Job Description
On being an Associate Producer at Ubisoft Toronto:

As an Associate Producer at Ubisoft Toronto, you'll drive the development of a specific part of a game. Depending on the project's larger production strategy and organizational structure, your part could be a component like animation, level design, gameplay, world, or a combination of a few.

All in all, you'll guide one or many multidisciplinary teams to bring your assigned portion to life from start to end. You'll pair well-designed work processes with clear expectations for your team members to do their best work and optimize their talents.

Through careful planning, follow-through, and oversight, you'll keep development on pace, ensuring that time is spent on the right things, and pivot when need be.

While pushing production capacity and quality, you'll see to it that your team is ready and able to deliver their chunk of the game on time and in a supportive environment.

What you'll do:
• Partner with the core team to understand the overall game vision and requirements + communicate them across the production floor;
• Establish the scope of your area of focus: create its long-term roadmap and schedule, establish its deliverables, quality targets, and key milestones, and define its development strategies and budgets;
• Put everything in place to pave the way for production: develop workflows and pipelines + implement means to facilitate interaction between colleagues;
• Set clear goals for your team members to achieve + make sure the process of delivering those goals is as smooth as possible;

• Meet with your team to clarify milestones, prioritize deliverables, give updates, address concerns, provide direction, gather feedback, etc;
• Sync up with the producer, production director, and production managers on progress and momentum + follow up on budgets;
