HIRING: GAME PRODUCER
Employment Type: Part-Time / Freelance
Location: Remote
Reports To: Project Leads
About the Role
We are seeking an organized, proactive, and collaborative Game Producer to assist in managing the development lifecycle of an indie video game prototype. In this role, you will work closely with the project leads to keep production running smoothly, ensure timelines and milestones are met, and streamline communication across the team (design, art, engineering, and audio).
This is an ideal role for someone with strong project management experience who thrives in a creative, fast-paced environment. Prior experience in game production or interactive software development is a strong plus.
About the Project
THE SOLAR GRID: VIDEO GAME is an interactive narrative adventure adapting Ganzeer’s acclaimed graphic novel series. Set nearly a thousand years after a catastrophic "Great Flood," Earth is kept in perpetual daylight by orbiting solar satellites—designed to counter ecological collapse, but now exploited to sustain wealthy off-world colonies.
Co-created by artist Ganzeer and Emmy-winning immersive director Yasmin Elayat, the game combines hand-rendered art, rich worldbuilding, and interactive storytelling. Players explore ruined industrial landscapes, unearth speculative artifacts, and navigate consequential choices about survival, justice, and resistance in a world shaped by climate collapse and technological domination.

- Team Coordination: Facilitate regular team check-ins, stand-ups, milestone reviews, and sprint planning sessions; track action items and follow up on blockers.
- Communication & Documentation: Maintain clear project documentation, track design specifications, and keep internal communication channels organized.
- Resource & Schedule Management: Coordinate asset hand-offs between creative, technical, and audio leads; flag potential schedule risks or scope adjustments early.
- QA & Build Tracking: Help coordinate internal playtests, gather feedback, and track bug reports/issue prioritization with the development team.
Qualifications & Requirements
- Project Management Skills: 1–3+ years of experience in project management, event production, creative tech, or media production coordination.
- Tools Knowledge: Proficiency with project management tools (e.g., Notion, Trello, Asana, Jira) and team collaboration platforms (e.g. Slack).
- Communication: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills with high attention to detail.
- Problem Solver: Proactive, self-motivated, and comfortable working in an iterative, dynamic production environment.
