  • Partner with lead artists to develop the artistic tone (set the ambiance; explore locations, key moments, emotional contrasts, characters, etc.).
  • Create the visual style guide of a game (put together mood boards, references, and descriptions).
  • Coordinate and oversee the art team throughout production.
  • Find balance between artistic aspects and technical constraints.
  • Provide leadership and constructive feedback to achieve quality.
  • Collaborate with members of interdependent teams in all stages of development.
  • Participate in recruitment to build the artistic team & foster its growth.

Qualifications

What you bring

  • Leadership experience in the video game industry (or other relevant experience)
  • Knowledge of Photoshop and 3D software (e.g. 3DS Max)
  • Understanding of art fundamentals and artistic culture
  • A highly creative, collaborative, and empathetic spirit
  • Excellent problem-solving, organizational, communication, interpersonal, presentation, and mentorship skills
  • Ability to accept feedback and adapt to it
  • A willingness to roll up your sleeves to get the job done

What to send our way

  • Your CV highlighting your education, experience, skills, and any games shipped
  • A portfolio of your best work (attach images or send us a link to your personal website or online portfolio)
