About the Role

  • Serve as the primary point of contact for licensor communications, managing regular reviews, all approvals, milestone submissions, feedback loops, and relationship health to ensure brand integrity and alignment at every stage of development.
  • Ensure all game content aligns with brand guidelines, tone, and the overall creative vision of the licensed IP, with a strong sensitivity to maintaining franchise authenticity.
  • Identify and proactively address production risks, removing blockers and keeping the team focused on key priorities.
  • Facilitate strong communication between internal teams and external partners, ensuring expectations, deliverables, and timelines are clearly understood and met.
  • Analyze and optimize production pipelines, increasing efficiency across departments and supporting scalable workflows.
  • Track progress toward milestones, report regularly to leadership and stakeholders, and drive accountability across the team.
  • Support task planning, sprint rituals, and resource allocation using agile or hybrid methodologies suited to the project.
  • Partner with discipline leads to prioritize features and content, aligning scope with available resources and deadlines.
  • Foster a collaborative, respectful production environment that promotes high-quality output and sustainable team health.

Requirements

  • 7+ years of experience in game production, with at least 2 shipped titles in a Producer or Senior Producer role, preferably on console/PC platforms.
  • Proven experience working on licensed IP titles, including day-to-day licensor relationship management, milestone coordination, and brand/IP compliance.
  • Deep familiarity with production processes and workflows across game disciplines (design, engineering, art, audio, QA, narrative, etc.).
  • Strong understanding of brand/IP sensitivity, particularly when working with high-profile entertainment franchises.
  • Experience delivering at least one third-person action or similarly complex gameplay-focused title. Strong understanding of third-person action game development pipelines, including design iteration, content creation, and engine integration.
  • Excellent communication, negotiation, and diplomacy skills - able to navigate feedback loops with both creative teams and external licensors.
  • Highly skilled with project management tools (e.g., Jira, Confluence, ShotGrid, Trello, Excel).
  • Experience working with distributed teams and/or external development partners.
  • Calm under pressure, solution-oriented, and highly adaptable in fast-changing production environments.
