Bungie is looking for a capable and collaborative project manager to support localization efforts for the Destiny IP and simultaneously aid in building out a pipeline to support multiple concurrent projects. As a Localization Project Manager, you are aware of the unique challenges of sim-shipping AAA-quality content in the game and publishing spaces, and adept at addressing them by navigating both internal and external workflows and relationships. While working under direction to start, growth will focus on increased autonomy and expertise across multiple localization areas with the end goal of an accomplished generalist who acts as connective tissue between the many disciplines, internal and external teams, and vendors that interact and collaborate to generate both in-game and out-of-game content at Bungie.
With the uncertainty and rapidly changing circumstances surrounding COVID-19, most positions at Bungie are expected to onboard and work from home for a significant portion of 2021. In 2022, most Bungie employees will adopt a flexible schedule working from home part time (outside of positions identified as either 100% onsite or fully remote in CA, IL, NC, TX, and WA). Currently only a select range of positions are available for full-time remote work in CA, IL, NC, TX, and WA (please review location for details). Prospective employees located outside of CA, IL, NC, TX, and WA will need to establish WA state residency within 45 days of a start date. Bungie’s work from home, flexible work schedule, and remote policy is subject to change at the company’s discretion.
