2K is looking for an experienced and strategic Senior Producer to join its Core Games Publishing team. In this role, you will collaborate closely with Gearbox studio and internal teams to support the delivery of development milestones, foster alignment between functions, and ensure efficient operational execution across several major AAA projects.

Reporting to a Lead Producer or Executive Producer, you will play a central role in the day-to-day management of a new intellectual property (IP), while contributing to other franchises currently in development. You will be responsible for driving the execution of production plans, anticipating and managing risks, and maintaining clear and fluid communication among all stakeholders.

This position is for someone who thrives in a creative, demanding, and constantly evolving environment, capable of demonstrating leadership, clarity, and rigor in coordinating multi-disciplinary production projects.

What You Will Do

  • Understand the game and the players. Know how each feature meets player expectations and integrates into the overall game strategy. Use your knowledge of development and game genres to guide decisions.
  • Organize and decide with good judgment. Help plan and deliver project milestones by circulating the right information. Prioritize actions with a player-centric vision and propose concrete solutions when a problem arises.
  • Manage daily production. Track the progress of multiple games, flag risks, and coordinate across functions to ensure milestone success. Actively contribute to improving tools and processes that benefit the broader team and publishing function.
  • Work as a team. Build strong working relationships with studio and publishing peers. Act as a steady, trustworthy point of contact who listens, follows through, and drives alignment across groups with differing priorities. Partner closely with a Lead or EP to provide consistent coverage and continuity across projects.
  • Communication. Craft clear, concise updates for stakeholders at all levels. Support the creation of decks, reports, and milestone documentation that drives decisions and support transparency. Work closely with peers across both the development and publishing teams to account for all voices on the projects.
  • Player-Focus. Actively champion the player experience in all stages of development. Work closely with Research, Community, and Product Management teams to synthesize findings, elevate key insights, and ensure those insights directly inform feature prioritization, tuning, and live content decisions. Maintain awareness of player sentiment and identify opportunities to close gaps between design intent and actual player experience.
  • Quality-Focus. Maintain a high bar for quality across all deliverables, from milestone builds to final polish. Proactively track quality risks, advocate for resolution of known issues, and collaborate with QA, studio, and publishing partners to improve test coverage, prioritize bugs, and reinforce a culture of excellence across all disciplines. Help ensure the game delivers a consistently engaging and stable player experience across platforms and release windows.

What Will Make You a Great Fit

  • 5+ years of experience in game production, publishing production, product management, or related roles, with exposure to full game lifecycles including post-launch operations.
  • Comfort with distributed development, including studios in different time zones or regions.
  • Hands-on experience with live service games or ongoing content production.
  • Experience working cross-functionally with development teams and internal publishing groups (i.e. Marketing, Commercial, QA, Research).
  • Proven ability to manage schedules, deliverables, and communications across multiple teams and stakeholders.
  • Comfort with ambiguity and strong instincts for risk spotting and issue triage.
  • A proactive mindset: you spot gaps, ask questions, and push to improve how things get done.
  • Excellent communication skills, including the ability to write clearly, lead meetings, and create documentation that drives alignment and action.
  • Skilled at building trust and alignment across a wide range of partners – developers, executives, and publishing functions alike – through thoughtful communication and a player-first mindset.
  • Deep passion for games and a keen ability to articulate what makes a quality AAA game in a given genre.
  • Embodies 2K’s values and serves as a role model for excellence, integrity, and creative leadership.
  • Unafraid to roll up sleeves and help out wherever needed.

Bonus Points

  • Bilingual proficiency, especially in English and Quebec French.
  • Experience helping to establish new IP, reinvigorate dormant IP, and/or grow franchises with an active playerbase are all welcomed pluses.
  • Local to Montreal.
  • A self-motivated, lifelong learner who recognizes the games industry is always evolving; the only constant is change.
