Lead Producer - Monetization and Content Production Leadership (Apex Legends)

Responsibilities

• Directly manage and mentor a team of Producers and Senior Producers. You are responsible for their career growth, performance management, and ensuring they operate to high quality.
• Partner with the EP to identify staffing gaps, lead hiring initiatives, and ensure that our production bench is diverse, high-performing, and aligned with the studio’s DEI and team health goals.
• You don’t do the day-to-day for your teams; you build the environment where they can do it themselves with excellence.
• You don’t just follow a playbook; you’re a change agent that can innovate and adapt. You will evaluate and refine our development methodologies to increase systemic efficiency and reduce team friction.
• Use structured methods to plan and sustain organizational change. You proactively identify bottlenecks in the content pipeline and design systemic solutions to overcome them.
• Champion the use of data and retrospectives to iterate on how we work, ensuring production is seen as a value-add craft across the studio.
• Act as the primary interface between Content/Monetization pods and the broader studio leadership. You align Creative Directors, Tech Leads, and Product Managers to ensure technical feasibility meets creative ambition.
• Own the high-level roadmap for your verticals. You are responsible for the delicate balance of "Revenue Accountability & ROI," ensuring the math of player engagement meets our business targets.
• Facilitate the difficult conversations around scope and priority. You identify risks early and lead the team through complex trade-off decisions without sacrificing quality or morale.
• Design and oversee our Co-Development and vendor management strategy. You will treat external partners as a seamless extension of our internal team.
• Manage geographically dispersed teams, ensuring clear communication, cultural integration, and quality control pipelines across different time zones and studios.
• Efficiently allocate resources across internal pods and external vendors to meet the fluctuating demands of a live-service environment.

Qualifications

• You have 8+ years of experience in game production, with at least 3 years in a people-management or leadership role.
• You have a proven track record of managing high-budget co-development or external vendor relationships.
• You understand the nuances of monetization features and live-service operations. You can speak "data" with Product Managers and "vision" with Creative Directors.
• You can pivot from a high-level budget meeting with the EP to a deep-dive technical blocker in a pod without losing focus.
• You have a "Player-First" mindset, ensuring that every production decision is filtered through the lens of the player experience.
• You experience launching and sustaining a Top-Tier Live Service title.
• You have deep expertise in Jira/Confluence and modern project management toolsets.
• A history of contributing to the broader production community (speaking, writing, or mentoring).
