Job Description:

We are hiring an Art Director who brings two things. Creative leadership. You own the visual quality of what we deliver to our clients. You set art direction across projects, maintain consistency at scale, establish and enforce quality standards, and make sure every asset that leaves the studio meets the bar our clients expect from a AAA outsource partner. Commercial presence. You join pitches and client meetings. You help shape proposals, present our creative capabilities, answer hard questions about how we deliver quality, and build the trust that wins contracts. Your experience and portfolio carry weight in the room.

7+ years in professional game art or 3D production, with at least 3 in art direction or lead artist roles
AAA or AA experience required
Deep technical knowledge of 3D production: modeling, texturing (Substance 3D expected), PBR materials, lighting, rendering
Experience across multiple genres and art styles
Experience maintaining quality and consistency across large asset sets
Strong client-facing communication
