Job description

Location: Cambridge, UK – This position offers flexible working options, including predominantly remote work. Applicants should be based (or willing to relocate) within a comfortable commuting distance of our office to attend onsite as required.

Are you a producer with mobile experience who’s ready to take ownership of client delivery on one of the world’s most loved live games? As a Producer on Old School RuneScape, you’ll lead delivery for the game and mobile client teams, driving a consistent cadence of updates for millions of active players. Working closely with our Product and Design teams, you’ll keep features moving, quality gates met, and the roadmap clear to every stakeholder who needs it.

This is a 15-month fixed term contract offering real ownership from day one within a highly collaborative and supportive team.

What you’ll be doing:

• Lead end-to-end delivery for a team focusing on mobile centric features and improvements, owning the feature pipeline, milestone planning, and release cadence.

• Maintain roadmap visibility through dashboards and status reports, giving stakeholders clear, honest sight of progress and trade-offs.
• Proactively identify and manage risks across the team’s roadmap, escalating and negotiating impacts with stakeholders where needed.
• Drive continuous improvement through retrospectives and clear, consistently maintained team documentation.

• Strong grasp of delivery methodologies (Agile, Lean, or similar) and the confidence to design and adapt the right approach for your team.
• Ability to build trusted relationships across cross-functioning teams, aligning stakeholders and driving delivery through influence rather than authority.
• Confidence to communicate across the business - translating complex delivery realities into communication that lands at every level.
• Live service game experience is a strong plus, as is familiarity with MMO or RPG game development.

When you join Jagex you can look forward to a generous Perks & Benefits package including:
