What We Need

2K is looking for a seasoned and strategic Executive Producer to join our Publishing team. You’ll partner with one of our exceptional studios to lead cross-functional alignment and ensure excellence in both product development and publishing, delivering a high-quality, genre-defining new entry in one of 2K’s most iconic and beloved franchises. Reporting to the VP of Publishing, you’ll guide the studio and game through critical milestones to a successful launch and post-launch operations. Success in this role depends on your deep production expertise and an ability to influence product strategy, build trust, and drive results through partnership and collaboration. As the voice of the game within 2K and a key advocate for the studio, you’ll align creative vision with business goals and ensure the title delivers an industry-defining player experience that sets the foundation for long-term franchise success. You’ll work closely with Marketing, Commercial, Product Management, and other Publishing teams to connect product and franchise strategy with go-to-market execution. The ideal candidate is a relationship-first leader who thrives in a cross-functional environment, brings clarity to complexity, and relentlessly pushes toward the highest standards of quality.
