  • Partner with Directors and Discipline Leads to translate the creative vision into actionable roadmaps, sprint goals, and quantifiable milestones.
  • Design, implement, and refine production workflows across design, art, engineering, and audio to maximize developer efficiency and deliverable predictability.
  • Proactively identify creative, technical, or timeline bottlenecks early; execute scope triage and risk mitigation strategies to keep teams moving smoothly.
  • Act as the central communication hub, translating technical and creative priorities across teams, hosting sprint rituals, and providing clear roadmap updates to studio leadership.
  • Utilize production metrics (velocity, burndown, capacity planning) to optimize workflows, balance workloads, and inform strategic decisions.
  • Foster a transparent, highly collaborative work environment, protecting developer well-being while holding teams accountable to delivery goals.
Qualifications
  • 7+ years of game production experience, with at least one shipped title in a Senior, Lead, or Tech Producer capacity supporting full development lifecycles from concept to launch.
  • Proven ability to manage dependencies, hand-offs, and workflows across engineering, design, art, audio, and narrative disciplines.
  • Expert-level command of Jira and Confluence, with hands-on experience adapting Agile, Scrum, or Kanban frameworks to custom studio pipelines.
  • Demonstrated ability to make pragmatic scope trade-offs that preserve core player experience while hitting critical dates.
  • Experience supporting post-launch support cycles, content drops, or live game operations.
  • Exceptional interpersonal skills with a proven track record of bridging communication gaps between high-level creative visionaries and technical execution teams.
Pluses
  • Direct experience shipping on PC and major console platforms (Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo), including managing first-party submission pipelines and certification processes.
  • Experience coordinating with co-development studios, external vendors, or outsourcing partners.
  • Strong technical literacy in core engine tools, backend dependencies, and developer workflow tooling.
  • Experience managing content-heavy pipelines or episodic release schedules.
