Production Director

Studio Overview

We are Sports Interactive

The gaming studio behind: Football Manager.

Founded in 1994, Sports Interactive (SI) became a wholly owned subsidiary of SEGA Europe in 2006. Based at the Here East technology hub in Stratford, East London, the SI team continues to expand as we bring our titles to an ever-growing audience across an increasing variety of platforms.

To support our growth, we welcome the opportunity to connect with passionate people with the drive to match our ambitions and initiative to realise your individual potential.

Job Title: Production Director

Team: Production

Reporting into: Development Director

Working Model: Hybrid 2-3 days

Location: Here East, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London, E15 2GW

Position Overview

We’re hiring a Production Director to lead and elevate how we deliver Football Manager. 

This is a newly created senior role with a clear mandate to change how the studio manages delivery, improving quality, predictability, and our ability to deliver on time and to budget. This is a critical leadership position, interfacing closely with the senior leadership team, the wider studio, and SEGA’s Development Services teams.

 You will be responsible for turning creative ambition into high-quality, annually delivered games across a multi-year, multi-SKU roadmap, with deep technical, design, and production interdependencies. This means owning how work is planned, sequenced, staffed, tracked, tested, and ultimately shipped and being clear around what is and is not achievable within an annual cycle.

Our yearly multi-SKU release model brings real intensity and pressure. We need someone who stays calm under that pressure, understands the trade-offs it creates, and can make hard calls early rather than deferring them to later when it’s difficult to change course.

You’ll lead a large, multi-layered production led organisation, with real authority over delivery standards, operating rhythm, and execution. You’ll work alongside creative and technical leadership across Technology, Design, Art & Animation to ensure ambition and realism stay in balance and that decisions are made early enough to matter.

Key Responsibilities

Production Leadership   

• Own and evolve the studio’s production strategy, team structure, delivery frameworks and studio output, ensuring it’s on time and to a high-quality level. 
• Be a hands-on mentor to leads and senior producers, focused on building a high-performing department 

Delivery Focus  

• Drive clarity, responsibility, accountability, and realism across planning and delivery. 
• Operate with urgency, but not chaos, in the context of an annual release cycle, managing high expectations and multiple moving parts. 
• Partner with creative, technical, and commercial leads to ensure plans are ambitious, but achievable, supporting the games vision and backed by data, not guesswork. 
• Work closely with operational roles (e.g., Senior Operational Readiness Manager) to evolve the studio’s approach to planning, forecasting, and risk. 
• Drive adoption of best-in-class production tools and processes

Knowledge, Skills, and Experience

• Proven experience in Production Director, Executive Producer, or equivalent roles in high-stakes, deadline-driven environments. 
• A clear, confident leader who can set standards, not just follow them.  
• Deep understanding of what it takes to deliver under pressure, ideally with experience in annual shipping or high-cadence live service.  
• Track record of building and managing large production and QA teams   with evidence of improved performance, not just stability. 
• Able to work in a fast-moving, ambitious studio with both legacy complexity and future ambition.  
• Comfortable in ambiguity, sharp in decision-making, and capable of leading a team through change.  
• Strong command of production tools (JIRA, forecasting models, dashboards), but focused on what they unlock, not the admin they create.

Benefits of Working at Sports Interactive:

• Private Healthcare and Dental Cover.
• Contributory Pension Scheme (employer contributions up to 7% of annual salary).
• Eligibility to participate in the company’s discretionary bonus scheme.
• Access to life assurance and income protection Cover.
• Access to Travel Insurance for yourself and your family.
• Confidential mental health, therapy and coaching support with subsidised access.
• Flexible gym and fitness options via our benefits platform.
• Access to on-site physiotherapy and massage services.
• Free onsite evening bar in the Sports Interactive London HQ.
• A well-stocked breakfast bar with cereals, fruit, tea and coffee.
• Free access to games released under the SEGA Europe umbrella.
• Regular events and experiences in collaboration with our partnered football clubs.
• Multiple clubs and societies to join (including book club, art workshops and more).
• Personalised football shirt upon passing probation.
• Trophies & gift cards for length of service milestones.
• Cupcakes sent to you on your birthday.
