Demiurge Studios is seeking an experienced lead producer for our newest project - an open world action RPG, targeting PC and console platforms. The team has just finished pre-production, so this is a great time to join and make a big splash! You will be an integral part of the team’s leadership, working closely with the Executive Producer. Production leads are accountable for development execution, including development strategy, project planning, and risk management.

In this role, you will proactively work to identify and remove any obstacles to success. Your mission is to enable the dev team to do their best work. You have many tools in your toolbox, and know how to customize them, adapting to new and complex challenges. You are as comfortable leading from the front as you are acting as a support behind the scenes. You navigate easily between strategic and operational work, and use that skill to keep the team aligned and motivated.

As most of the project’s leadership is local to the Boston area, we have a strong preference for candidates who are also in the area, and occasionally able to work from the office. At a minimum, any candidate must be able to work on Eastern Time.

If you are driven by collaboration, creativity, and leading teams to do their best work, this might be the role for you!
