We will rely on you to be proactive and experienced at establishing systems for planning, reporting, and controlling the progress of technical, design and creative work. You will report to the Executive Producer and be responsible for delivering next-level gameplay experience on various platforms, within given priorities of time, budget, and quality. The title you will join is a new, large, AAA game in its early production. That is why we will rely on your AAA production experience to bring on to this new role.

What you will do:

  • Work with our Executive Producer in defining the goals for the gameplay teams and break down the necessary milestones into realistic, achievable goals.

Who you are:

  • You have worked as a Gameplay Producer, on a mission team, gameplay team or both, for at least 2 AAA games.
  • You are organized, self-driven and proactive.
  • What you will be driving is not the building of an asset, but the building of an experience. That is why it is important that you understand the nuances of bringing an in-game experience together, at AAA standard.
  • You have a deep understanding of the production process and working with different teams, from technical to creative.
  • Very strong workflow development and documentation skills.
  • Strong budgeting, controlling, and reporting skills. Proficient in MS Office (MS Project, Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint).
