📋 Description

• We are looking for a skilled First Party Producer to join us. • As a First-Party Producer, you will be responsible for overseeing the development and delivery of high-quality experiences on first-party platforms (e.g., PlayStation, Xbox, etc.). • You will act as the primary liaison between the development team and first-party platform holders, ensuring that projects meet all necessary requirements while aligning with the vision and goals of the stakeholders.

🎯 Requirements

• Lead and manage the day-to-day production of first-party projects, ensuring timely and successful delivery. • Define, track, and manage project scope, timelines, and milestones, adapting to changes and risks as they arise. • Oversee and manage project schedules, ensuring all deadlines and milestones are met while maintaining quality. • Create, iterate, and track schedules and processes for game features and assets. • Act as the main point of contact between internal development teams and external first-party platform holders. • Collaborate with stakeholders across the project to ensure alignment across all departments. • Organize and facilitate rituals with stakeholders to provide updates, gather feedback, and address concerns. • Proactively identify risks and issues that may impact project timelines, quality, or budget, and implement solutions to mitigate those risks. • Minimum of 5 years of experience in game production, software development, or relevant industry experience with a strong understanding of the first-party platform ecosystem (PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, etc.). • Proven track record of managing and leading projects, including scheduling, resource allocation, and milestone tracking, with the ability to prioritize effectively and meet deadlines. • Ability to lead, motivate, and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, both internal and external, including game developers, designers, and engineers. • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to effectively interact with stakeholders, including first-party platform representatives, publishers, and development teams. • Familiarity with the technical specifications, certification processes, and submission requirements of first-party consoles (e.g., PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo). • A solid understanding of the game development process from concept to post-launch, including design, testing, QA, and distribution. • Experience with project management tools (e.g., Jira, Asana, Trello), version control systems (e.g., Git), and software development methodologies (e.g., Agile, Scrum).

🏖️ Benefits

• Escape Velocity is a team of passionate, talented developers working at a studio that offers excellent benefits and what we believe is a fantastic project. • We value the time, energy, and talent of our players and our colleagues. • We want every hour spent developing and playing our games to be an incredibly rewarding and worthwhile use of your time. • To that end, we are fully remote and support team members nearly anywhere in the world. • We prioritize honesty, even when that means sharing bad news. • We strive to give everyone autonomy so they can determine how best to work and play. • We care more about what you bring to the game and studio than how many hours you’re clocking. • We believe in constant improvement across all areas – from the game itself to our production design. • We’re all always working on the most important things. • Finally, we’re dedicated to building a culture of play, which not only makes us better game makers, but also strengthens the bonds between us all.
