　　The second job is seeking someone with 12 or more years of experience. This position is the Head of Production Management for the Skate franchise, which is a leadership position. "As the Head of Product, your central responsibility will manage our Product, Data and Live Ops teams of experts," the listing reads. "You will develop the talent on these teams and guide them to develop excellent, performant, cross-platform games."

　　Both positions are taking applicants now.

　　Creative director Cuz Parry and game director Deran Chung, both of whom appeared in the initial announcement, are veterans of the series, so it's safe to say that some of the folks that helped make the original trilogy iconic will be working on this game alongside new talent.

　　Skate 4 does not have a release date or confirmed platforms yet, but Skate 1-3 all released on PS3 and Xbox 360. A Wii spin-off, Skate It, released in 2008.
