Job Overview

About the Role We're looking for a Senior Program Manager to serve as the operational backbone of TGC's China business. This is not a conventional PM role — you'll sit at the intersection of strategy and execution, driving cross-functional programs, building operational systems, and enabling the leadership team to move faster on what matters. You'll work cross-functionally and across business units, managing both recurring operational rhythms and high-impact special projects. If you thrive in ambiguity, love building systems from scratch, and get energy from making complex things run smoothly.     What You'll Do Cross-Functional Program Management (~40%) • Lead and coordinate special cross-functional collaboration projects • Drive cross-team projects involving multiple business units and external partners • Own project timelines, stakeholder alignment, risk tracking, and delivery • Translate strategic intent into actionable workstreams with clear owners and milestones Program Infrastructure & Process Design (~35%) • Run and continuously improve the weekly cross-functional alignment session — agenda, facilitation, documentation, and follow-through • Build and maintain program management infrastructure: project tracking systems, SOPs, decision logs, knowledge bases • Design and document cross-functional workflows to improve collaboration efficiency across teams • Support strategic initiatives by coordinating across internal and external stakeholders as needed Strategic Support & Analysis (~25%) • Consolidate operational data to surface insights for leadership decision-making • Prepare briefing materials, status reports, and strategic documents for cross-team alignment • Track and analyze the execution health of China programs — flag risks early, propose solutions • Serve as an information hub: ensure the right people have the right context at the right time     What We're Looking For Must Have • 5–8 years of experience in program management, project management, strategy consulting, or business operations — ideally in gaming, tech, entertainment, or creative industries • Bilingual fluency in English and Chinese (Mandarin) — daily work involves both languages across global and local teams • Proven ability to drive cross-functional projects involving multiple teams with competing priorities • Systems thinker — you don't just manage tasks, you build frameworks that make the next 100 tasks easier • Exceptional written and verbal communication — you can write a crisp executive summary and facilitate a room of senior stakeholders • Comfortable with ambiguity — this role is being built from the ground up; you'll define it as much as execute it Nice to Have • Experience working in a cross-cultural environment (e.g., US-China, global teams with HQ outside China) • Familiarity with corporate governance or compliance workflows in multi-unit organizations • Experience with project management tools (Feishu/Lark, Notion, Asana, or similar) • Background in gaming or interactive entertainment • Experience supporting C-level or VP-level leadership
