Producer (Multiple Levels)

Magnopus • Los Angeles, CA

1d • $90,000 - $200,000

About The Position

We’re on a quest for Producers, who might have all the fancy training and certifications, who will maintain graceful control of project schedules, budgets, risks and issues to ensure successful delivery of complex productions that span software development, content creation, hardware integrations, and wild expectations. We want someone who will ‘own’ the project, someone to be a force multiplier, Someone who does not wait for action items to come to them, but truly drives every aspect of the process forward (from behind).

For those of you still reading, you’ll be working with many other friendly, experienced producers, project managers, and coordinators working across several teams. You’ll be shepherding a talented team of clever and aspirational people to the Promised Land (with brief sight-seeing trips through the Valley of Chaos, the Cliffs of Insanity, and The Swamps of Despair). Your teammates have a passion for creating unique experiences and want to be inspired by you, nurtured by you, and least-importantly have their timecards approved by you.

If you’re excited about things that have never been done before, and are an experienced technical/creative producer with the skills to manage the development and launch of a challenging and groundbreaking project within its budget and schedule, then we want to work with you.

Magnopus's studio postings are made in advance of work anticipated to be awarded. Hires cannot be made until contracts are awarded. In some instances, contracts may not be awarded which could delay or preempt the interview process. We appreciate your patience.
