Your role:

As Head of Producing, you are the driving force behind all production activities at Aesir Interactive. You lead a passionate team of Producers and Project Managers across multiple projects, ensuring our games are delivered on time, within scope, and to the highest quality standards.
In this senior leadership role, you are responsible for the strategic and operational development of the Production Department, aligning workflows, resources, and priorities with Aesir's long-term vision. You collaborate closely with the Chief Production Officer (CPO) and studio leadership to define production culture, establish best practices, and empower your teams to operate with excellence and clarity.
You combine entrepreneurial thinking, structured leadership, and a strong execution mindset. You bring well-defined plans, know how to explain them in detail, and ensure they are executed effectively, without unnecessary meta-discussion. Your focus lies on building robust production pipelines and processes that drive consistent delivery across all projects.

Who are we looking for:

We're looking for a decisive and structured leader, someone who comes with a clear plan, can explain it precisely, and knows how to put it into action.
  • You understand how to separate and align Producing and Project Management effectively.
  • You balance creative ambition with operational excellence.
  • You inspire ownership through clarity, consistency, and accountability.
  • You value collaboration and communication as the foundation of great production.
  • You believe that process discipline and creative freedom are not opposites, but partners in great game development.

  • Take operational ownership of production-related decisions in alignment with studio leadership
  • Represent Aesir's production perspective in internal and external negotiations
  • Maintain a solution-oriented, hands-on approach to leadership with a strong focus on implementation and accountability
