Description

Jackbox Games is looking for a Senior Producer to join our team!

INTERESTED?

Great, we look forward to reading your application. Please include:

  • Your resume.A cover letter. You don’t need to be a professional writer for this job (we have those) but communication is important so we weigh cover letters heavily.

  • On the fence? If you’re interested in the job but worried you aren’t qualified, we encourage you to err on the side of applying. We’d hate to miss out on great candidates just because they’re worried they don’t check every box on the job description.
    We know it is a time commitment to prepare an application and we respect that effort by thoughtfully reviewing every complete application and responding one way or the other. But that kind of thoughtful review means that it sometimes takes us a while to get back to applicants, so please be patient with us and no phone calls.
    Thanks for your interest in Jackbox Games!

  • Update supporting documentation in Confluence, Google Docs, and supporting tools.
  • Monitor and tend to team health and morale.
