Here at Irrational Games we can boast about taking gaming innovation to the next level. Our recent success at the EEE saw us take out the much coveted Game of the Show award for Bioshock from IGN, Gamespot and Gamespy. IGN also saw fit to dub us their Developer of the Year 2005.This is the type of exposure and experience you can share by joining our award winning team in our Australian Studio.
Based in the heart of Australias national capital, Canberra, we are experiencing booming success in the industry and due to this growth we are in need of an experienced and passionate Producer to join our team.
As a producer here at Irrational, you will be responsible for supervising a development team to deliver a game on schedule, on budget and to quality. You will also be responsible for liaising with the publisher or distribution partner and other third parties.
We believe that a successful game producer is the heart of the development team. You must primarily be a “people person”, capable of organizing, inspiring and dealing with conflict in a group of creative people.
You must be capable of understanding the development process and ensuring that it runs smoothly and on time. You must be aware of the tensions inherent in managing a creative process to deliver a product on time and to budget and be capable of balancing the competing interests of quality and timely delivery. Irrational believes that great game producers must be capable of thinking on their feet and of responding flexibly to an ever-changing development environment.
