About the job
As the Helldivers 2 Production Director you are responsible for the holistic delivery of cross-functional teams in the studio and for overseeing the Helldivers 2 production team within the studio. You will be overseeing, tracking and improving the delivery of valuable outcomes for players in ways that are beneficial for our business. You will lead, develop and manage a team of producers who will all be assigned to their own multidisciplinary dev teams. Your producers will be responsible for the player value of their team deliveries (as measured by frequent UX tests) whilst managing budgets, risks, schedules and other constraints. You will be empowered by your leaders and peers to execute and deliver on the game vision to make it a playable reality together with your team. You will be responsible for making difficult product decisions and moving the development forward in order to reach our common goals.

As a leader you seek and provide candid, helpful and timely feedback. You are a transparent communicator and a great team builder. You are a good listener, and seek data to validate and challenge your own and others' preconceptions in order for us to become better game makers. Together with your production team, you will maintain production processes that shed light and insight on the trajectory of work and progress before it becomes too late to pivot. You will be a strong sparring partner for other disciplines, but especially for the Game Director. You always champion a player-centric approach to game development and rally teams around a closing mentality for every delivery.
Furthermore, you will be responsible for;

• Closing milestones and sprints with deliveries that achieve high scores on stability, build health and UX experience whilst delivering on our contractual obligations to partners
• Setting and communicating commitments and plans, both internally and to our publishing partners

• Showing sound judgment when navigating complex production-related challenges and resolving conflicts between resource constraints and quality
• Establishing processes and evangelize best practices

• You are a skilled time manager who strives to continually improve your time management skills by retrospecting on how you spend your own and others' time
• Knowledge of SCRUM and agile methodologies
• Experience with project management tools
• You have at least five years experience within both the games industry and relevant roles
