For the first time in a while, UO is looking for an Associate Producer. This position basically went vacant, when Bonnie Armstrong was promoted from GP to full Producer. There is also a hint (rather blatantly) of more hires in the future.

It also hints at one of my questions for Broadsword about what happens with the UO Japanese team…

Full Announcement (UO.com):

I am also happy to announce that we are actively looking for candidates to fulfill the position of Assistant Producer for Ultima Online. Interested persons may send their cover letter and resume’ to Mesanna@broadsword.com

Some of the requirements for the Associate Producer position include,

• Fluency in Japanese and English
• Willingness to relocate or reside in the Northern Virginia area
• A passion for games and the communities they support

All future positions, contract or full time, will be presented to you the player base first to fill. I think with your experience and game knowledge we can do great things together!

Update: They are also looking for four Japanese EMs (Event Moderators):
