance and readiness, including risk‑based gates, clear ownership, go/no‑go processes, escalation paths, rollback planning, and post‑release validation
• Coordinate complex, high‑frequency live releases across Product, Engineering, Live Operations, Production, QA, Content, and other partner teams
• Identify roadmap, technical, operational, and dependency risks early and drive clear mitigation and decision‑making
• Partner closely with Engineering to improve deployment pipelines, configuration workflows, validation systems, observability, dashboards, automation, and operational tooling
• Translate operational needs into clear technical requirements and help prioritize tooling and platform improvements that reduce manual work and release risk
• Establish metrics and reporting that provide visibility into roadmap health, release readiness, throughput, incidents, rework, operational load, and time to resolution
• Improve production and release workflows by removing unnecessary handoffs, clarifying ownership, increasing automation, and creating sustainable operating standards
• Step into critical launches, incidents, or escalations when cross‑functional coordination and rapid decision‑making are required
• Lead operational change across teams, helping new processes, tooling, and ways of working become…
