Rincon Del Simmer found that Maxis – creator of The Sims Franchise and SimCity Franchise, is in need of help for a brand new PC Game.
Take a look at what does it take to work on a new Maxis Title:
Maxis, originally founded in 1987, and now an Electronic Arts label with studios in Emeryville, Redwood City, and Salt Lake City has created some of the world’s most popular franchises including SimCity, Spore™, and The Sims™. Maxis games exemplify deep simulations that encourage player-driven creativity. We are a dedicated and an enthusiastic bunch that are passionate about our craft. We are looking for you to join our team and bring your knowledge and dedication with you. At Maxis, we believe in maintaining a productive yet fun environment while providing you with the opportunity to apply your knowledge, skills and talents to further advance your career.
Our Maxis Emeryville studio is seeking you as our Director of Product Development or Senior Development Director on a new AAA PC game! This project represents a critical piece of Maxis’ strategy for growth and requires a leader who can pull from his experience, energy and creativity to attack new challenges. Reporting to the Studio GM, you will have a unique opportunity to join the studio’s leadership staff and lead a newly formed team within Maxis. As Director or Product Development for this new game, you will be in charge of defining development strategy and successfully managing it to quality, time and budget goals.
We are looking for a professional with in-depth knowledge of game development acquired by having led the delivery of AAA and/or mobile game franchises. This role requires highly developed relationship building skills, the ability to build credibility and influence within and outside the Studio. It also requires comfort in using multiple leadership and partnering styles (e.g. coach; mentor; directive/prescriptive as required), and an ability to engage, lead, and influence meaningfully at all levels.
well, i believe that eliminates most of the current Maxis staff from the job!
Thank you for details.
I very like the sims all series.
[…] also worth mentioning that back in March 2014, Maxis opened a job position for a Senior Development Director for a new Maxis game! Although the job was located at Maxis […]
