This is an excellent opportunity for a Senior Producer to join our talented production team at our studio in Horsham, based in heart of Sussex, England.

In this exciting role, you will work alongside and assist the Live Operations Director and Development Director to oversee and support the development of the game up to release and into the live operations phase.

Key Responsibilities

Managing the development team schedule; meeting milestones
