Lead Producer| Blizzard

Blizzard’s newest game team is looking for someone to join its ranks as lead producer. With Hearthstone, Blizzard has revived its tradition of creating small and nimble game teams and we are following in those footsteps. As part of our team, you will join in the leadership of a small but mighty band of developers and exert your talents to help craft our processes, organization, goals and execution.

We can’t tell you exactly what the game is yet, but trust us, it’s awesome.

Ideally, you have passion for and experience in wrangling both small scrappy teams and large multi-discipline juggernauts. You enjoy getting your hands dirty in day-to-day game production as well as thinking strategically in solving high level challenges. Maybe you even enjoy personally jumping into databases or modeling packages from time to time. You speak the languages of art, engineering, game design and business – some fluently, the others enough to be dangerous effective. In short, you understand the science and appreciate the art of making amazing games, and have made it all come together in the shipping of world-class products.

Responsibilities

Project manages all aspects of the game.
Provide leadership, guidance and execution to ensure both quality and timeliness of objectives and milestones.
Champion the game to all external departments to build transparency, knowledge and passion for the project.
Communicate with executive leadership on status, risks, and needs of the project.
Do whatever it takes for the game to be great, the team to be healthy, and the execution to be flawless.

Requirements
A minimum of 3 years’ experience as a senior / lead producer
Experience shipping at least one top quality online title in a senior or lead producer role
Experience with the ongoing operation of a game after launch
Development experience as an engineer, artist, or designer a plus
Able to communicate effectively with engineering, art, design, and business personnel
Unrelenting self-motivation and initiative
A deep, abiding, and possibly somewhat untoward passion for games

Required Application Materials
Resume
Cover Letter which should include:
Why you are interested in working at Blizzard
What games you are currently playing

**Only submittals with Cover Letters will be considered.

Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. and its affiliated companies is an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer.

TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."

Another WoW expansion or Diablo III expansion? Laughing Blizzard hasn't made anything relevant for old school gamers in almost a decade. Diablo III was flawed to the core, Starcraft II was okay but (a) too expensive (b) outdated and offered nothing new and WoW .... well it's WoW Laughing Generic grind-fest with dull "go fetch/kill" quests wahey.

Based on: "Blizzard’s newest game team is looking for someone to join its ranks as lead producer. With Hearthstone, Blizzard has revived its tradition of creating small and nimble game teams and we are following in those footsteps."

This is likely to be something new, and casual like Hearthstone. I hope it's not some F2P microtransaction nonsense tho.

I'm interested to see what it is. Hearthstone is actually pretty good IMO. Their AAA titles are what's pretty much lacking, at least D3 and WoW. I picked up SC2:HoS for $20 and really like the campaign so far. Blizzard is known for their polish, and I really look forward to being able to play Hearthstone on my phone. Hopefully it will be something cool and fun. I also think that Heroes of the Storm is looking good, so I guess we'll see.

Erm. It's a wall of text. You won't read all of it. It directs you to what's worth reading.


TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."
"A tangled tale of sex, violence, power, junk food..."
"Like Nothing On Earth"
