Producer

Role overview

• Run and facilitate meetings such as stand-ups, planning sessions, milestone reviews, client calls, and cross-discipline check-ins.
• Keep documentation, meeting notes, action points, and status reports accurate and current.
• Help clarify team goals, responsibilities, and priorities so everyone stays aligned.
• Work with leads to improve team productivity, refine workflows, and support morale.
• Assist with onboarding and integrating new team members into the project.
• When applicable, support console submission planning, compliance tracking, build preparation, and QA/platform coordination.
