About the role

We are looking for a Producer who thrives in early-stage startup environments and brings solid fluency in video game development. You will keep a portfolio of game projects moving: owning internal projects end-to-end at the execution level, and partnering on external development engagements to make sure timelines, deliverables, and contracts stay on track.

This is a hands-on production role. You will keep work flowing across multiple projects, hold vendors accountable to their commitments, and catch problems before they become fires. You will run vendor meetings and act as the day-to-day point of contact on the projects you own, with support from an experienced production lead.

CDR's production team is based in Buenos Aires, Argentina and report to CDR’s Head of Production.

What You’ll Do

Own internal projects end-to-end at the execution level: tracking tasks, managing timelines, coordinating across disciplines and with client-side teams, and keeping everything moving.
Build strong working relationships with the internal teams you support, becoming a trusted, reliable partner they can count on.
Keep work flowing across a portfolio of projects, staying on top of the details so nothing slips through the cracks.
Proactively spot risks and blockers, flag them early, and help drive them to resolution.
Act as the day-to-day point of contact for external development partners on the projects you manage, running vendor meetings independently and keeping alignment on scope, dates, and deliverables.
Track milestones and hold providers accountable to their commitments, dates, and contract terms.
Improve CDR's internal systems, processes, and documentation to make production more efficient and repeatable.

Must-Have Qualifications

3+ years of professional experience in video game production or external development management.
Solid understanding of game development cycles, pipelines, and dependencies across disciplines (art, design, engineering, QA).
You’re a strong operator: you keep a large volume of moving parts tracked and visible, and nothing slips.
Comfortable running meetings and communicating directly with internal teams and external partners in a clear, professional, and warm-but-firm way.
Fluency with project management tools and methodologies.
Comfortable using AI tools day-to-day to optimize workflows.
Professional communication in English, verbally and in writing. You can build rapport, navigate nuance, and develop real working relationships, not just get the words across.

Additional Requirements

A bias toward follow-through: you close loops and don't let things go quiet.
Sound judgment when things are ambiguous: you can tell what's worth solving yourself and what needs to be raised.
You treat feedback as fuel, and you lift the work and the people around you.
Willing to roll up your sleeves and jump in on any task. In a team this size, no job is too small.

Great to Have

Exposure to external development partnerships, vendor management, or provider-side client work.
Familiarity with contracts, SOWs, or change order management.
Exposure to RFP or procurement processes (scoping, distributing to studios, evaluating bids).
Track record of dropping into unfamiliar production environments and becoming useful fast.
Experience in fast-moving startup environments or similarly ownership-driven roles.
