Looking for a Game Producer

[Aaron Briggs]

Hi all -

I'm Senior Product Manager at HealthTeacher here in Nashville and we're accelerating our game development efforts this year. We're looking for someone to sit in a producer role -- managing developers, illustrators, video production teams, etc -- on five new physical-activity-based Flash games, designed for use in elementary school classroom.

If you know of anyone looking for a gig, send them my way -- you can email me directly at aaron dot briggs at healthteacher.com.

Hey Aaron,

Welcome to the group! Do you have a link to a job posting for that
position? I just wanted to send it off to some people. Looks like a
pretty interesting company. We also have game designers, illustrators,
and more too.

Hey Chris -

Here's the background:

HealthTeacher launched a new product this year called GoNoodle (www.gonoodle.com). Because many schools are cutting PE, GoNoodle is designed to help kids get exercise during the school day in their classroom via fun group-play games. The teacher can play these games in less than five minutes in natural classroom transition times -- all she needs is an internet connection and a projector or SMARTboard. All games are built in Flash at this time.

In our current beta product, we have two games, with two more in the works. The two in-progress games are being developed by a seasoned Flash dev/animator in New York. Those games should wrap up in the next few weeks. However, we're in the early design phase on four other games with a game designer in Nova Scotia who built an iOS game with us last year (www.awesomeupstander.com). These games are being built in Unity and ported to Flash so we have more options in the future on repurposing the games to other platforms. We also have a creative director for games on contract; she's based in NYC and brings a background in kid entertainment from Nickelodeon.

What we really need is a producer -- someone to sit in the project management role. Shane -- our guy in Nova Scotia -- is working on game design docs and we'd love to producer who can collaborate with him on those docs. Beyond that, we'll have lots of moving pieces -- video production, illustration, animation. We need a producer to work with Shane and Abby (creative director) to get all the pieces organized, get a project plan in place, and produce these four new games as quickly as possibly. Experience should show strong project management skills within projects involving game or multimedia development. We need a strong communicator and someone who has a track record of getting jobs done on time.

Additionally, we have an update to one of the current games -- we'll need someone to help us add new levels to a current game, which will involve designing the levels, working with an animator, and working with our Flash dev in NYC to update those.

We're thinking this is a full-time or almost full-time position. We'd love someone who can work out of our office, just so there's transparency since the rest of the team is virtual. That said, it's not a requirement -- if the right person can't be based in the office, we can make an alternate arrangement fit as long as there's clear, regular communication.

All resumes can come to me at aaron dot briggs at healthteacher.com! Feel free to also share game design documents as examples of previous work.
