Deep Silver Volition has been creating wildly original and successful video games for over 25 years, including the fan-favorite Saints Row series. Our studio has prospered by making fun, innovative games no one else can make, while focusing on work-life balance and fostering a culture of collaboration, continuous growth, and learning.

This is a remote-friendly role. We’re a hybrid work environment, headquartered in Champaign, IL but with employees working permanently remotely across the U.S.

We’re seeking a Senior Producer for an upcoming, unannounced title. As a Senior Producer, you’ll establish scalable process improvements that achieve our goals while sustaining a healthy and empowering team environment. You’ll balance creative pursuits with scheduling needs, pushing for quality and innovation while managing project scope and budget. To succeed in this role, you should be inventive, inspiring, and well organized, with a broad set of hard and soft creative production skills, and enthusiasm for building and leading diverse and inclusive teams.

What you’ll do as a Senior Producer:

• Lead and nurture a diverse group of creative production professionals across several areas of focus (IP development, art outsourcing, product innovation, branding, and packaging) to be leaders in their craft and grow in their careers.
• Drive product quality, regularly reviewing the game and providing constructive, thoughtful feedback to the team.
• Inform and guide the team with a detailed understanding of risks, dependencies, and resource constraints. Identify potential areas of risk, create/execute mitigation plans before issues happen, and keep the team running at a high level of productivity.
• Facilitate communication across the project team; clearly communicate tasks and responsibilities to staff. Act as primary problem solver, resolving conflicts before they impact production and productivity.
• Partner with Project Managers to deliver and refine the project roadmap. Participate in Scrum team ceremonies, including daily standups, sprint planning, backlog grooming and retros.
• Track bugs and triage regularly with your team, assessing, assigning, and prioritizing according to sprint and project needs.
• Develop and share game industry best practices for product management, team communication, LiveOps, road mapping and business strategies.
• Define, implement, and evolve team processes that foster collaboration, open feedback, and individual initiative.
• Be a champion for a healthy team culture that rejects crunch while supporting each other to carry out ambitious goals.
• Craft clear, detailed, and proactive communication to your immediate group and our studio leadership team.

What we’re looking for:

• 8+ years’ experience in game development production.
• Full project life cycle experience as an internal game producer, with at least 3 shipped AAA game titles.
• 4+ years’ experience as a trusted and inspiring manager and motivator, with high EQ and low ego.
• Comprehensive understanding of agile methodologies, project management tools, and game development life cycle.
• Empathetic collaboration style, with an ability to articulate the “why” instead of just the “how” and “what” to ensure developers apply insights for future features.
• Persuasive and effective communication skills, with proven experience in diplomatically and effectively negotiating efficient solutions across cross-functional teams.
• A resourceful and adaptive entrepreneurial spirit, with a bias for action.
• Strong intellectual curiosity, willing to embrace experimentation and invite open participation in creative problem-solving.
• A servant leader mindset, with a passion for enabling creative people to do their best work.

Some of our benefits:

• Subsidized medical/dental/vision insurance
• Company-paid life, short-term, & long-term disability insurance
• Generous paid time off (including parental leave and an annual company shutdown between Christmas & New Year’s)
• 401k with company contribution
• Annual learning & development budget + access to LinkedIn Learning
• Quarterly swag & care packages
• Paid subscriptions to Headspace, Doordash, Sworkit, and other wellness apps

At Deep Silver Volition we believe in fostering an open, collaborative, and diverse environment, and we are proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We will consider all qualified applicants without attention to race, color, national origin, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, genetic information, disability, age, veteran status, or military status.

Justified: City Primeval 

Emmy-winning series “Justified”

There are many big names attached. Background Talent on this needs to stay amazing! Let’s make this THE best show. We do not start shooting for at least a couple of weeks. However, we need to select our Police in Uniform and Tact Talent now. This will allow costume department to order your uniform and assure that it fits well. You don’t want the wrong size and they have to ‘hide you’. No…you will want to work a lot on this great opportunity. 

As on all of these big shows now, we need to comply with COVID guidelines as long as we have them. Covid testing is located at Chicago Studio City. All Zone A actors/background will be required to be fully vaccinated with booster. You will bring your vaccination card to their office before or after testing, per Sony policy, They can only accept ‘in person’ cards. Please do not email them. 

Rate of Pay is the standard $120 for up to 8 hours, plus time and one half overtime PLUS $50 covid stipend. $30 for up to 2 hours for costume fitting. Free parking as usual. Chicago area.

We love our ‘real’ cops. However, the budget is paying the regular extra rate for everyone due to the volume we will be casting. If you are ‘real’ and willing to work at the regular extra rate, please note that in your submission. From time to time, we may ask for a few ‘real’ in addition. This post is for the regulars that we need to count on.

Please email a couple of current color photos (current hair) of yourself with no sunglasses or anyone else in the photo (even if you are on file with us). Clean shaven is preferred, along with clean cut haircut. 

We will most likely film until mid-August. If you can make yourself totally available, please indicate in your email. If you have just a few commitments and would still like to be considered, mention the dates you are not available. If selected, you would start in the first episode, which starts shooting in a few weeks.

There is not much more we can say right now until after our meetings as offices are just now opening up.

We need ALL of your sizes including height, weight, jacket, shirt, pants, shoes. Give us your best cell phone # to receive texts. This number will be in the RABS system for payroll and check in. We found it to be the most reliable for tracking. SESSIONS PAYROLL will be cutting the checks. We found them to be one of the best. Let us know if you have any visible tattoos or anything we should know about that could affect your role. 

Our Erika will be our Costume professional working with Wardrobe Department. Our Torri will help you with Covid Guidelines and work with compliance team. Andrew and Pat will be assisting also. Only the best for the best! They are very professional and will be a pleasure to work with. Darlene will be conducting all of the Background Talent and Stand In casting.

We should also concentrate on mostly Illinois tax residents for their tax break.
