Role
Who you are
- Proven experience in a production-related role (Producer, Project/Program/Product Manager, Development Manager, etc.)
- Hands-on experience guiding cross-discipline game teams through full feature lifecycles
- Proven ability to build milestone & sprint plans, track progress with dashboards, and adjust based on data
- Practical knowledge of Agile/Scrum or Kanban, prioritization frameworks, and structured thinking techniques
- Familiarity with QA workflows and integrating testing into development pipelines
- Strong communication, facilitation, EQ, and stakeholder-management skills
What the job involves
- As a Producer on Central Technology you’ll be the heartbeat of a cross-disciplinary feature team, turning ambitious ideas into systems that scale to support millions of players
- Partnering with Senior and Lead Producers, you’ll translate the product roadmap into crystal-clear milestones, build resilient delivery plans, and keep Product, Design, Engineering, and QA moving in sync
- Your knack for structured planning, risk spotting, and servant leadership ensures every sprint stays on target, every release hits its quality bar, and every teammate feels empowered to do their best work—all while keeping player value front and center
- Champion product goals with your squad, ensuring everyone understands why and what we’re building
- Integrate player insights and cross-functional input into feature planning and discovery
- Build and maintain roadmaps, milestone plans, and sprint goals; keep them visible through dashboards, burndowns, and status reports
- Drive end-to-end feature delivery, balancing scope, quality, and capacity
- Proactively identify blockers, resource gaps, and scope changes; create mitigation plans or escalate early
- Lead draft risk registers for your roadmap areas
- Partner with QA to embed testing early, run defect triage, and track quality metrics (e.g., defect trends, zero-bug-bounce readiness)
- Agile Facilitation & Continuous Improvement
- Run stand-ups, planning, reviews, and retrospectives; capture learnings and iterate on team processes
- Build concise documentation so practices stay clear and repeatable
- Keep partners consulted and informed; coordinate small-scale outsourcing or vendor work, ensuring assets land on spec and on time
- Foster a culture of psychological safety, creativity, and growth; mentor peers, model servant leadership, and help nip burnout or conflict in the bud
- Monitor and mitigate financial risks, aligning resources with product and business objectives to ensure sustainable, high-impact outcomes
- Represent Production across the studio — championing player-focused, data-informed decision-making, sharing best practices, and elevating cross-team collaboration
Our take
Founded in 2000, Jagex is the video game studio behind the RuneScape titles. It is one of the largest British video game studios, having ammased 2.4 million active subscribers, one million free-to-play users, and over 300 million lifetime RuneScape accounts.
Jagex specialises in "forever games", in which players can continue to discover new experiences and challenges without ever reaching an end. RuneScape is a perfect example of this approach, still receiving updates over twenty years after its initial release.
On top of the RuneScape franchise, the company's acquisition of Gamepires brought titles such as SCUM under the company's banner, which it is also working to make into a forever game. It also acquired Pipeworks - adding a Games-as-a-Service platform to its broadening portfolio.
In 2024, it was announced that Jagex would be bought by CVC Capital Partners and Haveli Investments. This represents a move that will position it well to pursue creating more new and innovative player experiences in the future.
