About The Job
Games Workshop has an exciting opportunity for a Production Controller to join our Black Library team, where you will play a critical role in supporting our creatives by devising and overseeing plans to deliver our physical and digital products on-time and to the right specifications.
Solution-focused and adaptable, you will use software to create schedules of work for around 50 studio colleagues, and lead regular in-person catch-up meetings with all to affirm progress towards upcoming deadlines. Your delivery plans should always reflect real-time reality, and your communication around changes will need to be proactive and clear so that stakeholders in the wider business can easily understand and stay in sync. You will also be responsible for managing short and long term capacity by regularly forecasting demand on team resources and communicating and escalating risks to key colleagues.
Additionally, you will leverage your knowledge of book publishing to turn graphic design briefs into print specifications, and work closely with our Buying Team to achieve timely tendering of all physical products.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Organised and with meticulous attention to detail, you will also take delivery of physical product samples from external suppliers and coordinate distribution and timely approval, ensuring that IP-sensitive products are handled and stored appropriately at all times.
Credible and with a passion for working with others, you will work collaboratively with internal teams and external partners to overcome challenges and solve problems.
Successful candidates for the role will have a strong understanding of the book production process and excellent scheduling skills and prioritisation skills.
