Fractional Game Production & Live Operations
Senior production leadership for live service and free-to-play games — without the full-time hire.
I work with studios that are actively shipping, scaling, or transitioning and need experienced production and live ops leadership to bring clarity, structure, and momentum to their teams.
My engagements are flexible, focused, and designed to deliver impact quickly.
Studios typically bring me in when:
- Live ops feels reactive or chaotic
- Delivery timelines slip due to unclear ownership or dependencies
- Teams are scaling faster than their production processes
- A senior producer is needed during launch, transition, or growth
- You want leadership support without adding headcount
Fractional Game Producer (Retainer)
Ongoing senior production and live operations leadership embedded with your team.
This engagement is ideal for studios that need consistent ownership of delivery, cadence, and alignment—but don’t need or want a full-time producer.
What this includes
- Ownership of roadmaps, sprint planning, and delivery cadence
- Live ops planning (events, patches, releases)
- Cross-functional alignment across engineering, design, art, QA, and publishing
- Stakeholder communication and delivery visibility
- Mentorship and support for producers and team leads
Typical structure
- 8–15 hours/week or 15–25 hours/week
- Monthly retainer
- Fully remote, integrated into your existing tools and workflows
Live Ops Stabilization (8–12 Weeks)
Hands-on support to fix delivery friction and reactive live operations.
This engagement is designed to bring fast clarity to teams struggling with cadence, ownership, or delivery predictability.
What this includes
- Live ops and delivery audit (current state)
- Content cadence and release structure recommendations
- Sprint rituals and planning improvements
- Risk identification and mitigation planning
- Clear handoffs and communication flows
Best for
- Teams under delivery pressure
- Live service games with slipping schedules
- Studios preparing for scale or major updates
Launch & Transition Production Coverage
Short-term senior producer coverage during critical windows.
This engagement provides calm, experienced leadership during launches, team transitions, or periods of rapid change.
What this includes
- Milestone and dependency management
- Release readiness and coordination
- Risk management and incident planning
- Clear communication during high-pressure windows
Best for
- New game launches
- Major live updates
- Team restructuring or leadership gaps
In the first 1–2 weeks, you can expect:
- A clear view of current delivery risks and friction points
- Defined ownership and production rituals
- A roadmap or cadence that teams understand and trust
- Improved communication across disciplines
- Fewer surprises and calmer delivery
I integrate quickly, respect existing teams, and focus on what will move delivery forward—without unnecessary process.
I work exclusively in games, with a focus on:
- Live service games
- Free-to-play games
- Mobile, casual, and service-based titles
This specialization allows me to move quickly and speak the same language as your team.

We’re not sure yet
🔹 STILL NOT SURE?
That’s completely normal.
Many studios start with a short-term engagement and transition into fractional support once priorities and cadence are clear.
If you’re not sure which engagement fits your needs, that’s normal.
Start with a short intro call and we’ll determine whether fractional support, stabilization, or short-term coverage makes the most sense for your team.

Not every team needs full-time production leadership — but every live service game needs clarity, cadence, and ownership.
