Mid-level Producer Production · Wakefield - Tileyard North

Who We Are

At Cast Iron Games, we build technically ambitious games in a calm, focused environment, where every team member has a voice. Based in Tileyard North, we collaborate with high quality partners on high-quality projects, guided by clarity, consistency, and mutual respect. We’re a young and growing studio, but our team is made up of experienced developers who’ve worked across AAA and independent titles. Together, we’re building a supportive, balanced environment where great work happens without crunch.

The Role

As a Producer, you will be dedicated to a co-development project, owning the day-to-day delivery of your assigned team. You will ensure work is clearly scoped, prioritised, tracked, and delivered to agreed milestones, quality standards, and budgets. You will act as the primary production contact for your project team and external partners, balancing hands-on execution with proactive risk management. Alongside project ownership, you will contribute to wider Production department planning, process improvements, and best practices within a growing studio environment. This role requires strong organisational discipline, confident communication, and the ability to independently run production processes while escalating strategic or commercial risks appropriately.

  • Maintain awareness of player experience and partner quality standards when prioritising work and evaluating trade-offs.
• Reporting & Commercial Awareness
  • Maintain accurate reporting on milestone health, burn rate, dependencies, and key risks.
  • Use project data and production insight to surface issues early and support informed decision-making.
  • Support Production leadership with budget tracking and resource planning for your project.
  • Maintain awareness of the commercial implications of scope changes and delivery decisions.
• Team Enablement & Process
  • Facilitate core production ceremonies (e.g. sprint planning, reviews, stand-ups, milestone tracking).
  • Ensure production tools and documentation are accurate, current, and understood by the team.
  • Remove blockers and improve communication flow across disciplines and, where applicable, distributed teams.
  • Contribute to the evolution of studio production practices and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Player & Product Focus
  • Maintain awareness of player impact and finished product quality.
  • Support review processes to ensure features meet quality expectations and partner standards.
  • Stay informed on industry trends and production best practices and new tooling.
