Our culture is built on the belief that the more varied voices in our collective will strengthen our team and our games. We are looking for our next teammate who will raise our bar and make us better.

What We Need:

We are seeking a Lead Producer to serve as a key leader for our production team to support our content groups (concept, modelling, FX, etc) and help define external development strategies. With an increased scope and breadth relative to other production partners, you will focus on project strategy, take accountability for managing multiple areas and crafts, and play a vital role in hiring and developing top production talent. You will need to able to quickly adjust to the game's growing needs and at times roll up your sleeves and execute at a more granular level. The ideal candidate is an expert planner and problem solver who can seamlessly move between long-term strategy and short-term execution. Working closely with the production, studio, and discipline leadership teams, you will ensure our teams are set up for success, help set clear objectives aligned with business goals, aggressively mitigate risk, and serve as a driving force for team health, culture, and process improvement.

What You'll Do:

Production Management & Delivery:

Act as the production lead for multiple areas and crafts, taking accountability for the quality, upkeep, and timeliness of milestone deliveries from concept to completion.

Schedule & Goal Creation:

Ensure the development and upkeep of schedules, roadmaps, and department updates across your purview. Set clear objectives and assist producers in creating plans that align with project and business goals while driving continued planning improvements.

Risk & Scope Mitigation:

Actively identify complex development, project, or personnel issues; make tough, timely, and sometimes controversial decisions; and proactively lead discussions around managing feature or scope creep.

Feature Ownership & Production Oversight:

While not common, there may need to be some features directly developed within the groups you support. Need to ensure producers own their day-to-day responsibilities, uphold the \"Production Standard,\" eliminate bottlenecks, and track feature statuses daily.

Process Optimization & Production Leadership:

Serve as a core member of the Production Leadership Group to improve production operations, drive consistent processes, and establish pipeline improvements.

Strategic Alignment:

Partner with studio leadership on production strategy and long-term organizational vision. Ensure teams deeply understand the project's strategic vision to prevent unnecessary confusion, thrashing, or wasted effort.

Who You Are:

An Expert Planner & Doer:

An opportunistic self-starter who \"flies at a higher altitude,\" expertly discerning must-haves from nice-to-haves and shifting focus seamlessly between micro, macro, and global project levels.

A Model Collaborator & Diplomat:

A pillar of integrity, trusted ally, and an advisor to leads and directors who listens to all sides free from personal attachment, excels at navigating different personalities, and compromises when faced with competing priorities.

An Expert Communicator:

Highly articulate, thorough, professional, and direct in both written and verbal communication. Able to adapt your style across diverse groups, deliver feedback of all types, and articulate the need for change to make it reality.

A Highly Skilled Listener:

Self-aware, emotionally mature, and able to quickly get to the heart of a situation and the concerns of those involved while encouraging team-wide open communication in a controlled, safe setting. A Refined Eye for

Quality:

Possesses an expert eye for visual and functional quality, bringing a high-level perspective of big-picture goals to decision-making and issue resolution.

A Supportive Leader & Mentor:
