Responsibilities
Zynga's External Development (ExDev) team is the centralized hub that manages outsourced game development and services across Zynga's global portfolio.
The ExDev Producer is the primary operational engine of this team — managing outsourcing pipelines, vendor relationships, contracts, and budgets to ensure that studios get the external support they need, on time and on budget.
You have the business acumen to negotiate with vendors, the financial literacy to manage budgets, and the interpersonal skills to align internal and external stakeholders at every level.
Working in ExDev means operating at the intersection of production, finance, legal, and creative.
You'll partner with game studios across Zynga's entire portfolio and work with a global network of service providers.
As an ExDev Producer, your work spans four core domains: Outsourcing Pipeline Management, Vendor Relations, Financial Management, and Legal & Contracts.
