About Us

As an independent developer and publisher, Templar develops the games that we want, on our own schedule. We are actively staffing up for both in-house game development and supporting published titles. Templar provides a professional yet non-corporate environment where every team member’s input and collaboration matters. Based in Alpharetta, GA just north of Atlanta, Templar is in the perfect area for those that enjoy sunny weather and a relatively low cost of living.

Role Overview

You will work on Templar Media’s first game, Gate Zero, where, you'll own significant portions of project delivery, act as a key liaison between creative, technical, and business teams, and ensure we ship high-quality games on time and within budget. This is a hands-on role perfect for someone who thrives in dynamic environments and wants real ownership without full executive responsibility.

Key Responsibilities

Lead day-to-day production for one or more game projects (or major features/systems), including scheduling, milestone planning, risk management, and dependency tracking
Facilitate cross-discipline collaboration between design, art, engineering, audio, QA, and other teams — running effective meetings, removing blockers, and driving consensus
Maintain and update project schedules, budgets, and resource plans using tools like Jira, Confluence, Trello, or similar
Velocity tracking - utilizing the team’s ability to produce and apply the data to inform or influence development strategies
Track progress against milestones, identify risks/delays early, and propose mitigation strategies
Communicate status updates clearly to senior leadership, external partners (if applicable), and the broader team
Help define and refine production processes to improve efficiency and team velocity
Support scoping decisions, prioritize features/backlog, and champion realistic scope management
Mentor junior producers or production assistants when needed
Contribute to post-launch support, live operations planning (if relevant), and retrospectives

Requirements

3–6+ years of experience in game production or related project management roles (video games preferred; transferable experience from tech/software considered)
Proven track record of shipping at least one commercial game (indie, AA, or AAA) as a producer or associate producer
Strong understanding of the full game development lifecycle (concept → pre-production → production → launch → live ops)
Excellent organizational and time-management skills with demonstrated ability to manage multiple priorities
Proficiency with production tools (Jira, Confluence, Azure DevOps, Shotgun/Flow, Notion, etc.)
Familiarity with agile/Scrum methodologies (or hybrid approaches common in games)
Solid grasp of game development disciplines (design, art, engineering, QA) and the ability to speak their language
Exceptional communication skills — both written and verbal — with experience presenting to stakeholders
Passion for games and a player-first mindset

Nice-to-Haves

Experience with single player narrative games
Previous work on cross-platform titles (PC, console, mobile)
Familiarity with outsourcing coordination or vendor management
Background in risk management, budgeting, or production analytics
Certification in project management (PMP, Scrum Master, etc.) — not required
