ANDERSEN is looking for an experienced Producer / Technical Program Manager (TPM) to support the Minecraft Engineering Systems team. This role will focus on driving sprint execution, feature delivery, release readiness, and cross-team coordination while helping Product and Engineering teams stay organized and on track.

An exciting opportunity to work with the Minecraft franchise and help Engineering and Product teams successfully deliver complex initiatives. In this role, you’ll facilitate sprint planning, stand-ups, triage, and retrospectives while managing feature schedules, team capacity, and velocity.

You’ll partner with Product, Engineering, QA, and other teams to coordinate releases, drive decisions, and keep critical work moving forward.

• Working knowledge of Agile and Scrum methodologies, including sprint velocity and milestone delivery.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to bridge technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Lead sprint ceremonies and drive action-item follow-up.
• Track release readiness, dependencies, risks, and blockers.
• Ability to manage changing priorities and thrive in a fast-moving environment.

What Success Looks Like:

Success in this role will be measured by predictable delivery, accurate forecasting, and strong management of risks, dependencies, and blockers.
