At League of Geeks, we care as much about the craft of making videogames as the videogames we craft. We are looking for a producer to empower our talented team to work autonomously, yet with purpose, clarity and efficiency towards extraordinary outcomes.
In this critical production role, you will be the Executive Producer of LoG’s brand new PC/console IP. You will shepherd communication, collaboration and exceptional decision making across all departments, delivering upon the game’s ambitious commercial, critical, and cultural objectives.
Heavy on ‘shallow’ and ‘deep’ work, the role of producer requires exceptional organisational and communication skills, requiring you to switch between emotional and mechanical mindsets rapidly and effectively, exemplifying LoG’s values under considerable pressure.
As two-time Australian Studio of the Year, we are committed to building one of the best working environments in the world, with a genuine focus on well being, skill development, and the correct ratio of pot plants to humans. So if you’re keen to work with one of the world’s leading independent studios on two brand new, exciting PC/console projects, we'd love to hear from you!
Women and other underrepresented developers, please apply! We pride ourselves on our inclusive work environment and output, so we’d love to work with you.
