• Manage relationships with external audio studios and freelance sound designers
• Set and manage audio budgets, schedules, and resourcing
• Establish and evolve audio pipelines, tools, and best practices that scale
• Set and uphold quality bars for mixing, spatial audio, and platform‑specific audio requirements
• Represent audio in cross‑departmental creative reviews
• Stay current with industry trends and emerging tools in game audio, spatial/ immersive sound and adaptive music
• Perform all other duties as assigned
