You will define and execute a unified visual identity and storytelling system across key art, trailers, screenshots, social assets, and promotional campaigns while also being hands-on in production with your team. You will supervise our video team, our senior marketing designer, external partners, and coordinate with Product, Marketing and Communications, but your domain is purely creative and executional. We’ve built a nimble, fast-turnaround team, so you must thrive in a high-velocity environment and deliver premium visuals that delight players.
Your daily tasks:

- Work closely with the Development Art Director and Producers to ensure strong alignment between marketing and in-game visuals, creating a cohesive and consistent player experience from the first key art or trailer to the final in-game world.

- Collaborate closely with Product and Community teams, not to define campaign strategy or messaging, but to bring those ideas to life visually and raise the entire team's output.
- Act as a visual storyteller who builds narrative beats in visuals and video that connect emotionally with players, highlight world, character, and atmosphere, and support marketing objectives such as brand awareness, acquisition, and engagement.
- Stay up to date with industry visual and marketing trends, competitive benchmarks in game marketing, awareness of formats, channels, video and social best practices, and platform-specific constraints, and bring fresh ideas to the table.
