Job description

UK or West Midlands-based / Full-Time Permanent

We welcome applicants who prefer to work from home. However, occasional travel across the UK and to our office in Bromsgrove will be expected. We cannot offer visa sponsorship for this opportunity at this time.

Role:

Every game that ships well has someone behind the scenes keeping a hundred moving parts pulling in the same direction. We’re looking for a Lead Producer to be that person for Flix Interactive: leading our team of producers and overseeing multiple AA and AAA co-development and internal projects from concept through to release and beyond. You’ll work hand in hand with design, art, engineering, and QA to make sure every project lands on time, on budget, and at the quality players expect.

We’re also looking for someone with an eye on what comes next. You’ll help us work out what the future of game production looks like, testing new tools and ways of working, including AI, and bringing the ones that earn their place into how we deliver. If you’re a leader with deep production experience, sharp judgement under pressure, and a love of games, we want to hear from you.

Responsibilities:

• Lead, mentor, and inspire a team of producers, setting clear goals, objectives, and performance expectations and building a culture of collaboration and excellence.
• Oversee multiple game development projects at once, making sure each one meets its milestones and deadlines.
• Own project budgets and resourcing, allocating people and funds efficiently to maximise productivity and optimise costs.
• Work with stakeholders to prioritise features and resources against each project’s goals.
• Keep improving production processes and workflows, spot risks and challenges early, and put mitigation in place before they bite.
• Partner with heads of design, art, engineering, and QA so every team stays aligned with the project vision and delivers cohesive gaming experiences.
• Protect quality from pre-production to post-launch support, working with QA to test rigorously and resolve issues before release.
• Be a trusted voice for senior management and executive leadership: report on progress and KPIs, flag risks and opportunities, and keep stakeholder expectations realistic.
• Look ahead to where game production is going: track industry trends, market demands, and emerging technologies, explore new tools and ways of working, and bring the ones that earn their place into how we deliver. Research market gaps and opportunities for new projects too.
• Extensive experience in game production and project management, including time in a lead or manager producer role, with a proven track record of delivering successful games.
• Strong leadership skills, with the ability to inspire and guide teams to achieve project goals.
• Excellent project management skills, including budgeting, resource allocation, and risk management.
• Deep understanding of the game development process and methodologies such as Agile and Scrum.
• Strong communication and negotiation skills, and the ability to work collaboratively with diverse teams and stakeholders.
• Adaptability and resilience: you juggle multiple projects and changing priorities without dropping the ball.
• Experience with project management tools and software commonly used in game development.
• A practical, open approach to evaluating, testing, and implementing AI-driven improvements to production processes.
• A genuine love of games and a keen understanding of player preferences and gaming trends. You play widely, and with a critical eye.
• Experience working in a co-development or external development environment, partnering with studios and publishers.
• Experience supporting pitches and bids, including planning, estimates, and stakeholder presentations.
