About Playstack
Playstack is on a mission to reinvent games publishing. Our London-based business was founded on the belief that even the greatest developers need support in order to create their best work. Playstack offers support in three key ways; investment and development funding, market leading publishing expertise, and UA capital to build player communities and enable games to rise up the charts. We’re proudly platform-agnostic. Our producers and product managers have world-class expertise across mobile, PC, VR/AR, and console. Our titles are featured by Apple and Google and have accrued over 20 million downloads. As well as delivering strong business for our partners, we’re proud to hear great feedback from the teams we work with, who value our transparency and approachability. If you’ve spent as long working in games as we have you’ll know that publishing partnerships only thrive when there’s trust and commitment from both sides. That’s what we seek. Once we find that creative spark or flash of genius in a developer’s idea we fully support them throughout the entire production process. And although this sounds cheesy, we know how staggeringly tough games development can be, so we will be there through thick and thin to make sure each game reaches its full potential. We support our developers with a whole range of services such as Investment, Soft-launch Intelligence, Porting, QA, Legal, Marketing, UA, and lots more. But we don’t like treading on toes - just tell us what you need and we will work to fill in the gaps. If you’re working on a game that you feel might fit with Playstack then get in touch. We will look at everything with an open mind and provide no-nonsense feedback. We’re also growing and always keen to add new people to the team.

Playstack is a leading publisher of PC & console indie games. We are looking for an experienced development producer and team leader to help with one of our 3rd party projects. This is an exciting opportunity to be involved in a high profile indie game which with your help will be releasing this year.

We need someone who has released games on PC and/or console, who has run teams, and knows the ropes. This is not an entry level position.

Who You Are:

  • You must have experience managing and releasing games on PC/Console; direct involvement in team leadership, game delivery, project management, QA and deployment.
  • You are a strong communicator, team leader and have a track record of driving quality and on time delivery
  • You are comfortable working with a fully remote, indie team of talent and creative individuals
  • You are both a high-level and low-level thinker, who can craft goals and manage details
  • You're proactive and pragmatic, at the same time you look for creative ways to solve problems
  • You are a passionate gamer

How You'll Contribute:

  • Working with the game’s director and leads to help prioritize and manage the development team's work
  • Facilitating the cross-functional teams required for the planning & delivery of a cross platform indie game
  • Owning the details, ensuring that everything is accurately tracked, and that everyone knows their priorities and dependencies are considered.
  • Managing the QA, devOps and daily build reviews
  • Ensuring that features and releases are regularly reviewed and actions tracked
  • Communicate project status upwards and outwards, highlighting risks and actions

What you’ll need:

  • Experience of leading/facilitating/managing a game development team
  • Excellent organizational and project tracking skills, and a willingness to sweat the details
  • Composure to handle the competing pressures and challenges of day to day game development
  • Initiative to work with the diverse range of people needed to develop and support a game
  • Experience managing remote development teams

This is a contract position, and is likely full-time, but there is flexibility depending on availability.
