As a Game Producer on the Unpublished R&D Product team in Shanghai, you will keep the team's day-to-day execution running. The production plan, work system, and team rituals are set with the team's senior producer.

Follow up with owners across teams, clear minor blockers yourself, and escalate anything bigger to the senior producer promptly, with clear context and suggested next steps. - Maintain documentation and status reporting. Keep workflows, schedules, meeting notes, decision logs, and project status accurate and easy to find. Put out regular status updates for stakeholders, and help capture post-milestone learnings and onboarding materials.
