Publishing Producer

As a Producer in our Publishing department, you will help our 3rd party studios to deliver the best game possible, ensuring development is leading towards our vision for the game and in the most efficient way possible while allowing for iteration during the development cycle. This is an excellent opportunity to play a key role in influencing our games and their setup for success, in close collaboration with great people.

You will be working on multiple projects in different stages of development. Some projects you will join early on and have to work together with the 3rd party studio and your publishing product team to create a production roadmap and budget. On the other end of the spectrum, there are also live projects that are in a post launch phase, and in need of guidance on how to continue development to broaden the market share and revenue. You will need to manage, sometimes long standing relationships and create an environment for the 3rd party game studios where they can further their vision for the game with success. You and your publishing product team will be responsible for the production roadmap, budget and its execution as well as marketing strategy from the publisher side.

As development progresses, you will guide the 3rd party studio through our publishing process - playing the game and reviewing deliverables at each milestone, evaluating whether the project is on-track and the gameplay experience is entertaining and adheres to the overall vision for the game. You will also be the person closest to the studio, establishing a strong relationship through regular visits and discussions. By building a mutual trust and shared understanding of the project, you help everyone stay informed and make the best decisions possible, striking a balance between quality, budget and delivering on time.

As your game nears launch, you can choose to attend marketing events alongside the developers, conducting interviews and presenting the game to press and partners.

Responsibilities (but not limited to):

• Being the main point of contact on the publishing side for the 3rd party studio
• Guiding the 3rd party studio through the publishing process
• Collaborating with the other Paradox departments
• Nurturing a healthy relationship with the 3rd party studio
• Creating and managing the production plans
• Managing and prioritizing the production budget
• Conducting milestone reviews and evaluating the gameplay experience
• Solving problems and managing risks
• Ensuring final software quality and delivery
• Making sure the publishing product team is up-to-date with the development progress and status

Requirements:

• At least 3 years of experience in relevant position within game/software development
• Strong interest and experience in playing video games, preferably in one of our genres: Strategy (e.g. Stellaris , Age of Wonders ) or Management ( Cities: Skylines , Prison Architect )
• Fluent in English, both written and spoken

On a personal level, you are driven by delivering high quality output, passionate about moving the projects forward by both proactively solving problems, and being able to think on the fly. You are a great communicator both verbally and in writing. You have an ability to explain complex problems in digestible form. You constantly seek out other people and departments for collaboration and alignment.

Some of our benefits include:

If you think that this description matches you, we highly encourage you to apply as soon as possible as we will interview candidates continuously. If you don't match all the requirements, please demonstrate how your passion, attitude, and interest in Paradox might compensate for this.
