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. Issue Resolution: Use a best-in-class critical thinking mindset to identify, track, manage, and resolve project impediments quickly to ensure no "dangling threads" slow down progress. Team Communication: Mobilize your areas to organize and broadcast updates clearly to appropriate stakeholders at the right times. Ensure producers keep both their teams, and the pillar teams that their groups support, informed with the appropriate level of detail. People & Staff Management: Provide day-to-day management, mentorship, and leadership to direct reports. Develop actionable career growth plans, leverage stretch roles, and grow the next generation of production leadership. Partner with leadership on staffing allocation and hiring efforts. 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.
