Executive Producer

We’re Squanch Games!

Squanch Games was birthed into our mortal world in 2016. Since then we’ve released several laugh-out-loud interactive experiences that have captured the hearts and minds of debaucherous gamers the world over.

If you’ve ended up here, then perhaps you consider yourself a little “Squanchy.” One who is Squanchy has the courage to plunder the depths of madness for joy in its most pure and irreverent essence. Some say it’s a curse. Others, a blessing.

In our humble opinion, to be Squanchy is to truly live. Sounds fun, doesn't it?

Production Department: Executive Producer

We’re hunting for an Executive Producer to wrangle chaos, inspire humans, and keep the creative train hurtling toward launch without going off the rails. You’ll own big, ambitious projects from “hey, what if we…” to “holy crap, we shipped it,” all while keeping quality, timelines, and budgets in check. We are a growing studio and your voice, ambition, and work ethic will play a large part in changes we make going forward. No pressure ;)

You Are:

• The human version of duct tape – You hold things together when it counts and look cool doing it.
• A fearless communicator – Ambiguity doesn’t scare you; you put a leash on it and walk it around the block.
• A solution factory – Problems go in, ideas and plans come out.
• An idea agnostic – The best idea wins, whether it’s yours, mine, or the dog’s.
• An accountability freak - You understand that at a small studio, everyone needs to carry their share of the water.
• A level-100 gamer/producer hybrid – You don’t just make games; you play the hell out of them.

What You'll Do:

• Build and run production plans for entire games or huge chunks of them — budgets, milestones, risk logs, dashboards, the works.
• Partner with Execs, Directors, Leads, and Managers to guide work through the pipeline like a benevolent (or slightly chaotic) air traffic controller.
• Keep the creative vision intact from concept art to the final patch notes.
• Herd internal and external teams, making sure everyone knows what’s most important, what’s next and when it’s due.
• Mentor the next generation of producers so they can eventually replace you and you can finally get some rest!
• Shuffle teams around when the project shifts gears or something isn’t working as well as it could. Conversely, you know when the team needs stability and are a shield from the slings & arrows of outrageous fortune.
• Be our voice with publishers and stakeholders, handling milestone reporting and submissions like you’ve been there before.
• Build, maintain and work the project budget to squeeze every last drop of value from our hard earned dollahs. You understand what problems money can make disappear and which ones it can’t.
• Occasionally hop on a plane to represent Squanch in person.

What We're Looking For:

• Shipped multiple games in a Senior or Lead Production role (or equivalent - the games industry is weird).
• Can switch between Agile, Waterfall, Kanban or Bokononism without breaking a sweat.
• A Producer who knows when to trust their gut vs. the spreadsheet.
• Skilled in building trust across disciplines and uncrossing wires before they hit Slack.
• Bonus points for experience wrangling fully remote teams and outsourcing.

Benefits:

• Salary range: $155,000 to $175,000 depending on experience
• Health, dental & vision insurance with dependent coverage
• Short term & long term disability insurance coverage
• FSA & Dependent Care FSA
• Paid parental leave
• 401(k) with match
• Flexible PTO & schedule
• Completely remote studio
• Stipend to ensure a comfortable work-from-home setup
• Monthly snack box shipped directly to you
• Monthly stipend for WFH expenses

Location:

We are a fully remote studio operating from all over the United States! While we haven't hit all 50, we encourage applicants from across the country to apply and help us complete our map.
