Job Description

As an associate producer at Ubi Sherbrooke, you’ll drive the development of a specific part of a game. Depending on the project’s larger production strategy and organizational structure, your part could be a component like animation, level design, gameplay, world, or a combination of a few.

All in all, you’ll guide one or many multidisciplinary teams to bring your assigned portion to life from start to end. You’ll pair well-designed work processes with clear expectations for your team members to do their best work and optimize their talents.

Through careful planning, follow-through, and oversight, you’ll keep development on pace, ensuring that time is spent on the right things, and pivot when need be.

What you’ll do

• Partner with the core team to understand the overall game vision and requirements + communicate them across the production floor.
• Establish the scope of your area of focus: create its long-term roadmap and schedule, establish its deliverables, quality targets, and key milestones, and define its development strategies and budgets.
• Put everything in place to pave the way for production: develop workflows and pipelines + implement means to facilitate interaction between colleagues.
• Set clear goals for your team members to achieve + make sure the process of delivering those goals is as smooth as possible.
• Anticipate risks & put plans of action in place to overcome them.
• Meet with your team to clarify milestones, prioritize deliverables, give updates, address concerns, provide direction, gather feedback, etc.
• Sync up with other production team members on progress and momentum + follow up on budgets.
• Look for opportunities to improve and evolve our processes, methods, and practices.
• Take part in recruitment to build your team + foster their professional growth and career progression.

• Plenty of flexibility to adapt to a range of situations & navigate interdependencies
• A degree in Project Management or Business Administration (or related training)
• Familiarity with a variety of project management methodologies
• Excellent communication, interpersonal, and presentation skills
