Sr Producer, Mattel Digital Gaming

The Opportunity: 

This role partners closely with Product leadership and cross-functional stakeholders (Design, Art, Engineering, QA, Analytics, Monetization, Growth/UA, LiveOps, Brand, Legal, and Platform) to translate strategy into scoped work, realistic plans, and measurable outcomes. You will track delivery health using capacity/velocity and connect execution to player outcomes (engagement/retention) where relevant. The ideal candidate is passionate about casual mobile gaming and keeps up to date with the latest market trends and news.

Core Outputs

· Production schedules and status reporting that accurately track progress and forecast delivery

· Release readiness checklists, quality gates, and go/no-go decision support

· A visible risk register with owners, mitigations, and escalation triggers

· Clear stakeholder communications (weekly exec status; milestone readouts; decision logs)

· Post-mortems and process/tooling improvements that increase throughput and reduce repeat issues

What Your Impact Will Be: 

· Own delivery predictability using capacity planning, velocity/throughput tracking, and scope tradeoffs to keep commitments realistic and sustainable.

· Lead the external development partner’s execution: milestone definitions, sprint commitments, escalation paths, and integration into Mattel’s release cadence.

· Maintain a single source of truth in Jira (or equivalent) for scope, sprint readiness, dependency tracking, and delivery status; enforce sprint hygiene and backlog readiness.

· Run the operating rhythm: planning, execution syncs, dependency reviews, risk reviews, and release readiness (checklists/quality gates), plus post-mortems to improve reliability over time.

· Own submission and release planning across soft launch and global launch: platform requirements, build sign-offs, release coordination, and rollback/contingency planning.

· Drive build reviews and milestone evaluations to validate progress across design, content, engineering, performance, UX, and stability; enforce quality bars before releases.

· Partner with LiveOps/Product to translate strategy into a shipped cadence: events/offers/content beats (as applicable), operational readiness, and clear KPI targets for iteration.

· Communicate clearly and credibly: concise status updates, exec readouts, decision framing, and tradeoff recommendations.

· Foster a culture of transparency and accountability: realistic planning, clear ownership, and disciplined follow-through.
