Producer - 3 Month Contract (Remote)

Soulbound (https://soulbound.game/) is a top-down pixel art MMO launching on Steam. We've had over 1 million players on browser and have completely rebuilt the game for PC — new engine, new game loop, new progression and narrative system. We're a remote team of ~20 gearing up for a public playtest. We need a producer who takes the creative director's vision and makes it happen on time, to standard. We're looking for a experienced, passionate producer to get the vision into sprints and to make sure the sprints deliver the highest quality possible.

That means:

• You take the director's goals and translate them into milestones, sprints, and deliverables the team can execute
• You own the 3-month roadmap. You break it down, track it, and make the hard calls about scope and priority
• You run two teams (6 engineering, 6 art) through 2-week sprints in Linear — standups, retros, planning
• You hold the quality bar. If something isn't up to standard, you catch it before it ships — not after
• You anticipate problems before they become fires. You build systems so the same question never gets asked twice
• You communicate crisply in writing. Decisions are documented. Status is visible. Nothing is ambiguous
• You keep 12 people aligned, unblocked, and moving in the same direction

We are looking for someone who understands MMOs and live-service games deeply enough to know what "good" looks like — and who won't let anything less than that reach players.

About the contract:

• 3 months initially, with genuine potential for ongoing work
• Start immediately, within 2 weeks.
• Remote, with UK timezone overlap
• £6,000–10,000/month depending on experience

• You've shipped games on Steam with indie-sized teams (~10+ people)
• Strong knowledge of MMOs, live-service games, or social games — you understand progression systems, game loops, community dynamics, and what keeps players coming back and you have a strong understanding of what players expect in the current market.
• You can translate creative vision meetings into executable plans — you bridge the gap between "what we want" and "what gets built" through the directors vision.
• You understand the engineering pipeline, from design to QA and are able to work closely with the art producer, and CTO to maintain their sprints and team workloads.
• You've used Linear or equivalent (Jira, Shortcut) to run real sprints across multiple disciplines and have strong organisation using these tools.
• You are confident holding standards. If the director says "this isn't good enough," you would have caught it first.
• You proactively anticipate blockers within the team and solve them before anyone has to ask
• Available to start immediately
• Comfortable working remotely with UK timezone overlap or hybrid at our London studio.

• Highly competitive depending on experience
• Fully remote or hybrid
• Work on a game with a proven player base (1M+ players)
• Direct access to the founder and director level decision making.
• Opportunity for ongoing contract after 3 months.
• Small, fast-moving team, your impact can be immediate and visible.
