Senior Release Manager

Stockholm, Stockholm, Sweden Paradox Interactive Full time

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:

  • Oversee multi-platform releases across the full game lifecycle, partnering with production to integrate platform, compliance, and publishing requirements from early development through post-launch.
  • Own Compliance & Submissions – Serve as the company's subject matter expert for first-party processes, building relationships with Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC platform partners.
  • Shape Process & Policy – Design, document, and implement release management workflows that scale across products, teams, and regions.
  • Drive Risk Management – Anticipate release challenges, implement mitigation plans, and act as the escalation point for high-priority issues.
  • Guide & Support – Share expertise with Release Managers, contribute to best practices, and help raise the quality and efficiency of release operations across the team.

You will operate at both a strategic and tactical level—ensuring day-to-day releases run smoothly while also improving how the company ships games over the long term.

The Skills we are searching for

  • 5+ years of experience in release management, production, or equivalent roles in the games industry, with at least 2 years in a senior/lead capacity.
  • Proven track record of releasing and publishing at least one base game on multiple platforms, including at least one console release.
  • Deep understanding of the full game development lifecycle and its integration with publishing workflows. Extensive knowledge of first-party submission and certification processes for Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC platforms.
  • Strong project management skills with experience using tools such as JIRA and partner portals. Experience leading and mentoring other release managers or production staff.
  • Fluency in English, both written and spoken.

On a personal level, you are an experienced leader who can manage complexity across multiple teams, platforms, and timelines. You are comfortable advising senior stakeholders, setting strategic priorities, and ensuring operational excellence in every release.

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.
