About games production & leadership roles
Production staff keep game development organised. Producers plan schedules, manage scope and remove obstacles for their team; project and programme managers coordinate work across departments or multiple titles; development directors run a whole project day to day; and studio leadership, from studio heads to chief operating officers, set direction and manage the business of making games. Associate and assistant producer roles sit at the start of the ladder.
Studios ask for experience with agile methods such as Scrum or Kanban, task tracking in Jira, Confluence or similar, and the ability to communicate clearly with artists, engineers, designers and external partners. Senior roles add budgeting, publisher and platform-holder relationships, and hiring. Knowledge of how a game moves from pre-production to launch and live operations is expected at most levels.
Many producers come up through QA, design or another craft discipline, which gives them credibility with the teams they support. Others join from project management in software or other creative industries. Progression typically runs from associate producer to producer, senior producer and executive producer, or into development director and studio leadership roles.
Job titles in production vary a lot between studios. The job titles explained guide sets out what each one usually means.
