Game Producer

Wave’s mission is to unite humanity through immersive 3d entertainment. Our vision is to be the live entertainment hub of the metaverse: a place where anyone can attend, perform live, or be a part of a 24/7 live entertainment community. No matter where or who you are, our platform welcomes you—joining on mobile, streaming a 2D social video, or immersing you in 3D VR. Virtual shows (“Waves”) are the heartbeat of our platform. Unlike other virtual experiences, Waves are unique because they happen live, enabling real-time interaction and connection between performers and audiences.

As the Producer, reporting into the Executive Producer (and dotted line into Chief Product Officer), you will support both the creative and operational strategies for the delivery of shows and the development of the user facing side of our platform. This role combines expertise in live entertainment production and game development with a keen interest in emerging AR/VR/XR technologies. You will oversee and facilitate the end-to-end production of virtual experiences while collaborating with product, engineering, and design teams to evolve our platform. A significant aspect of this role will be based on-ground at our Culver City studio location, where you’ll have a hand in day-to-day operations and ensure seamless execution. You’ll thrive in a fast-paced, ambiguous startup environment, where leadership, adaptability, and creative problem-solving are essential.
