Producer

Description

OVERVIEW:

BLUE CASTLE GAMES (www.bluecastlegames.com) is a full-service, multi-project and multi-platform 3rd party developer located in Vancouver, Canada. The studio was formed in 2005, fulfilling the desire to start a company where creativity, experience and hard work come together to create outstanding games. We are currently a 100 plus-person studio with plans to expand to 150 in 2008. In its short tenure, Blue Castle has already developed and shipped The BIGS (published by 2K Sports in June 2007) on PS3, 360, PS2, PSP and Wii. We are well underway on three new projects - an unannounced Action title and two Sports titles.


Blue Castle is on the hunt for a Producer for its newest project... an un-announced Action title to be released on multiple platforms.

The Producer is a client-facing role accountable for our games feature set and quality; and our relationship with an external publisher. You know how to determine what the market wants, how to create a product plan to deliver that, how to lead a development team to meet quality and schedule requirements, and how to work with a publisher to meet product requirements and ensure marketing and PR efforts support the product's overall strategy and goals.

-Be an expert with respect to the gaming marketplace and competition
-Develop the core positioning and messaging for the product
