Help Wanted: Treyarch (Activision)

I’m sure you may be familiar with Treyarch. If not, maybe you haven’t played a  little game titled “Call Of Duty: World at War”. If not, do yourself a favor and do so, as it has zombies! And anything with zombies is good in my book. So the fine folks over at Treyarch are looking for a producer. If you happen to have any skills producing, nows the time to give them a call (not literally as no company likes phone calls about jobs). The requirements look a bit heavy, but it’s always worth a shot. Take a look below for the full details.

The Producer must be able to work closely with the Project Leads, understand the vision of the game, and assist in making the vision a reality.
