About us

Hacksaw Studios is a Stockholm-based game studio focused on creating innovative, high-quality gaming experiences. With a focus on performance and precision, we bring ideas to life through technical expertise and creative collaboration. We have wide distribution, and our games are played by millions of people every month by players all over the world.

We are looking for an experienced Head of Production to lead our in-house game production and ensure the successful delivery of games from concept through release. This is a senior leadership role for someone who thrives in a fast-moving production environment and knows how to bring structure, clarity, and momentum to complex, multi-team deliveries.

The Role

As Head of Production at Hacksaw Studios, you will own the end-to-end production pipeline - from concept through release. Working closely with production, QA, compliance, and management teams, you will ensure that every game is delivered on time, to the right standard, and with full visibility on risks, certification, and release planning.

Your key responsibilities include:

• Serve as the senior production leader across all active productions, ensuring Team Leads have the direction, support, and tools they need to deliver.
• Maintain oversight of all ongoing game productions, ensuring alignment on priorities, timelines, and delivery risks.
• Ensure effective resource planning and delivery across the production organisation.
• Act as the primary point of contact for production status, timelines, risks, and dependencies.
• Maintain expert knowledge of Hacksaw's end-to-end production process, including design, development, QA, compliance, certification, and release.
• Ensure games are prepared for certification and release in accordance with regulatory requirements.
• Coordinate with Compliance and QA teams throughout the production lifecycle to maintain consistent quality and release readiness.
• Continuously improve production processes, planning methodologies, and delivery practices to increase efficiency, predictability, and scalability.

• Proven experience in a senior production leadership role, ideally within the gaming industry.
• A strong understanding of end-to-end game production processes, from concept through release.
• The ability to lead and develop high-performing teams across multiple concurrent productions.
• A structured, organised approach with a track record of delivering complex projects on time and to a high standard.
• Strong communication skills - you're comfortable operating across all levels of the organisation, from production teams to senior management.
• The confidence to have difficult conversations, give direct feedback, and drive resolution when things get complex.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience in the regulated real-money gaming or iGaming industry.
• Familiarity with compliance, certification, and regulatory requirements relevant to game releases.
• A personal interest in games and the gaming industry.

What We Offer

• A modern office in central Stockholm.
• Work with experienced, passionate colleagues in the gaming industry.
• The opportunity to shape the delivery of games played by millions of players worldwide.
