Program Manager - EA Sports Academy 


EA SPORTS is one of the most iconic brands in entertainment – we connect hundreds of millions around the world to the sports they love through a portfolio of industry-leading video games.

The Role

We're looking for a Program Manager to join the EA Sports Central Operations team. The Program Manager will primarily focus on leading the EA SPORTS Mentoring Programs as well as overall execution on EA Sports central initiatives. You will have program ownership: from execution to cohort engagement, performance support, and future program evolution. 

You will report to the Head of Operations for EA Sports Central Operations, work onsite/hybrid at our Burnaby location, be at a manager-equivalent level (without direct reports), and collaborate with Game Teams, Talent Acquisition, Engineering, and People Experience in your role.


Responsibilities

  • You will complete planning implementation of the delivery of the first iteration of the EA SPORTS Mentoring Programs, ensuring high-quality execution of the program as designed, while building a strong understanding of program goals, indicators, and structure.

  • You will build relationships with program participants and their managers to support development, engagement, and program outcomes.

  • You will continuously assess program effectiveness, using feedback and performance data to improve program structure, participant experience, and delivery approach.

  • You will lead regular updates to the program’s instructional content and curriculum, incorporating both technical and soft skill elements.

  • You will collaborate with Heads of Operations on program timing, pairing and team communication.

  • You will work with all participants to support consistency across mentor/mentee interactions.

  • You will support the Head of Operations in program management across other central initiatives that support overall people development within EA SPORTS.


Ideal Background

You will bring:

  • 5+ years of relevant experience.

  • Several years focused on talent, learning, or program operations work.

  • Experience supporting a program through more than one full cycle or iteration.

  • Experience working in creative, technical environments where people and process intersect - such as games, VFX, animation, tech, or tech-adjacent industries.
