FROM THE ARTICLE
It’s been a while since we ran a ‘What I Do’ feature, so let’s rectify that!

This week’s instalment is a very fun one. The main reason I started the column was to help shed a light on every corner of games development, from the most obvious job descriptions to the most obscure. And I don’t think there are many more obscure than ‘Operations Manager’.

Do you know what an Operations Manager does? Aside from…managing operations? Probably not! But it’s an incredibly important job, often serving as the glue that can help hold an entire project–and studio–together. To help me (and you!) better understand the role and what it involves, I spoke with Michael Ailshie about operational health, keeping the lights on and…being a voice actor for Hades.
