The role

As Executive Producer you own the project. You lead it together with the Creative Director, Game Director, Technical Director and Production Director, and you make the calls on how to balance vision, scope, time, quality and budget. You will also represent the project externally at events and shows, and towards internal and external stakeholders, including our owners.

• Monitor key project KPIs and proactively identify risks and issues, proposing actionable solutions.

• Work closely with external development partners to ensure smooth execution and high-quality delivery.

• Ensure stakeholders have clear visibility into progress, risks, dependencies, and upcoming decisions.

• Hire and grow the leaders the project needs, and build a culture of clear ownership and a sustainable pace.

• Be the voice of the project to the Studio Head, Sharkmob leadership and Tencent, and secure the decisions and support the game needs.

Requirements

• 10+ years in game production, including 5+ years as Executive Producer.

• Shipped multiple high-quality AAA titles.

• Experience owning a project budget and roadmap, and leading large teams together with external partners.

• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills across all levels.

• Fluent English, written and spoken.

Bonus points

• Experience launching and running live-service games.

• Mandarin, written and spoken.
