Glitch Productions
• Own the full games studio operation end-to-end: structure, process, tooling, hiring, and delivery. • Build production infrastructure from scratch, including pipelines, project management systems, tools, milestone tracking, and communication workflows. • Lead and grow the team, hiring across engineering, design, art, QA, and production disciplines in alignment with project needs. • Oversee day-to-day development on several active titles in planning, ensuring quality, timeline, and budget targets are met. • Establish version control, asset pipelines, documentation and QA processes appropriate to the team's scale and engine choices. • Work directly with the CEO to align production priorities, staffing plans, budgets, and delivery goals across the games portfolio. • Establish a studio culture that reflects Glitch's values: skilled, kind, ambitious people doing work they're proud of. • Manage relationships with external partners, publishers, platforms, and contractors as needed. • Build and manage relationships with external platforms (Steam, consoles, mobile), publishers, contractors, and vendors. • Report regularly on project health, resourcing gaps, risks, and milestones.
Job Requirements
- Proven track record shipping games in a senior leadership capacity, with responsibility for team building, production, staffing, budgeting, and delivery.
- Hands-on experience building studio infrastructure from early stages, not just inheriting mature pipelines.
- Strong understanding of both game development craft and the management side of running a studio.
- Strong command of engine and tooling decisions and the downstream hiring and pipeline implications they create.
- Experience making early org design calls: which roles to hire first, how to structure shared vs. siloed resources, and how to scale without over-hiring.
- Demonstrated ability to hire and retain great people and build high-performing teams.
- Comfortable operating with ambiguity and making sound decisions without established playbooks.
- Excellent communicator who can work cross-functionally with creative, commercial, and executive stakeholders.
- Deep passion for games and what GLITCH stands for.
- Nice to have Experience in studios adjacent to animation, film, or transmedia IP.
- Background shipping titles that originated from existing entertainment properties or fanbases.
- Familiarity with indie/mid-size team structures and resource-constrained production.
Benefits
- Full ownership and opportunity to build and lead the production for games at a studio with a globally recognised IP and a passionate fanbase.
- Direct line to the CEO and meaningful input into business strategy.
- Competitive salary and package commensurate with experience.
- Remote-friendly with flexibility on location.
