Job Details
Bonfire Studios is seeking a dedicated Senior Producer to contribute to our first title Arkheron, a multiplayer competitive game. In this collaborative role, you'll work across teams to support our Audio, Narrative, and Localization needs. You'll help define clear processes, align creative and technical goals, maintain schedules and priorities, and facilitate smooth collaboration so teams can deliver their best work.
Bonfire Studios is a close-knit studio built on fostering strong connections. Each developer's voice shapes the company, the game, and our daily tasks. As a Producer at Bonfire, you'll have unique opportunities for growth, help progress an exciting IP, and create an unforgettable experience for our players.
In this role, you will:
- Engage in Strategic Planning: Keep sight of long-term goals while working with teams to break them into actionable objectives.
- Facilitate Dependency Mapping: Chart and share deliverables and dependencies within the roadmap to ensure successful releases, paying attention to downstream impacts.
- Support Risk and Opportunity Planning: Assist project leads and directors by sharing priorities and dependencies, contributing to scenario and risk mitigation planning, and engaging in creative problem-solving.
- Ensure Predictable Visibility: Provide consistent, accurate, and accessible communication on project and team status to leads, the production team, and the studio.
- Foster Effective Cross-team Communication: Cultivate productive communication flows with internal and external teams to continuously improve collaboration.
- Collaborate on Resource Planning and Tracking: Work with Leads to determine time and resources needed to complete projects and tasks, mapping these to releases, with: 1. clear identification of factors that add complexity and therefore time or additional resources, 2. prioritization aligned with larger Project goals, 3. understanding of team capacity and velocity for realistic projections of effort over time, and 4. time allocated for discovery and experimentation to prevent future issues.
- Contribute to Scoping and Decision Making: Partner with leads and directors to establish a shared understanding of project scope, ensuring priorities are clear and decisions are made and communicated in a timely manner.
- Help Optimize Team Process, Structures, and Tools: Collaborate with Leads to create, maintain, and improve structures, processes, practices, and tools that allow teams (internal and external) to produce high-quality work efficiently and on time.
We’re excited about you because you…
- Have experience working with external teams in a co-development environment, helping balance workloads, planning for future needs, and building resource plans.
- Have been involved in planning and supporting Voice Over recording sessions.
- Have a diverse range of production skills and methods, and know how to adapt your approach to different environments or teams.
- Are passionate about production and helping us refine our processes for live service.
- Are motivated, curious, and enjoy finding new ways to solve problems.
- Enjoy collaborating and aligning multi-disciplinary teams in an iterative development environment.
- Value building trust with colleagues.
- Value working with a diverse team and welcome different perspectives.
- Have a growth mindset and care about helping others develop.
- Believe that great games are the product of great teams that prioritize their people.
The base salary for this position as a Senior is $196,500 annually. If your experience is more (principal level) or less (mid-level), your salary will be more/less than that rate (based on market data). We consider candidates' potential impact holistically, not just their years of experience or skill level.
