Senior game producer

We are hiring a highly experienced Producer + Designer who can raise our bar by improving production/design systems, coaching the team, and leading high-impact systems design that moves KPIs.

This role is product-focused: improving retention, monetization, and player experience by turning ambiguity into build-ready specs, clean execution plans, and measurable improvements.

This role is ideal for someone who:

• Brings structure to production without slowing teams down
• Is hands-on with systems design (not only management)
• Mentors teams and upgrades how they think and document
• Uses data to prioritize and validate decisions

Core Responsibilities

1. Production Leadership (Systems + Delivery)
   • Audit current production/design workflow and identify bottlenecks + root causes.
   • Improve and enforce a clean operating cadence:
   • sprint planning, scope control, dependency management, release discipline
   • clear definitions of “ready” and “done”
   • Lead cross-discipline alignment (design, dev, art, QA, data/UA).
   • Turn ambiguity into clear decisions and build-ready specs.
   • Coach producers/designers to run higher-quality execution independently.
2. Lead Systems Design (Hands-on)
   • Lead design of major systems and features:
   • core loop improvements, progression, economy, monetization, LiveOps
   • Write high-quality design specs that are:
   • clear, buildable, measurable, testable
   • include edge cases, tuning plans, and KPI targets
   • Improve player experience end-to-end:
   • FTUE, early retention, session flow, mid/late-game goals
   • Drive iteration through structured playtests and fast feedback loops.
3. Team Coaching + Design Culture
   • Train and mentor internal producers/designers:
   • weekly reviews, workshops, templates, critique culture
   • Raise quality of documentation and decision-making (systems-first, player-first, data-informed).
   • Establish and maintain a clear “design quality bar” across the studio.
4. Data-Informed Design (Partnering with Data/UA)
   • Define experiment plans (A/B tests) for key hypotheses.
   • Use dashboards/telemetry to identify issues and opportunities.
   • Convert insights into backlog priorities and measurable design actions.
5. Stakeholder Communication & Clarity
   • Keep leadership updated with clear status, risks, and next steps.
   • Write concise summaries and decision notes that reduce confusion and rework.
   • Ensure teams have clarity on “what success looks like” for each initiative.

Key Deliverables (Expected Outputs)

• A clean production cadence that the team can follow consistently (planning → execution → review → release).
• Standardized documentation/templates (feature spec, economy/progression sheet, tuning plan, experiment plan).
• Build-ready specs for major systems/features with measurable success criteria.
• Regular product/design reviews with clear decisions, action items, and ownership.
• A simple, recurring “product health + priorities” summary for leadership (e.g., weekly/bi-weekly).

Decision Rights & Interfaces

• Production rituals for design/production (cadence, templates, review standards).
• Quality bar for design documentation and build-ready specs.
• Playtest cadence and iteration process for design improvements.

You co-own (with Studio Lead + Game Leads):

• Prioritization of major product initiatives and roadmap trade-offs.
• Scope decisions for high-impact features and releases.

You influence/support:

• UA and monetization improvements via product changes, experiments, and insight-driven recommendations.

Requirements (Must Have)

• 5–10+ years in mobile F2P production and/or game design (hybrid sim/tycoon is a big plus).
• Shipped multiple live products or major updates (not just prototypes).
• Strong systems design fundamentals:
• progression, economy, rewards, monetization, LiveOps
• Strong production fundamentals:
• scope control, planning, cross-team coordination, risk management
• Excellent written communication:
• you can create specs engineers/artists can build without guessing
• Comfortable leading remotely and influencing without authority.
• Very strong English (written + spoken).

Nice-to-Haves

• Hybrid simulation / management game expertise.
• Experience working with teams across multiple time zones.
• Familiarity with Unity pipelines and constraints (no coding required).
• Experience building production/design systems from scratch (cadences, templates, rituals).

Tools We Use

• Coda (documentation hub)
• Miro (flows, maps, UX collaboration)
• Asana (tasks + planning)
• Slack (daily communication)

Working Model

Remote

High ownership role — we care about outcomes, not meetings.

Must be available for key overlap hours with GMT+5 for reviews and alignment.
