Why Join Inworld

Inworld’s mission is to create and inspire new meaningful relationships. We provide a creative suite for building virtual characters, with a focus on gaming, metaverse, and brand experiences. Our goal is to give creators an intuitive and powerful way to create characters whose personalities, thoughts, memories, and behaviors are designed to mimic the deeply social nature of human interaction.

You will be joining a team of 40 creative technologists, scientists, engineers, and designers who are pioneering the use of artificial intelligence for social connection. While other companies are scaling back, we are well capitalized for our next phase of growth.

Inworld was founded in 2021 and has raised approximately $70 million. We’re backed by top investors including Section 32, Intel Capital, Founders Fund, BITKRAFT Ventures, The Venture Reality Fund, Kleiner Perkins, CRV, Meta, and Microsoft’s M12 fund. Inworld was one of six companies selected for the 2022 Disney Accelerator. Prominent angels include Twitch Co-Founder, Kevin Lin; Oculus Co-Founder, Nate Mitchell; Animoca Brands Co-Founder, Yat Siu; The Sandbox Co-Founder, Sebastien Borget and NaHCO3, the family office of Riot Games Co-Founder, Marc Merrill.

Your Responsibilities

Inworld is in a very special place right now. On the one hand, we have the backing of top-tier venture capitalists and industry leaders, ensuring that we are well positioned to build the future of immersive entertainment. On the other hand, it is day one for us as we iterate on our beta, launch a new product category, and inspire creators to build next-generation, AI-powered characters.

As the producer behind our creative projects and demos, you’ll be a co-creator alongside our partners, BD, technical, and creative teams. Expect a ‘full stack’ experience, where you will work closely with cross-functional teams and clients to coordinate all facets of pre-production, development, launch, and live operations of our next big project. We want you to be producing your life’s best work in the nexus of creativity, technology, and partnerships.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to determine mutual vision, goals, project requirements, and deliverables for internal and client-facing projects
• Source the best and brightest vendors for creative projects and manage purchase orders
• Establish and create processes to move projects forward efficiently, while delivering quality creative outcomes
• Proactively identify and mitigate production red flags while executing against ambitious targets

Our ideal candidate is self-motivated, always follows-up, and enjoys working within a dynamic team-oriented environment. The act of planning excites you; organization and efficiency are always on your mind. You have a knack for turning ambiguity into execution and delivering projects on time. What you should bring to the team:

• Previous experience (5+ years) working in a production role where you’ve managed cross-functional teams in the creation and delivery of complex, first-rate projects.
• Prefer applicants with previous games publishing, entertainment, interactive digital, or creative agency experience
• Actively integrate yourself into each project production team from briefing through to final delivery
• Ensure deadlines are met with lethal precision, and flag the ones that aren’t attainable upfront
• Comfortable communicating with digital artisans (creatives, illustrators, designers, 2D animators, 3D animators, concept artists) and technologists (AI/ML scientists, software engineers, product managers, developers). You can act as a go-between to translate between the two groups.
• Have sufficient technical knowledge to foresee and address possible planning/production issues
• Ensure the work meets the client’s strategy, brand and creative goals, as well as our own quality standards.
• The ability to manage clients, your own time, and resources is a must.
