Engineering Co-Development Manager

The Engineering Co-Development Manager will act as the primary operational owner of the engineering co-development pipeline, ensuring that incoming technical asks are understood, shaped, tracked, progressed and smoothly executed enabling rapid, high‑quality resourcing outcomes while protecting senior decision‑making capacity.

• Act as first point of contact for incoming Technical (Engineering & QA) resourcing asks from internal studios and technical leaders.
• Understand, shape and clarify asks (scope, urgency, constraints, success criteria).
• Maintain a live pipeline of immediate and speculative opportunities, ensuring nothing stalls or disappears.
• Use Distributed Development BI and availability data to identify suitable candidate pools.
• Conduct first‑pass candidate pre‑qualification (skills, availability, interest, risks).
• Orchestrate engagement mechanics: reporting‑line checks, introductions, meeting scheduling, source and/or collate candidate summaries and bios.
• Support onboarding and early‑stage engagement monitoring; identify friction early.
• Escalate mismatches, risks or ambiguity to External Engineering Director with clear context and options.
• Maintain accurate records, status visibility and lightweight reporting.
