Team Cooper is a growing digital studio specialising in the development of games and other digital amusements for the web, mobile and beyond. We are predominantly a work-for-hire studio with a varied client base but also work on our own in-house productions.
As our workload continues to increase, we’re looking to hire an experienced Producer/Project Manager with a passion for digital media and games to join our expert team of developers and artists. You’ll be a (highly organized) people-person at the heart of our company, coordinating and communicating between our internal teams and the outside world to ensure the smooth running and delivery of our projects.

You’ll be combining your passion for all things digital with your planning, leadership and project management skills, often working on several projects at once. If you’re tech savvy with an appreciation of games and the web plus plenty of client-facing experience then we’d love to hear from you.
With strong regional relationships with Game Republic, Yorkshire’s indie scene (GA-MA-YO, SHINDIG) and based in the heart of Sheffield’s flourishing digital community, this is an opportunity to be a big player in a small but dynamic digital agency. This position will be crucial to the continued growth of Team Cooper and we expect your role to grow along with the company. So what are you waiting for?
