  • Champion project goals and drive the delivery of AAA-quality game content in alignment with the game's vision and technical requirements.

  • Lead and manage the development process by working closely with project leadership and feature teams to plan, scope, and manage features and content in accordance with high-level project roadmaps and budgets.

  • Develop and maintain project schedules, budgets, and resource allocations, while continually refining plans to adapt to evolving project needs and priorities.

  • Drive consensus among stakeholders at all levels to ensure alignment on deadlines, requirements, and priorities.

  • Define workflows and processes that facilitate collaboration, clear communication, and accountability.

  • Identify potential risks and challenges early in the development process, and proactively develop mitigation strategies to address them, ensuring project success and minimizing disruptions.

  • Line manage junior producers, facilitate team planning sessions, and drive process improvements to enhance production efficiency and effectiveness.

    You're the Swiss Army knife of problem-solving, tackling challenges with a mix of creativity and methodical precision. Armed with killer communication skills and a knack for bringing people together, you'll be the driving force behind turning project dreams into reality., 5+ years of Production experience.

  • Experience producing at least 1 published title through an entire project lifecycle (ideally AAA).

  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, with previous experience managing cross-functional teams in the creation and delivery of complex projects.

  • In-depth knowledge of project management practices and methodologies, with a solid understanding of game development or software development processes.

  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to effectively communicate with stakeholders at varying levels, both within the team and throughout the organization.

  • Ability to exhibit problem-solving skills daily, viewing each new challenge as an opportunity for success, and creatively and methodically approaching challenges to achieve resolutions.

  • Experience with open-world RPGs is a plus.
