Job summary

Light & Wonder in Sydney, Australia, seeks an experienced Game Producer to drive slot game production and cross-functional collaboration. You will align design, art, math, engineering, and compliance teams, manage schedules, and ensure clear decisions and documentation throughout the project lifecycle.

This role blends creative direction with project coordination, owning administrative backbone and producing timely, print-ready status reports for leadership.

Qualifications

• Experience in game production, project management, or program coordination.
• Strong organizational skills with a track record of managing multiple concurrent projects and competing priorities.
• Comfortable driving a room to a decision.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to translate discussions into clear documentation.
• Proficiency with project management and documentation tools (e.g., Jira, Confluence).
• A natural facilitator - proactive, detail-oriented, and able to keep momentum on projects.

Responsibilities

• Own the day-to-day administrative management of slot game projects: schedules, status tracking across multiple titles running in parallel.
• Facilitate decision-making across teams (game design, art, math, engineering, QA, compliance/legal) - driving discussions to clear, documented outcomes.
• Maintain single sources of truth for project status, scope, and open decisions, so stakeholders always know where a project stands.
• Run regular project check-ins, stand-ups, and milestone reviews; capture decisions, owners, and deadlines, and follow up to ensure they're actioned.
• Identify misalignment between teams early and drive resolution before it becomes a production bottleneck.
• Manage project timelines and dependencies, flagging risks to release dates and proposing mitigation plans.
• Coordinate the certification and regulatory submission process alongside compliance teams.
• Prepare and maintain production documentation: game design docs, change logs, meeting notes, logs, and status reports for leadership.
• Act as the point of contact between the studio and internal or external partners involved in a project.
• Support post-project reviews, gathering data and feedback to inform process improvements on future titles.

Position Summary

Game Producer - Slot Games

About the Role

We're looking for a Game Producer to join our game development team. This role sits at the center of our production process, keeping projects organized, decisions aligned, and cross-functional teams moving in the same direction. You'll be the connective tissue between design, art, math, engineering, compliance, and other stakeholders - making sure the right people are making the right calls at the right time, and that the administrative backbone of each project runs smoothly.

This job is a mixture of creative-direction and project coordination, decision alignment, and administrative ownership.

What You'll Do

• Own the day-to-day administrative management of slot game projects: schedules, status tracking across multiple titles running in parallel.
• Facilitate decision-making across teams (game design, art, math, engineering, QA, compliance/legal) - driving discussions to clear, documented outcomes rather than leaving decisions open-ended.
• Maintain single sources of truth for project status, scope, and open decisions, so stakeholders always know where a project stands and what's still being decided.
• Run regular project check-ins, stand-ups, and milestone reviews; capture decisions, owners, and deadlines, and follow up to ensure they're actioned.
• Identify misalignment between teams early (e.g., design vs. math, art vs. engineering constraints) and drive resolution before it becomes a production bottleneck.
• Manage project timelines and dependencies, flagging risks to release dates and proposing mitigation plans.
• Coordinate the certification and regulatory submission process alongside compliance teams, ensuring we reach the finish line with everything we need.
• Prepare and maintain production documentation: game design docs, change logs, meeting notes, decision logs, and status reports for leadership.
• Act as the point of contact between the studio and any internal or external partners involved in a project.
• Support post-project reviews, gathering data and feedback to inform process improvements on future titles.

What We're Looking For

• Experience in game production, project management, or program coordination - Land-based or iGaming experience strongly preferred.
• Strong organizational skills with a track record of managing multiple concurrent projects and competing priorities.
• Comfortable being the person who drives a room to a decision.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to translate technical or creative discussions into clear documentation.
• Proficiency with project management and documentation tools (e.g., Jira, Confluence, et cetera).
• A natural facilitator - proactive, detail-oriented, and able to keep momentum on projects without needing constant escalation.

Nice to Have

• Experience coordinating regulatory or certification submissions across multiple jurisdictions.
• Background in agile or hybrid production methodologies.
