As the person leading Technical Program Management – Platform & Studios Relations, you will play a pivotal role in aligning our first-party studios with PlayStation's future platform and network services ecosystem.

We start from strategical planning to set goals and find out the best approach to get there. Then we initiate a program, reach out to first-party studio and platform side leadership to share the plan and head towards our common goal. You will be assigned to multiple studios and/or programs.


This role sits at the intersection of technology, development, and platform strategy - ensuring that our first-party games are fully aligned with platform capabilities and services, and that both Studio and platform teams are equipped with the right insights, timelines, and context needed to move forward together to achieve the goal.

You will own and drive cross-functional programs with significant visibility and autonomy. This is a strategic, hands-on leadership role that actively shapes solutions, fosters alignment, and ensures progress.

The ideal candidate is a natural connector, capable of operating across technical, creative, and executive audiences, and thrives in environments where accountability and initiative are rewarded. Together with the platform business, we aim to deliver PlayStation’s best console launch to date.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead key planning, execution, and communication efforts across complex, cross-functional initiatives, ensuring clarity of goals, progress, and dependencies.

  • Develop crisp, tailored communications and presentation materials for multiple stakeholder levels, from studio teams to SIE senior leadership.

  • Demonstrated success owning and driving large-scale, cross-functional programs with autonomy and impact.

  • Outstanding written, verbal, and visual communication skills — able to present complex topics clearly to a variety of audiences.

  • High stakeholder management skills; able to influence without authority and maintain alignment across dispersed teams.

  • Comfortable operating with ambiguity and complexity; brings structure where needed without stifling creativity.

Preferred Qualifications
