• Act as the primary point of contact for day-to-day development within your assigned areas, adapting production processes to best suit each team’s unique needs.
• Monitor team progress, providing clear and timely updates on status, potential risks, and key accomplishments.
• Proactively identify and resolve development challenges, crafting mitigation strategies that safeguard both team performance and product quality.
• Facilitate crystal-clear cross-discipline communication to swiftly tackle blockers, manage dependencies, and ensure clarity across shared responsibilities.
• Accurately track and communicate decisions, action items, and outcomes to maintain project alignment and transparency.
• Champion best practices across the production discipline and provide valuable mentoring to junior team members.
• Foster a healthy, collaborative, and communicative team culture that prioritizes well-being and high performance.
• Lead retrospectives and post-mortems, ensuring feedback is translated into actionable improvements.

• Proven experience having successfully shipped one or more games as a Producer or in a comparable leadership capacity.
• A strong, intuitive understanding of game development workflows, project priorities, and the full production lifecycle.
• Exceptional analytical, organisational, and communication skills.
