Producers

The Line Producers of Software

You know how to ship. You've taken products from concept to launch. You can assemble a team, manage a budget, make hard calls, and deliver on deadline. At Emergent, Producers are the linchpin — the ones who turn a greenlit vision into a live product.

This isn't a CEO role with fundraising anxiety. The funding is already secured. Your job is execution: scope the work, hire the builders, manage the timeline, and ship something users love.

What Producers Do

• Own the Delivery — You're accountable for shipping the MVP and beyond
• Assemble the Team — Pull from our Builder pool or bring your own people
• Manage the Budget — You have a fixed budget; make it work
• Make Product Calls — Scope, priorities, trade-offs — you decide
• Report Progress — Regular updates to the Studio

What We Look For

• Track Record — You've shipped products before (doesn't have to be at scale)
• Technical Fluency — You don't need to code, but you need to speak the language
• Leadership — People want to work with you
• Judgment — You know when to push and when to cut scope
• Availability — This requires real commitment (part-time doesn't work)

What to Include in Your Application

• Your Background — Resume or LinkedIn is fine
• Products You've Shipped — What did you build? What was your role?
• A Case Study — Walk us through one project: challenges, decisions, outcome
• Why Emergent — What draws you to this model?
• Availability & Location — When could you start? Where are you based?

The Deal

• Producer Fee — Competitive compensation for the production run
• Success Bonus — Tied to product launch and early traction
• Profit Share — Ongoing stake in the product's success
• Portfolio Building — Each production adds to your producing credits

We're building a roster of Producers. Even if we don't have an immediate match, strong candidates go on our shortlist for future productions.
