Job description

Job Description

As an Associate Producer, you’ll drive the content development of the game. All in all, you’ll guide one or many multidisciplinary teams to bring your assigned portion to life from start to end. You’ll pair well‑designed work processes with clear expectations for your team members to do their best work and optimize their talents.

Through careful planning, follow‑through, and oversight, you’ll keep development on pace, ensuring that time is spent on the right things, and pivot when needed.

While pushing production capacity and quality, you’ll see to it that your team is ready and able to deliver their chunk of the game on time and in a supportive environment.

What You’ll Do

• Partner with the core team to understand the overall game vision and requirements and communicate them across the production floor.
• Establish the scope of your area of focus: create its long‑term roadmap and schedule, establish its deliverables, quality targets, and key milestones, and define its development strategies and budgets.
• Put everything in place to pave the way for production: develop workflows and pipelines and implement means to facilitate interaction between colleagues.
• Set clear goals for your team members to achieve and make sure the process of delivering those goals is as smooth as possible.
• Anticipate risks and put plans of action in place to overcome them.
• Meet with your team to clarify milestones, prioritize deliverables, give updates, address concerns, provide direction, and gather feedback.
• Sync up with the producer, production director, and production managers on progress and momentum and follow up on budgets.
• Look for opportunities to improve and evolve our processes, methods, and practices.
• Take part in recruitment to build your team and foster their professional growth and career progression.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience in production or project management in the video game industry.
• Plenty of flexibility to adapt to a range of situations and navigate interdependencies.
• Familiarity with a variety of project management methodologies.
• Excellent communication, interpersonal, and presentation skills.
• An attentive, collaborative, and innovative spirit.
• A people‑oriented approach: sure, you care about results, but you never lose sight of the dedicated people behind them.

What To Send Our Way

• Your CV highlighting your background, skills, and any games shipped.
