Producer in London

• The Producer runs delivery for the Cook & Merge core team and reports to the Product Owner.

The Product Owner decides what we build and in what order, the Producer takes charge of delivery; making sure it can actually be built in the time we have, working out dependencies across disciplines with the team, keeping the team at a sensible capacity, and flagging early when the plan and the capacity don't match.

• The role works day to day with development disciplines, marketing, customer support and studio stakeholders, and is the person everyone asks when they want to know where something stands.
• The ideal candidate for this role is;
• Proactive; surfaces problems before they land on the release
• Follows through; owned actions get resolved

• Work with discipline and feature leads to ensure features and content for upcoming releases are appropriately resourced, have associated tasks and timelines, and are achievable within the available capacity for the associated release, resolving potential issues or escalating to the PO where necessary
• Manage & optimise existing processes, documentation and team workflow
• Identify production workflows suited to AI tooling, pilot them, document them and roll out with appropriate review steps
• Produce stakeholder status reports and maintain release readiness tracking through RC phase
• Cover and assist in release management and localisation processes as required

Requirements

• Hands-on Agile and Jira experience (sprints, versions, boards, dashboards, JQL, basic admin) for a multi-discipline team
• Track record of shipping on a fixed release cadence, including RC phases and phased store rollouts
