Role Overview

Scopely Explore is looking for an Executive Producer for Pikmin Bloom to join its Leadership Team and help shape the future of one of the world’s leading location-based live service games.

• Provide clear visibility into project health, execution risks, and mitigation plans to senior leadership.
• AI-Enabled Operational Excellence: Champion the adoption of AI-powered workflows that improve planning, communication, documentation, risk management, and production visibility. Continuously identify opportunities to automate routine work, accelerate execution, and increase the effectiveness of globally distributed teams.
• Office Requirement: Required in-office 3 days per week on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
