WHAT’S THE ROLE?  

We’re looking for a Executive Producer to join our fantastic team, initially working on the highly anticipated sequel to the zoo simulation loved by millions worldwide, Planet Zoo, and then to lead production on a new unannounced title.

As Executive Producer, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping and executing our games. You’ll collaborate with world-class talent across multi-discipline teams to deliver an experience that pushes creative boundaries and delights players. This is an opportunity to influence a global brand, drive innovation, and ensure the highest standards of quality from concept through to launch. 

If you’re passionate about creating exceptional games and thrive in a leadership role, we’d love to hear from you.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING:

    • Providing strategic leadership across the development process, ensuring projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards. 
    • Working closely with the Game Director and discipline leads to execute the creative vision and maintain alignment across all teams. 
    • Mentoring and guiding the production team, overseeing resource allocation, and fostering an inclusive, high-performing environment. 
    • Taking full responsibility for project budgets, anticipating and mitigating risks, and making informed decisions to keep development on track. 
    • Maintaining clear, consistent communication with stakeholders and teams, providing regular progress updates and aligning goals with company objectives. 
    • Encouraging new ideas, optimising processes, and contributing to departmental standards, acting as a role model for exceptional production values. 

WHAT YOU’LL BRING:

    • Proven leadership experience in a production role, with a strong track record of delivering exceptional results on multiple games. 
    • Deep understanding of game development processes, from concept to launch, and the ability to optimise workflows for efficiency and quality. 
    • Outstanding communication and collaboration skills, capable of building strong relationships across multidisciplinary teams. 
    • Demonstrable expertise in project management, consistently delivering high-quality games on time and within budget. 
    • Strategic problem-solving and decisive leadership, with the ability to navigate challenges and drive successful outcomes. 

BONUS IF YOU HAVE:

    • Experience with Jira. 
    • Familiarity with management or simulation games. 

WHAT WE CAN OFFER YOU:

You will work with talented and passionate people to support, develop or publish our sophisticated and enduring games, in a creative, collaborative and inclusive environment. We love what we do, and we work hard to provide outstanding experiences for our players. 

Wellbeing is a big focus at Frontier, and we are continually evolving how we can support our people. We encourage a healthy work/life balance and provide a range of wellbeing activities, initiatives and sessions to support both mental and physical health.  

We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, which includes a success-based annual bonus, share option schemes, life assurance, private family healthcare, flexitime working hours, enhanced maternity/paternity leave, in-house subsidised catering, support with relocation, a Cycle to Work scheme, free bike servicing, and social activities and events.
