We are looking for a Puzzles and Games Producer who can help us organize and coordinate Jane Street’s puzzles, math-related events, and interactive experiences (think escape rooms, puzzle hunts, and other math-inspired activities).

This role has two parts: development, and ongoing project management and documentation. Development includes working with a range of internal and external collaborators and creators to curate and refine content. You will be expected to solicit ideas and workshop feedback with various subject matter experts and use your good taste and judgment to dial in the right topic, content, and difficulty level for various audiences and applications

Responsibilities in this part of the role will include:

  • Curating puzzle submissions from creators and selecting puzzles for development
  • Shepherding submissions through the feedback, testing, and review process, and assisting with editing and refinement
  • Understanding the needs and preferences of different audiences and proactively incorporating anticipated solver reactions into editing
  • Training game hosts and being available for community engagement with games

The second part of the role includes project management and ongoing documentation. You will be responsible for guiding projects through their entire lifecycle, including: 

  • Coordinating across a wide range of our internal teams and beyond, including freelance content creators and vendors, internal subject matter experts, staffing groups, and other relevant teams
  • Gathering requirements, goals, and constraints through close collaboration with stakeholders
  • Identifying risks and ensuring thorough feedback, review, and refinement of work
  • Managing timelines and balancing priorities of multiple projects
  • Staffing events, including trainings
  • Cataloging items and managing inventory 

We operate in a flexible problem-solving environment that encourages people to think outside the box. The person in this role needs to be a strategic thinker who considers the goals of the group and project when problem-solving.

About You

  • Have 3-5 years of experience with project or program management
  • Have puzzle or escape room experience
  • Proficiency in 3D printing and other rapid prototyping methods
  • Able to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced and challenging environment
  • Organized with excellent attention to detail; understands the importance of putting people first and fostering collaborative teamwork
  • Have demonstrated documentation skills
