• Translate established creative direction into executable production plans, helping transform a wide range of creative inputs into a unified foundation for execution.
• Facilitate cross-discipline alignment throughout development, surfacing misalignment or risk early and routing decisions appropriately.
• Partner with Production and Discipline Leadership to plan creative capacity, manage resource allocation, and integrate external vendor work seamlessly into internal pipelines.
• Ensure creative deep dives, immersion rituals, and required creative materials are actively used and integrated into the broader development cycle.

• 8+ years of professional experience as a game producer.
• 4+ years in a leadership position, working directly on the production of a complex live game project.
