Jill’s Answer
In games, the role you are describing is usually called a Producer or Project Manager. This role involves coordinating the work done across programmers, designers, and artists. You may also coordinate other activities like testing the game, translating the game in other languages, or getting the game published to a store on mobile, PC, or console.
In a role like this, it is important to be very good at organizing things and have a strong attention to detail and be good at working with people. It can also help to have some related knowledge in programming, art, or design, but that isn’t always required. Finally, it’s very helpful to be familiar with games. Playing games will help you understand what parts of the game need to be built, from menus to levels to characters and more.
