• Serve as a central communication hub between creative and technical teams, facilitate sprint rituals, and provide clear roadmap and delivery updates to leadership.
• Use production metrics such as velocity, burndown, and capacity planning to optimize workflows, balance workloads, and support informed decision-making.

Requirements:

• 7+ years of professional game production experience, including at least one shipped title in a Senior, Lead, or Technical Producer capacity covering the full development lifecycle.
• Proven experience managing dependencies, handoffs, and workflows across engineering, design, art, audio, and narrative disciplines.
• Expert knowledge of Jira and Confluence, with hands-on experience adapting Agile, Scrum, or Kanban methodologies to studio-specific production environments.
• Strong judgment in making pragmatic scope and prioritization decisions that protect the core player experience while meeting critical deadlines.
• Experience supporting post-launch development, content drops, live operations, or ongoing game support cycles.
• Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to bridge creative vision and technical execution across diverse teams and stakeholders.
• Experience shipping games on PC and major console platforms such as PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo is a plus, particularly with first-party submission and certification processes.
• Experience coordinating co-development studios, external vendors, or outsourcing partners is a plus.
