Enterprise Integration: Partner deeply with EA’s Central Enterprise Technology and Security teams to leverage existing technology investments and ensure alignment.

Lead Technical Governance: Establish robust architecture review processes, define API and SDK integration standards, and continually improve the developer experience (DevEx) for studio game teams adopting the Network.

The Leadership Triad: Collaborate as an equal partner with the Sr. Dir of Product Management and Creative Director to ensure technical feasibility meets product viability and experience design excellence.

Influence without Authority: Build alignment and drive technical consensus across disparate franchise studios, Central Technology teams, and external partners.

Partner closely with Product Management, Experience Design, Operations, Studios, and Enterprise Technology.
