Job Description

As an Associate Producer at Ubi MTL, you will be responsible for the development of a specific part of a game. Depending on the production strategy and the project's organizational structure, your area could be something like animation, level design, gameplay, the world, or a combination of several.

What you'll do

• Work in partnership with the leadership team to understand the overall vision and requirements of the game and communicate them across production.
• Define the scope of your specific domain: determine its deliverables, quality objectives and key milestones, and establish its development strategies and budgets.
• Put everything in place to prepare for production: develop workflows and pipelines and implement means to facilitate colleague interaction.
• Set clear objectives for your team members and ensure the process to achieve those objectives is as smooth as possible.
• Anticipate risks and implement action plans to overcome them.
• Meet with your team to clarify milestones, prioritize deliverables, review progress, address concerns, provide guidance, gather feedback, etc.
• Synchronize with the Producer, Production Director and production managers on progress and momentum and track budgets.
• Identify opportunities to improve and evolve our processes, methods and practices.
• Participate in recruitment to build your team and foster its professional development and career progression.

• High flexibility to adapt to a range of situations and manage interdependencies;
• Familiarity with various project management methodologies;
• Excellent communication, interpersonal and presentation skills;
• An attentive, collaborative and innovative mindset;
