Apply for this job

Do you have a track record of managing team goals successfully? Are you passionate about technology and video games? 
Mad Head Games is looking for a driven and super organised Project Manager who will help us redefine the future of gaming entertainment.

We are unconventional creators of action games for PC and consoles - extremely fun to work with and definitely not for the faint-hearted. For over a decade, we pioneered the local game dev scene, driven by the ambition to become the regional game dev leader.

On that quest, we pave our way with exciting games developed in Unreal Engine. Scars Above, our latest title, is a challenging and immersive 3rd-person Sci-Fi shooter set in a mysterious alien world to explore. We are also developing two new, unannounced games based on famous and beloved IPs, which franchises' fans will eagerly anticipate! While we can't reveal too much just yet, we can promise these titles will push the boundaries of regional game development and generate some serious hype.

We are on the lookout for someone like you to join us in our offices in Belgrade, Novi Sad, and Sarajevo, or remotely. If everything said above ticks all your boxes so far, read on! We might be a match made in heaven!


What will you be doing as a Mad Head?

  • Work with production managers to create, manage, and execute project schedules, resource plans, and processes
  • Work with department leads to properly estimate tasks, as well as create and track milestone deliverables
  • Daily management of development efforts to ensure cross department coordination and communication, task follow up, schedule conflicts, and risk identification/ recommendation
  • Participate in communicating and coordinating with publisher Production groups during all stages of development, release, and post release
  • Coordinate efforts across other areas of production including Outsource and Marketing
  • Identify issues, propose solutions, and potentially execute on process improvements where appropriate to maximize efficiency across all departments
  • Identify and proactively manage aspects of development that require additional leadership


What do we expect from our ideal candidate

  • 3+ years experience in (gaming, IT, film) industry
  • Extensive knowledge of different project management methods and procedures
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Excellent leadership, organization, and problem solving skills
  • Self-motivated, driven individual – able to identify problems and execute on solutions
  • Fluent in English


It would be a plus if you have: 

  • Passion for games
  • Open mindset, with a knack for inspiring others and building strategies
  • The capacity to expand thinking, absorb alternatives and unlock possibilities


In return, here is what we can give:

  • A dynamic and extremely upbeat workplace like you have never seen before
  • Competitive industry standard salaries, because we all know that it matters
  • Flexible working hours: sleep in or start early - we trust you with your time
  • Chance to work with senior professionals and teams from your field of work
  • Premium private medical insurance for you and your family members, as well as other wellbeing benefits - because we care about your physical and mental health
  • More time to rest: 25 days of vacation, plus a company-wide annual leave in January, plus additional days for significant life events like childbirths, wedding leaves, and bereavement, plus short-term sick leaves.
  • A month of 4-hour workdays for all Mad Heads returning from maternity leave - to acclimate and gently return to the workflow.
  • Ongoing education and training: Self-improvement is a priority, so conferences, classes, workshops, and courses (external and internal) are all part of the package
  • Community events: we are heavily involved in developing startup, tech, and gaming ecosystems - and will include you in it
  • Awesome team building events, as well as personalized team bonding events tailored to your preferences
