Description

As a global gaming company, we've helped millions to fight their way through fearsome mobs in Minecraft Dungeons, battle each other and the environment in Rust Console Edition and most recently worked with Bethesda Game Studios to craft new adventures for Vault Dwellers around the world in Fallout 76.

Most recently, we worked with Rockstar Games to bring the beloved western experience Red Dead Redemption and its horror companion Undead Nightmare together for the first time on the Nintendo Switch and modern PlayStation systems.

We strive to avoid crunch.

Overtime is optional and always paid, and we offer flexible working hours to allow you to enjoy a normal family life whilst making great games.

We're looking for an Associate Producer to join our award-winning team in Middlesbrough (UK), home to the beautiful North Yorkshire coastline and countryside.

We can support UK relocation and have a dedicated People team on standby to assist you and your family with every step to us.

Strictly no agencies (sorry guys) and we're unable to sponsor a visa for this role.
