Have you released a base game and add-on content across Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo? Have you handled build uploads, certification, and storefront setup yourself — not just overseen the process? If so, we want you on our team.
At Paradox Interactive, we’re looking for a Senior Release Manager who can take ownership of complex, multi-platform launches from start to finish. This role combines strategic oversight with hands-on execution, and we need someone ready to step in now and lead simultaneous releases across PC and consoles.
Your Mission
This is a senior leadership role with portfolio-wide responsibilities, requiring both strategic oversight and direct leadership of release management practices across all Paradox Interactive products.
You will be responsible for the end-to-end release management strategy for a diverse portfolio of titles, ensuring smooth, timely, and compliant launches across PC (Steam, Epic, GOG) and console platforms (Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox). This includes advising leadership on release readiness, aligning production and publishing teams, and ensuring processes are both efficient and scalable across the organization.
In This Role, You Will
The Skills We Are Searching For
In this role, you’ll work across a diverse portfolio, influence how we release games globally, and be trusted with real ownership over processes that shape the player experience.
Today, Paradox consists of both publishing and internal game development. We have a broad portfolio of games and own the most important brands, including Stellaris, Europa Universalis, Hearts of Iron, Crusader Kings, Cities: Skylines, Prison Architect, Victoria, Age of Wonders and the World of Darkness catalog of brands.
Since 2004, the company has published its games all over the world, initially through physical distribution but primarily in digital channels after 2006. Paradox games are developed primarily for PC and console platforms, but the company also releases games on mobile. The largest markets today include the US, UK, China, Germany, France and Scandinavia. In total, Paradox games have over five million players each month.
