What I'm looking for

Senior production leader seeking Executive Producer/Production Director/Senior Publishing Producer roles. Own end-to-end delivery & LiveOps for multi-platform F2P/GaaS. Data-driven, player-first, strong cross-functional and vendor leadership. Remote/hybrid EMEA preferred; US time zones possible.

Hi, I'm Artem, and it's nice to meet you. I build studios the way designers build levels: for flow, clarity, and payoff.

Over nine years in game development, I’ve led multi-title delivery across live service portfolios and studio operations at scale (150+ org structures; 5-8 titles concurrently). I specialize in the "operating system" of game development - ensuring that creative vision is supported by disciplined roadmaps, zero-based budgeting, and healthy team dynamics.

Most recently, I worked in studio management role. I owned the P&L, roadmap, internal tooling, and partner relationships, taking the project from ambiguity to a structured vertical slice path.

Previously, I led Studio Operations at DECA Games (Embracer Group), optimizing production pipelines across a portfolio that included Star Trek Online, Neverwinter, and mobile live-service titles. I started my career in Community Management, which grounded my leadership in a deep understanding of player psychology.

Core Expertise:

• Executive Production: Managing P&L, risk (RAID), and multi-year roadmaps for mobile/AA titles.
• Studio Operations: Scaling remote-first teams, M&A integration, and resource leveling.
• Live Service: Balancing technical debt with content delivery to sustain 10+ year-old economies.
• Leadership: Coaching leads into owners and bridging the gap between "creative" and "business".
