Video Games Producer

Description of the offer

tinyBuild is a video game label started in 2011 with the idea of creating long-term, recognizable franchises by partnering up with talented developers from all over the world. We’ve released dozens of games, including Hello Neighbor, Graveyard Keeper, SpeedRunners, Potion Craft, and more. Headquartered in the Seattle, Washington area, the company now has studios across the US, Netherlands, Serbia, and Ukraine.

We’ve now got an exciting opportunity for a Game Producer who will help oversee the success of innovative, inspiring titles developed by our partners worldwide. Our ideal candidate has a deep understanding of video games as an entertainment medium and a digital product and for whom gaming is a passion and a calling in life.

We strongly believe in autonomy and ownership and are looking for people who are creative and refuse to settle for the conventional. Producers at tinyBuild are charged with the overall success of their games and are responsible for product management, development, creativity, marketing, and other aspects of publishing. Think of it as a Product Manager combined with a Marketing Manager combined with a development-side Producer!

You will have the option of working remotely worldwide on a US or UK schedule.
