Producer

We are Fatshark
We are a critically acclaimed Swedish game development studio with about 170 experienced and skilled employees out of Stockholm. We are most well-known for developing the Warhammer: Vermintide franchise, but have also helped develop a number of AAA titles and will soon be launching the highly anticipated game Warhammer 40,000: Darktide.
We have grown quite a bit over the last few years but we still embrace the same values that we started with and still think of ourselves like one big family with fun at the center. We are known for our crazy internally designed socks, hackweeks, use Friday afternoons for studio-wide “social play” time and our CEO is not beneath fixing the coffee machine himself. It all adds up to an approachable, fun, passion-driven yet communal environment for us to work in.

The role
The Producer position is responsible for the oversight and success of a large set of features or services inside a Fatshark game. As a Producer you will work closely with the Project and Studio Leadership to help with developing all aspects of game creation, and building towards games as a service. Your responsibilities will primarily be focused on managing a larger part of the product feature set through all development stages. You will be involved heavily in strategic project planning, prioritization of work within the project space, setting and tracking of KPI, and managing the production to meet the product goals. You are also expected to help with fostering company culture, and finding opportunities to improve development in your area of the game.
