We’re looking for a Production Manager, a
- driven operator who thrives on clarity, structure, and accountability. You’ll work closely with our Producer and department leads to ensure production pipelines, especially art outsourcing, run smoothly, efficiently & to standard. This is a role for someone who lives in the details: organizing asset flows, tracking dependencies, verifying process compliance, and keeping multiple external teams aligned. You’re not here to direct creativity: you’re here to make sure creative work moves through the system cleanly, consistently, and on time.

• Maintain and evolve production dashboards, task boards, and asset trackers in Jira.
• Work with the Producer to ensure milestones, stage gates, and handoffs happen on schedule and at the expected quality level.
• Proactively identify risks, bottlenecks, and misalignments across teams, proposing and driving solutions.
• Support art leads by managing feedback loops and ensuring external partners are aligned with the latest briefs and technical standards.
• Run daily or weekly syncs, keeping everyone informed, accountable, and focused on what matters most.

You Are

• A seasoned production operator with 5+ years in outsourcing management, art production coordination, or game production.
• Experienced in art pipelines (3D, environment, animation, or tech art) and familiar with standard DCC workflows and file structures.
• Comfortable doing technical QA passes on asset deliveries to verify compliance—not judging artistic quality, but ensuring consistency and readiness.
