At EA, we believe games are powerful because they bring together multiple ways people engage: play, watch, create, and connect. And increasingly, the biggest entertainment platforms aren't just places to consume content — they're places where communities build.

Creator-made content is already a proven part of EA's history — from community creation tools in Battlefield to The Gallery in The Sims 4. We believe new creative technologies and tools will expand how players engage with and contribute to our experiences, supported by thoughtful product design, safety systems, and global reach. Our focus is on enabling more players to participate in creative expression by making creation easier, safer, and more rewarding.

We are looking for a Head of Operations who is deeply passionate about the AI space and eager to work directly with a core group of world-class researchers and engineers. If you are excited by the idea of using modern automation tools to optimize how organizations work and want to pioneer the future of operations, this is your moment.

In this role, you will partner closely with the SVP, Head of R&E, to translate technology strategy into clear operational processes. You will manage the team's budget planning, talent strategy, and external partnerships so our engineering teams can focus entirely on innovation.
