Project: Unannounced Title
Location: Remote
Contract Length: May - June 2026
Hours: Available West Coast hours (8am–4pm PST)
Start: May 4, 2026

Ironroot Games is an independent game studio founded by veteran AAA developers (ZeniMax Online Studios, Naughty Dog, and others). Our current project is a third-person action-adventure set in a sci-fi world. The game blends combat, exploration, and a strong narrative focus.
We’re looking for a producer to help us finish our gameplay demo and get the project ready for publisher conversations this summer.
This is a focused, short-term role. The goal is to bring structure, clarity, and momentum to the final stretch of the demo.
You’ll be working with a ~25 person team plus an external art/animation group handling cinematics. The team is experienced and already in motion. We need someone who can step in, organize the work, and help us land the demo cleanly. -
What you’ll be doing:
- Own and maintain the demo schedule
- Break down remaining work into clear, trackable tasks
- Coordinate across design, engineering, art, and animation
- Help keep external partners aligned (cinematic animation, mocap-related work)
- Identify risks early and surface them clearly
- Keep communication tight so the team can stay focused and moving
What we’re looking for:
- Experience shipping games, ideally action or combat-focused
- Background in indie or small team development
- Familiarity with art, animation, and mocap pipelines
- Comfortable working in fast moving environments
- Able to bring structure without slowing teams down
- Direct, organized, and proactive communicator
Bonus if you’ve been part of publisher pitches or early-stage production planning
Fit:
This role is best for someone who likes jumping into something mid-flight and helping it land. You won’t be expected to own the entire production. You’ll be helping a small, experienced team stay aligned and execute at a high level.
Compensation:
Contract role for May–June
Base: $12,000 – $18,000 total
Completion bonus: $2,000 – $4,000 upon successful demo delivery
Priority consideration for a full-time Producer role post-funding
