Just Digital People are proud to be partnering with one of the most innovative and forward-thinking game studios in the industry, a powerhouse creating world-class interactive experiences across mobile, PC, VR and AR. With a legacy of 60+ released titles and collaborations with some of the biggest names in entertainment, they’re redefining what’s possible in gaming and now they’re looking for a visionary Production Director to help guide them into their next era.

This is more than a leadership role, it’s your chance to set the direction of entire projects, build and scale high-performing teams, and leave a real mark on how games are made and experienced.

What You’ll Be Doing

Lead & Inspire: Guide the entire production department, mentoring teams across multiple business units and fostering a culture of excellence, collaboration and wellbeing.

Set the Strategy: Work closely with the executive team to develop and execute long-term production strategies that align with the studio’s ambitious goals.

Deliver World-Class Projects: Own frameworks for scope, capacity and risk management, ensuring projects are delivered on time, on budget and at the highest quality.

Own Visibility: Build reporting systems that give stakeholders clear insight into project health, risks and progress — and be the key escalation point when challenges arise.

Collaborate Across Disciplines: Partner directly with General Managers and department leads on strategic planning, resource allocation and delivery across an expanding portfolio.

Evolve the Process: Champion continuous improvement, adopting new methodologies and staying ahead of industry trends to refine production practices and workflows.
What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience as a Production Director (or similar senior production leadership role) within the game development industry
  • A strong track record delivering high-quality projects at scale — ideally across multiple platforms
  • Experience leading large-scale organisational or process changes and managing external partners
  • Exceptional leadership, communication and stakeholder management skills
  • A strategic thinker with strong problem-solving skills and a knack for building high-performing teams
  • Experience with Agile methodologies
  • And of course, a genuine passion for game development and the future of interactive entertainment

Bonus points if you bring:

  • An understanding of other disciplines like game design
  • Experience collaborating with publishers and external partners on established IPs

What’s In It For You

  • Extra Playdays: five additional paid days off a year to spend on what matters most to you
  • Growth & Mentorship: access to mentoring and leadership development opportunities to help you keep levelling up
  • Industry-leading parental leave and mental health support programs
  • Relocation support and discounted access to a top-tier gym — right next door
  • An epic studio culture: from games nights and cinema takeovers to food trucks and karaoke, you’ll be part of a passionate, social and creative team that loves what they do

If you’re ready to lead the production function of a studio shaping the future of gaming — from concept to launch — we’d love to hear from you.
